Evernote alternatives? (terefere.eu)

With their recent update it seems they are on the last step to making their free version completely useless – are there any good alternatives out there? Preferably something that has a similar android app. I know I could use ssh+vi in a text file, but I'd prefer something a bit more streamlined

I second Logseq. FOSS, completely local, stores everything in text - works well with Git, lots of plugins - it's almost perfect

I third logseq 😅

Has a (small) learning curve. But powerful once you learn it.

It takes a while to open the first time though.

Yes, It takes it's time indexing the graph - and you have to re-index periodically if you want you queries and graph to be in shape. I have a pretty mature KB, and this process takes no more than a few seconds, so it's fine.

Honestly, I love everything about it, except for the app itself. It ties me to the default editor, which is an Electron-based sluggish resource hog. I'd rather have some software scaffolding to work in an editor of my preference, but that is just me. I suspect most people in most use cases won't find it as problematic.

Yes, in fact I was searching for any CLI/TUI app for editing Logseq's files. I feel a Logseq LSP server might help.

I've been toying with the same idea. Having Logseq running in server mode + creating an LSP adapter should be doable.
