I am currently using Trilium for my notes. But I am constantly annoyed by the mobile experience. What I want:
-
sync across devices from a central server (this is why I went with Trilium, as having a web client means there’s always the same notes everywhere)
-
native Android app with local storage so that I don’t have to log in just for looking up a single note (this is what annoys me most about Trilium, plus the UX on mobile)
-
web version (for use on PC)
I only need very basic markup, markdown support is enough. I don’t worry about security, as I run everything inside my own VPN.
Is there something like this out there? I always see people raving about Obsidian, but sync seems to really suck there. Using some folder sync is a no go for me.
I have a Nextcloud instance, which I don’t use much because the native apps are janky as fuck. I tried the notes app just now and it just won’t even let me connect to my account. That’s a level of bullshit I don’t have the energy to deal with. Which is sad, because it would be nice to use something I already have.
Oh, that’s a shame. Maybe need to see why?
I have the notes, files and news apps all connected just fine.
If it’s over your VPN, does your phone now how to find nextcloud?
In general, yes. The main app works fine. But when I try to connect the notes app to my account, it just crashes and loops back.
Edit: Nevermind, I fixed it. Works fine now and looks to be exactly what I need. It was also trivial to import all my Trilium notes.
Oh, iOS or Android?
