I found the UI to be horrendous, and managing tags was very painful. During the time I was paying for the cloud-service, there wasn’t any noticable development of the web-app, so I stopped using it. Mind you, this was pre-pandemic and things might have changed since then.

I’m really fond of readeck. After being dissapointed with Pocket and Wallabag, I went with omnivore until they pulled a skiff. Out of all the FOSS read-it-later solutions - it was a very even tie between Shiori and readeck, and I went with the latter since it supports highlights.

I was also eyeing this, but wanted to use another provider than openAI or ollama. So I’ll wait until that’s implemented.

Never heard of go-proxy, seems like it will fit my needs well as I only use Caddy for rev-proxying.

Thanks for the awesome blog!

I used freshrss for quite some time, but the themes always looked a bit “off” for me. Went to miniflux and its awesome in its minimalism.

Hmm, nocodb is a webapp first and foremost. It does have binaries to run directly on the host, but I’m not entirely sure to recommend this over libreoffice actual app for database management. I believe it would be more in line with OPs requirement.

If you don’t mind clutter free, simple presentations, try hack.md or cryptpad. Both supports markdown styled presentations, both are FOSS cloud applications and the format of the presentation is highly portable.

If you want to get really ambitious, try marp framework for presentations - still markdown but on steroids.

Briar, for communication during internet blackouts or when there is no connectivity at all.

Will keep an eye on this, looks interesting!

Can vouch for kopia, excellent backup tool.

You’re asking excellent and very relevant questions.

OP, take heed.

Tell meore about the obsidian plugin, dusbt know of it.

I don’t see what this have to do with Firefox?

Out of curiosity, have you tries logseq or silverbullet.md? They both have capabilities to query your notes similar to Notion.

I’ve had this challenge with structuring notes-data for a while, but haven’t found something that suits my workflow yet. I have on my list to experiment with a sqlite solution.

I settled on obsidian with the built in sync. The data is as clean as it gets - its very agnostic to the editor as long as it adheres to the markdown standard (plus flavors). I’m aware that I’m creating a dependency on obsidians workflow and plugins, but the cost of switching is very low considering how I use my knowledge base (I could in work case scenario work with my files with standard Unix tools).

You are free to choose whatever tool that works for you, personally I don’t want my notes to be held hostage by a single vendor.

The closest to Anytype is logseq, but silver bullet.md is also awesome. And if you choose another markdown editor, you could use rsync/git/syncthing to synchronize your files.

When it comes to note applications, there is no shortage of them. Just make a informed decision that will serve you well in the long term.

I tried anytype during the alpha, but I understood early on that the data is crippled during export, and the self host node is very cumbersome to set up. Also, I had a gut feeling that it could turn into a enshittified product.

For my usecase, I could achieve my note taking needs by other more established, libre and less complex means.

You can export your data, but its like exporting your onenote data in PDFs. Your notes will lose the built in functionality and relations.

I went with freshRSS and was happy to have a SH alternative, but the UI is abhorrent. Even with ReadYou as a 3rd party app the sync of what was read and not was janky. I went with miniflux and couldn’t be happier. The again, my requirements are very basic.

I recently made a move from FreshRSS to miniflux, and it has a so much more cohesive UI. And its much snappier.

Highly recommend it.
