    I still use a pen and notebook. But I have an excuse: I prefer pen and paper to write (and I’m starting to get old too) ;)

    The only digital note taking app I still use is the one that comes with the E2EE filen.io cloud storage, from Germany. It certainly is very limited but it’s more than enough for my occasional note-taking usage and it’s synced everywhere I may need to access it.

      I use a pocket notebook for my weekly “todo” list type notes. I have a Obsidian vault for long term documentations and projects and stuff like that. I tried doing everything in obsidian but between having to pull out my phone, navigate to the app and then type on the shitty phone keyboard it was more troublesome than just carrying around actual notebook.

        I’m 99% sure they ripped the note editing functionality from Standard Notes.

        Not sure to understand, how could anyone ‘rip’ a note editing feature? Put text in a file (hopefully encrypted since it’s online) is kinda the purpose of all note-taking app… which they all copied from their analog (and much older) version pen + paper. And the vast majority of them do it using Markdown, too. Even sync is available in most note-taking apps (with or without E2EE encryption), or do you have something a little more specific in mind they would have ripped?

        and try to sell them back to you with a yearly license, even if you host your own server.

        That’s one (other) reason I like filen: lifetime plans are available (the most interesting ones are offered for a limited-time once a year during blackfriday). No sub.
