Notesnook has been down for about a day, consistent crashes despite deleting it and reinstalling. I don’t seem to be the only one as evidenced by the users voicing this concern on their Github page.

So, while imagining Notesnook will never get back up, what would be some alternatives to it? I’ve tried out Joplin, Quillpad, and Notally in the past, but none really stuck with me. I don’t use Nextcloud either. From what I’ve heard, many seem happy with Standard Notes and Markor. Anything y’all can vouch for?

Looking for an alternative that gets as close to Notesnook as possible, without a subscription model.

      Personally I like Joplin (I even sponsor it on GitHub) but I’m left feeling as if the UI is unpolished and the navigation on the mobile app (Android) feels janky (ie: sliding from left to right doesn’t always show the sidebar when I want it, etc.)

      It is very close to what I exactly want in a note-taking app though.

        Have to agree with this. I’d love to use it and support what they’re doing. But the mobile client is bad. I also hate that the note files, stored in markdown format, are modified. The file names are not human readable and the contents are appended with metadata.

          One of my gripe as well, I wish the filenames were human-readable too on the local device, and of course with the filename encrypted along with the content on the sync target.
