I tired a bunch, but current state of the art is text-generation-webui, which can load multiple models and has a workflow similar to stable-diffusion-webui.

I asked this a couple of weeks ago, there were many solid suggestions: https://lemm.ee/post/4593760

I ended up with Joplin and am very happy with it.

that would be only limited to one device though. screenshot looks good.

what about emacs?

For the record, I also found that turtl is FOSS and seems to have a decent UI. I will give it a try.

I guess it does a job, but will lack some features like tagging I am accustomed to from keep. Also I would need to maintain a whole nextcloud instance for it.

Oh, I didn’t realize it was open source from the look of the website. But it actually is! And it’s active. https://github.com/standardnotes/app

I will check it out.

Hmm, latest commit 7 years ago… It was also not easy to find the “upstream” repo, the link on the website 404s. https://github.com/cognirel/Quillpad-Server

Right, obsidian didn’t appeal to me since it’s proprietary.

I probably will look into setting up a Joplin server and maybe write a frontend for it. Also didn’t try frontend options on PC yet.

Until now I only tried the Android app and while it looked quite mature, I didn’t get quite the UX from it I was anticipating.

Some things that bothered me:

• Creating a note requires 2 clicks, 1 should be fine.I want to start writing and decide whether its a todo later.

• Tag management. In Keep #tags are parsed from text automatically. Although there is a conflict with markdown syntax, having to issue 3 clicks to add a tag seems bothersome

• Tags are not shown in the main menu, but are another view.

• Didn’t figure out what notebooks are supposed to be, but i guess some kind of directory system. Don’t see the point when having a tag system. In the end they are too prominent in the UI.

But the synchronization options and markdown capabilities are a big plus. mardown is actually a feature missing in keep.

I actually stumbled upon it, but even though they have an active github account and there is an Arch Linux package, the software is proprietary. So I would rather patch the FOSS alternatives to my desire.
