  code editors might have the features you want, and its easy to repurpose a code editor into a notes app.

  sync a folder between your devices (syncthing is great for this) and put markdown text files in it. I like to call this folder “Memo” since its like writing letters to myself.

  edit the markdown using VS Code (desktop) or Carbon (android). I haven’t tested whether Carbon can do this, but I know in VS Code, you can reorder a list with keyboard shortcuts.

  click anywhere on a line of text, then hold Alt and press Up arrow, and the text will swap places with the line above it.

  “personal” and “trustless” seem sort of at odds here. you want personal data, so you want personal storage.

  what I recommend, if you have the time and energy, is to find another self-hoster you trust and be “backup buddies” with them. set up remote file storage on both your networks and send your backups to the other person’s server.

  if you can’t find another self-hoster, then find a friend or family member you trust and mail them your backups on a physical disk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Debian Stable] Which Static Blog Generator: blag, Jekyll, Hugo, Lektor, Pelican, staticsite?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  11ty is my favorite! cross-platform, good defaults, built-in tag support, and just generally good site building tools.

  My favorite static site generator by far is Eleventy, which you can learn by reading their sample code at eleventy-base-blog. It uses NodeJS which runs on all major platforms, and it generates plain old HTML that you can put on any static host. I played with several of the generators on the Jamstack list, and decided that this is the one I’m most comfortable recommending. It has a very high power-to-effort ratio, you can do some really useful stuff with very little knowledge. I’m using it on my personal site, nycki.net, to automatically generate a “navbar” on every page, plus an RSS feed for my blog. It’s also nice for generating “prev/next” links under articles.
