i want to move away from using discord as a place to store and organise all kinds of links, text and images. its just come to me how easily i could lose access to it, not just by being offline.

ideally, said program has to:

-work offline

-have android and pc support, especially linux.

-have ability to export data into easily viewable formats

if something satisfies most but not all requirements, please still write about it, it can still be useful.

    How is it freemium?

    It doesn’t cost money unless you want certain features, and it uses a proprietary license.

    You either pay them to “host” your files or you don’t… It’s not FOSS, sure.

    And that’s a dealbreaker for me (the non-FOSS license, not the “pay the devs” part)

      I guess my point is that in your example, Joplin is the same. The feature hidden behind a paywall is for them to host the sync function for you. Both Joplin and Obsidian offer that. Yet you can roll your own method using Syncthing, Nextcloud, etc for either of them. If it’s FOSS or not that’s a deal breaker, I get it. I gave Obsidian a pass in that regard since the file format is so wide open and universal.

      You may want to keep an eye out on these two as well. Both are missing some features now, but have them on their roadmap:

      Acreom

      • not open source yet, but planned
      • no E2EE, but planned
      • can’t self host the mobile app side of things, but the desktop versions work without an account and use markdown file format like Obsidian (and others)

      Notesnook

      • Open source
      • E2EE
      • Can’t self host yet, but on the roadmap. The dev confirmed to me that there would be no fee tacked on for self hosters once released, something that either Standard Notes or Simple Note does (can’t remember which).
