Basically, I\u2019m asking for suggestions. Do you know any good note taking app that works on linux desktop? I\u2019m looking for something that I can use instead of Notion or Obsidian, with some nice to have:<\/p> <ul> <li>Open source (that\u2019s the reason I\u2019m not that much into Obsidian, it could disappear tomorrow and I could not replace it with a community maintained fork)<\/li> <li>Markdown based. I\u2019d like to know that I can replace that app for another one when I want, and that\u2019s not possible when they use their own obscure format<\/li> <li>Local. I\u2019m not interested in paying monthly for cloud storage. And actually, I\u2019d prefer to know for certain that nothing leaves my local machine<\/li> <li>Nice UX. I know that using plain text files and vim might do the job, but I\u2019d like something more user friendly and with nice features (Notion, for example, nails it in my opinion)<\/li> <li>Bonus: Can also be used on android (I\u2019m aware this is a though one, and is not a deal breaker)<\/li> <\/ul> <p>I know that all those requirements are hard to fulfill and I don\u2019t even know if something like that exists, so I\u2019d appreciate any kind of suggestion. For example, It\u2019d be great if an open source like that exists, but I\u2019m not completely closed to open-source-ish proprietary apps (e.g. licenses not really open but close enough), as long as they are free to use and work on linux.<\/p> <\/div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a target = '_blank'  href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/nicrogu\"> \/u\/nicrogu <\/a> <br> <span><a target = '_blank'  href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/linux\/comments\/1jamcmz\/open_source_note_taking_apps\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span>   <span><a target = '_blank'  href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/linux\/comments\/1jamcmz\/open_source_note_taking_apps\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-15288","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15288"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15288\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/userspace.spotcheckit.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
