I want to start taking more personal notes, what do y'all use for taking and organizing notes? What I'm looking for: - FOSS - Linux and Android apps - Saves to plaintext files so I can use Syncthing - easy management with folders, tags, search, etc - built-in todo/kanban/project management features would be nice #asknostr

It seems to me like they attempt to appear that way, the have a lot of their docs and stuff on github and link to it from their main site, but the actual application code is not there

Yeah looks like they have a plugin API and a private codebase.

Doesn't do any of the last bullet point but Zim works well for this, usable on Android w markor. Turtl also worth a look
Hey, I might be able to help you here. I write all my notes in markdown, so it stays readable on any device and platform. On Linux and Windows there is VNote which is open-source https://github.com/vnotex/vnote. On Android - also open source - you can use Markor. Very simple and effective for small touch devices (I have even used it on E-Readers). VNote has the advantage of opening a large amount of tabs from multiple notebooks, on multiple workspaces, all helping you stay organized. It also holds advanced features such as regex-search. Over time, I also customized it with keyboard shortcuts for global search and tab navigation so it feels more like a browser. It does some Markdown rendering while you type (text size, color), as well as it offers a built-in html viewer, applying latex formulas etc. all at the press of a button.
