Hi.

I'm curently using Nextcloud notes for its convenience. I use the app on my phone, and the webui on my pc.

I'm willing to ditch Nextcloud as a whole, so I want to replace my note taking habits.

I've tried Trilium, which lacks an Android app, and I feel the WPA makes the UI unpractical and hard to read.

I've tried Joplin, but it lacks a webui.

Are there other alternatives I've missed out ?

Solution: I ended up finding Flatnotes. It's dead simple to run and to use, has markdown and WYSIWYG, and the WPA is flawless.

Logseq can be launched as a desktop app and in a web browser and has both iOS and Android apps. Official sync is a paid feature but there are other options (e.g. Syncthing).

That's what I use.
Logseq with Syncthing for interoperability between my PC & smartphone.

How does syncthing compair to git. Im using git currently but sycing to mobile has a tendancy to break

No problems at all.
I setup a 3-way folder sync between 3 nodes:

  1. Desktop (Linux)
  2. Android
  3. VPS

VPS is always on, so even if my smartphone is not connected to the internet when I log off of my desktop, the smartphone automatically fetches the updated folder from the VPS .

I haven't used git for this purpose but I'd think the process would be tedious. Manual commit, push, fetch ...

Also, I tried to set it up with Nextcloud but I couldn't get Android Logseq to use the Nextcloud folder for some reason. I don't remember the exact issue.

I might have to try syncthing then im sure i can use git for versioning my notes from just one node and retain that feature. I use logseq so on desktop git syncing is automatic.

Second (or third?) Logseq. Bit of a learning curve, at least for me and overall it suits me much better than Standard Notes, which I was using previously. Standard Notes is now way overpriced compared to what it initially was, so great timing as well. One gripe I have with Logseq is you are unable to export queries as a page or text doc. It definitely has its quirks, though overall it's great. And if anyone wants to share how they organise pages, tags, etc. feel free!

I want to avoid syncthing for my notes as I've read some people experience issues with duplicates and conflicts between versions.

Since it just uses markdown files in a directory, You could use anything to synchronise the state. E.g. nextcloud desktop or git
