Up to now I’ve been using Simplenote, which has a Linux client (but also Android & iOS) & supports live collaboration on notes. However, Simplenote hasn’t had a meaningful update for a long time, & it’s recently been behaving strangely, e.g. notes undeleting themselves, line duplications & undeletions.

Can anyone recommend an alternative? Spinning up an ownCloud/nextcloud instance just to use Joplin feels a little overkill. I stumbled across turtl, but the project looks abandoned.

    Here’s a few I’ve been trying lately,

    • Anytype.io
    • Standard Notes
    • Trillium
    • Notesnook
    • Logseq

    I tried all for an extended period of time and landed with Anytype being the best for my needs. It’s quite new on the market but has a super pleasing UI, very secure and is based in Switzerland 🇨🇭

      Anytype looks interesting but it looks like most of it is non-free non-opensource software:

      While our core solutions, the infrastructure protocol any-sync, and the data protocol any-block, are released as open source under the permissive MIT license, we distribute the remaining layers, including the middleware library any-heart, and applications like anytype-js, anytype-swift, and anytype-kotlin, under the Any Source Available License. This license grants individuals the freedom to review, modify, and utilize the code for personal, academic, scientific, research, and development purposes. However, for commercial use, consent from the Any Association is required.

        I think by now all their components are oss. At least they released their storage server recently.
