Notesnook is down - potential FOSS alternatives? (midwest.social)

Notesnook has been down for about a day, consistent crashes despite deleting it and reinstalling. I don't seem to be the only one as evidenced by the users voicing this concern on their Github page.

So, while imagining Notesnook will never get back up, what would be some alternatives to it? I've tried out Joplin, Quillpad, and Notally in the past, but none really stuck with me. I don't use Nextcloud either. From what I've heard, many seem happy with Standard Notes and Markor. Anything y'all can vouch for?

Looking for an alternative that gets as close to Notesnook as possible, without a subscription model.

as if on queue, I just released a new version of my own note taking app https://p.programming.dev/post/programming.dev/18265389

Its local so it's as good as your HDD/SDD, its encrypted so no one can know the content beside yourself, and you can sync it however you want (its 1 file only).

That looks really good! Can you specify what you mean by 1 file only? And do you think this will be available on Android? Great job on the project, would love to support it!

Thank you! By 1 file means the entire document (filled with your notes) is contained within 1 file. It's a .note file, custom-made, but based on sqlite file format. Currently I have no need to monetize the app (I want to keep it libre and free for this one), but you can contribute by filing bugs and fixing issues on the page https://codeberg.org/solver-orgz/treedome/issues

also there's no plan to put this in android, yet. I still can't imagine how it would end up.

Maybe you could sync the file with Syncthing or Nextcloud. And sqlite is the default android db type... I'm tempted to give it a shot, I just started looking for a solid self hosted note taking thing
