A fully open-source and end-to-end encrypted note taking alternative to Evernote

Obsidian.md

I have moved on to a plaintext lifestyle that isn't tied to any tooling. If I have to protect/encrypt the content, I will look at doing that at the container -- such as a Vault. Tools such as Obsidian[1] are a good option for me, as I can use it as that -- a tool and not worry about the content being tied to any platform - open or otherwise. For your Vault protection, tools such as the Cryptomator[2] works well. I reason that tools will come and go. Even for many open source ones, I had my experience of being unable to rebuild/recompile because of the outdated libraries, unmaintained code, etc. The world moves on, real fast. Plain text is and will still work in the future. I'm also OK, spicing it up a bit with MarkDown, which still can maintain human readability even if the reader doesn't know what Markdowns are. I'm not against using tooling in a group/team, where the tooling plays a good role in making the experience smooth. I would also definitely love to pay for tools that helps the team improve and save time and frustrations. Best of luck to your product, and I hope it serves the use cases of others who need it. 1. https://obsidian.md 2. https://cryptomator.org.

Publii

I am more likely to journal and blog if the friction to creating a post is as simple as opening a document and writing. The important part of journalling or note software is that you actually create notes. I did use Hetzner to run a Wordpress blog but it had an overhead of server expenses and keeping Wordpress up-to-date. I don't want my data trapped in a proprietary system where it is difficult to export, so I use plaintext. I looked into Publii [1] but I prefer my current plaintext setup. Today I journal software ideas, computer ideas, startup ideas and community ideas on GitHub in the open, as README.md files. My journal is all public on GitHub at the following links. There are over 550+ journal entries, I am sure you shall enjoy them. https://github.com/samsquire/ideas https://github.com/samsquire/ideas2 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas3 https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4 https://github.com/samsquire/startups https://getpublii.com/.
