Hi I wanted to know if anyone here is using Standard Notes (https://standardnotes.com/) as their daily driver for taking notes.

Is it fully open source (the server and the client)? How well does it work for note-taking?

      To add to this, I have tried Obsidian notes which is super highly recommended by many. I also have tried self hosting Bookstack for logging my notes etc… But every time I tried it, nothing ever matched what I could do with Joplin which was exactly as what other said, rock solid and I have yet to run into any device which can’t handle the client. I will say that the launch time on the one on my machine (Arch Linux) is a bit slow, but after it’s launched, it’s very easy to bring up and use as needed. :)

        What was wrong with obsidian?

        The self hosted live sync plugin has been rock solid between my windows, Linux and android clients.

          I prefer the WYSIWYG get with Joplin and mostly because I’m stuck in my ways!! LOL
          Nothing really wrong with it though, it’s just not for me. :)

        The premise is to enable local-only storage. It’s more secure. Joplin has backends for storing your contents securely elsewhere, and has transaction control, which is the same difference as a WebUI.
