Yes, I know that the are dozens of notes apps. I'm looking for recommendations based on a few features that I like:

  • nice design (including color coding)
  • easy checklists
  • sharing - this one is key. I use a shared shopping list and we both need to add and edit.
  • pinning and archiving (hidden notes)

I don't mind running it from my homelab server, but that is not a requirement. Does anyone use a notes app that you love? Let me know!

I’m happy with standard notes. Very easy to use and you don’t need to sync files across devices yourself. I’m not sure if it’s possible to share the notes tho.

Fossify Notes is quiet good for note taking and quick check-lists.

You might like Blinko. It seems similar to Keep to me. I set it up for awhile, but it didn't give me anything beyond what I already have with Joplin, so couldn't justify keeping it or transitioning to it. Here's a video from DB Tech on the set up process: Self-host Blinko with docker

Wow, this has some neat features and it looks great on any size screen. I will be following this for sure

Joplin + Syncthing has been great for me. Sync across multiple devices with no third party in between. However the "sharing" in this context is limited to other installations of the entire db. To my knowledge, there's no way to say "sync these notes with my wife, and these others with my phone only" etc.

What benefits do you find in particular that make it better than hosting yourself?

"I WANT ALL THE CLOUD THINGS RIGHT NOW FOR FREE AND I REFUSE TO COMPROMISE 🦶🦶🦶🦶"

That's what these requests read like.

Look, these people have a product with a good UI and sharing for a reason. Anything else you find that doesn't hit that mark is because of that. Make concessions for what you really need, build your own, or continue stomping around about it.
