Comment on Help finding a new notes app
baatliwala@lemmy.world 3 months agoObsidian is one of those applications I sooo want to install because everyone loves it, but to me if I’m going through the pain of selfhosting I want to go FOSS only. Argh!

The thing I most appreciate about Obsidian is, for now at least, they at least partially embrace a sort of FOSS mindset in that they offer a proprietary thing via a sort of compromise: your data is stored in plain text in markdown, so it remains 100% portable and parseable by anything which can parse markdown.
But I get what you mean.

I’ve been trying it, but the outrageous cost to sync across devices is really annoying.

Via their Sync service, yes. If you’re in the Apple ecosystem, they officially endorse iCloud to sync your files, which I personally use. They discourage using Dropbox, but I reckon it’s possible.

I’m on Android and I’ve been experimenting with an App called FolderSync and Google Drive.
