Hey guys, i am planning to begin my Journaling journey starting today. Any recomendations? I have already tried DayOne and Journey Didn't like them Particularly. DayOne seems uncool and even though they claim, a little unsafe. Plus i once before lost all my journal entries in DayOne bcoz i didn't save the encryption keys in my GoogleDrive. Journey is Worse (my opinion). They keep on pushing me to buy their paid option which costs 4$ per month. Like WTF. Its just a Journaling app. I am not going to try Penzu because i have heard a lot of bad reviews on how they cheat people and stuff. Finally i landed on DD-DigitalDiary which isn't open source. Which Sucks. But at least isn't costing me like 50$ a month or anything. Its mostly free. But i am looking or something better. More specifically OpenSource, Free (or almost free) and idk, modern & sxy Like when will these huge companies understand. Not everything needs to be VC funded. Next i am launching my VC funded Venture backed Fried Eggs company

@Sauron Joplin (mentioned earlier) is fantastic. I use Standard Notes. Big fan.

You know, the more i read the recomendations the more i am starting to like DD-DigitalDiary. There are a lot of issues with it. I am not saying there isnt. But its COOL. And Not Boring. Like Joplin has everything i want but it is super boring. Standard Notes is Not. It is Better. At least i guess similar to DayOne but with the Sync options which is pretty cool. But have you seen the UI/UX designs of DD-DigitalDiary. Like it looks more like Instagram than a normal journaling application. I Wish they make it OpenSource soon though

TrilliumNext Notes is a great one.

I'm not one for journalling but I was looking for notes and I didn't like Logseq since it was to journally for me. https://logseq.com/

I don't have an answer for you, but a dev for that DigitalDiary app posted earlier today looking for feature input and saying they are going to open source it in the next 2 months or something like that. I don't have a link to the post, sorry, but I just thought it might be helpful to know about
