Yes, I know that the are dozens of notes apps. I’m looking for recommendations based on a few features that I like:

  • nice design (including color coding)
  • easy checklists
  • sharing - this one is key. I use a shared shopping list and we both need to add and edit.
  • pinning and archiving (hidden notes)

I don’t mind running it from my homelab server, but that is not a requirement. Does anyone use a notes app that you love? Let me know!

    I pay for all of the software that I use, and encourage others to do so as well. That’s not what this is at all. Pretty much the opposite effect.

      I paid for Evernote for years, got a double helping of enshitification.

      I pay for Google Workspace. They will Play eventually sunset keep even though I pay for their services because that’s just what they do.

      If you don’t host it yourself, they can and will take it away from you.

        Yep. You can pay with your data, you can pay a corporation, or you can pay open source developers directly.

        If someone can’t afford to pay, or doesn’t believe in it, that’s fine, and that’s part of what open source is, which is amazing. But if you’re in a position to support foss developers, and they created something useful for you, I think it’s the least we can do.

      Don’t worry, that guy wins most useless comment. You’re post was great.

        Yes, it is?

        Your rant doesn’t make sense. Asking for suggestions because you’re not OK with being spied on (especially when you’re perfectly willing to absorb the hosting costs yourself or pay for a service that isn’t hostile) is perfectly valid behavior.
