So I'm moving away from apple because of all the trump bootlicking Tim Apple is doing.

Anyways, anyone got any self hosted notes app that has a flat file structure?

The most important part is the flat file structure. I want flat files because it makes it a LOT easier to back up than a db.

So any suggestions?

TIA

Logseq. Have used it for years. Sync across devices via syncthing. Since its all markdown files there should be no issues.

Need to restore? Copy files to new location, point the program at the new folder and you're good to go.

oh, I should note (geddit?), it should have an ios app and a macos app/web accessible site.

Does everyone pay for Joplin or is there a way to get it to work for free?

You can use Joplin without Paying. You only need to pay for Joplin Cloud for syncing. But you can use a selfhosted Joplin Server or Webdav to sync you notes without it.

I tried SilverBullet and it was really good and really neat, but not for me. Now I’m using Obsidian, which is easy enough to self host, but the company that makes it is small and indie and I decided to support them with a subscription.

I also switched to Asahi Linux 5 months ago. After decades of being an Apple fan, they are most unappealing these days.

It's worth noting that Obsidian is closed source and proprietary.

Do you think your boy Pichai isn't licking boots? He sat right next to Tim Apple at the inauguration.
