Just wanted to share my experience with notesnook as a daily note taking and information organizer app. The free tier is fairly barebones but you can use it for simple stuff, but I'll say that the paid $50 per year tier is really nice. I'm surprised at the polish and feature set for a OSS project from 2019 but it's also really euphoric to find something private, secure, sleek, feature rich, and OSS

Used to use it until I found something better

So better for you is convoluted storage formats and zero guarantees it will stay open source / free / self hostable run by a for profit company founded on the bullshit around Standard Notes? Okay great enjoy.

Yeah sure, so open that you can't even host it... https://lemmy.world/comment/4939752

Just a side note, the Insomnia rest client was also open-source until they decided to fuck everyone last month. VSCode is also open-source until you realize the language plugins that you require are also open but you can only compile and run them for official builds of VSCode making it so if you try to create a fork of VSCode you can't have any support for any programming language because it won't be an official build :) MS be like.

They're literally working on making it possible to self-host it.

Also do you know what GPLv3 means? Open-source into perpetuity they can't alter the license legally
