Joplin – open-source note-taking and to-do application with sync

I jumped from Joplin to Logseq too.

Before it was Boostnote.

Probably the reason was both Boostnote and Joplin seems to have stopped developing the application and shifted focus to monetization.

Also I personally prefer the (much) more technical way that Logseq work. It is not a markdown editor, but a knowledge base that stores its data as plaintext files in a markdown-like format.

One question: do you have pointers to a good way to setup git sync and syncthing? I pay enough to LogSeq to have free sync but I prefer to self host and also the current sync model is somewhat flaky.

I have a private git repo in Github which is the folder that Logseq uses. I have a cron job to runs script for git-sync on all machines on reboot. I also have syncthing running on my personal desktop that shares this git repo with my android phone. It runs smooth as long as you don't do simultaneous edits from multiple machines.This will break the git-sync and you will have to do merge conflicts of that happens.

I don't know about Boostnote but Joplin is still actively developed. Just check the changelogs, and all that is open source:

Ok, I only open the app sometimes to see if there is an update available and I can't remember last time I saw one.
