As an experienced developer, I already use too many productivity/development tools and I was reluctant to try another tool. I was happy with taking notes in my good old paper diary. But the simplicity of Developer Diary attracted me.
Feature-wise, it did what it promised without any distraction or clutter. I could take notes, reflect back and make better decisions with insights such as maker vs manager mode, deep work intervals, etc. The quick global shortcut (Cmd+Shift+I) to bring the focus on diary is so underrated, it wouldn't have used it so consistently without it. It solved the common problem I had with other productivity tools - I start to use them with great motivation but leave them in between because they feel like a chore after a while. But the shortcut and autostart feature made sure that not only I dump my thoughts in the diary but also reflect back on them regularly without any annoying notifications. That's what made me stick around for the first two week and then it became an effortless habit.
The overall impact of using the Developer Diary is enlightening. I am less anxiety now, I have more clarity in my thoughts, and I get more time for deep work. Being able to follow my coding plans more consistently with less distractions helped me solve hard coding problems.

Tried Obsidian for a while, loved a lot about it, but....mmm. Obsidian out of the box is a bit limited; plugins are great and add tons of features, but then you start hitting issues with plugin maintainers abandoning plugins you rely on, or needing to make a decision between three different plugins that all do the same thing slightly different. Depending on your use case and expectations that may not be a big... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
I move between machines a lot and prefer an online tool; I'm self-hosting Trilium Notes https://github.com/zadam/trilium ; this looks a bit cleaner but without syncing (or server-side storage) it misses a bunch of potential use cases. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
Have a look at Trilium: especially if you have a way of running it on an internet connected server, it solved all note-taking problems I had: mainly have access to it from anywhere incl. work. Source: 12 months ago
In case if you want some Evernote alternatives, here's my shortlist: 1. Trilium Notes: https://github.com/zadam/trilium. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
To my understating, you can pay to have Obsidian notes sync. I know nothing of the security around the encryption. One of the main reasons that I went with Joplin Notes over Obsidian is that Joplin gave me the ability to sync without paying for access to a server that I don't know well enough to trust. There is also Trilium notes (https://github.com/zadam/trilium). However, that did not over a sync feature last... Source: 12 months ago
