Hey everyone, I'm trying to replace most of the private owned app I use by FOSS ones, and today i'm pointing at notion.

I just use it as a way to organize my notes and use it both on my laptop and phone, and i'm looking for something that can have that fonctionnality.

I've already looked into a bunch of foss note taking apps but I didn't see any that could do it. (maybe i didn't look hard enough tho)

I'm willing to use syncthing or smth similar if needed.

do you have any recommendations? anyway, have a nice day and thanks to everyone making the internet/softwares more libre and accessible!

At some point you might want to print your notes, publish them on the web, or share them with people not using Org. Org can convert and export documents to a variety of other formats while retaining as much structure (see Document Structure) and markup (see Markup for Rich Contents) as possible.

The libraries responsible for translating Org files to other formats are called backends. Org ships with support for the following backends:

ascii (ASCII format)

beamer (LaTeX Beamer format)

html (HTML format)

icalendar (iCalendar format)

latex (LaTeX format)

md (Markdown format) odt (OpenDocument Text format) org (Org format) texinfo (Texinfo format) man (Man page format)

Users can install libraries for additional formats from the Emacs packaging system. For easy discovery, these packages have a common naming scheme: ox-NAME, where NAME is a format. For example, ox-koma-letter for koma-letter backend. More libraries can be found in the ‘org-contrib’ repository (see Installation).

Org only loads backends for the following formats by default: ASCII, HTML, iCalendar, LaTeX, and ODT. Additional backends can be loaded in either of two ways: by configuring the org-export-backends variable, or by requiring libraries in the Emacs init file. For example, to load the Markdown backend, add this to your Emacs config:

(require 'ox-md)

There you go, maybe try reading a bit about the thing before commenting on it?

It's remarkable how you continue to trudge ahead while being objectively wrong about everything. Your opinion is absurd, and everything you cited is incongruous to the discussion. Try saying anything in any way relevant next time. Again, not sorry in the slightest.

Ad Hominem attack, try harder :)

Maybe cite some evidence?
