i use note taking apps to log and search information about marxism-leninism. its a big research topic consisting of decolonization feminist theory history of disability oppression etc. so i want a good note taking application that allows me to log and search this information easily and quickly any suggestions. i currently use tiddlywiki but that has its own syntax and limits. the desktop releases haven’t been updated in a while.
For note taking the current shiny thing that people are using is obsidian: https://obsidian.md/
Otherwise there is org-modes in emacs but it is tough to get into.
while obsidian is great and i use it myself, it is sadly not foss
Wow that blows
not being foss is its only downside though
and on linux you can run it as a flatpak so its decently sandboxed too
As a certified dum dum I’ve never gotten into taking notes so haven’t needed anything like it so far.
i will also recommended obsidian despite it not being foss, but i also can recommend logseq, which is foss
I use Logseq, which is GNU AGPL 3.0 licensed.
Another big + for obsidian.
I use obsidian for research and writing. It’s free but not open source. I would recommend it still because it’s really nice for linking and searching notes.
Silent Notes on F-Droid. Barely talked about, local (no cloud), great encryption, very discrete and great formatting options. My personal pick after shifting away from the bloated and feature-limited Standard Notes.
Standard Notes is the move! I dig it soo much.
Edit: Misread the app name lol
zim is an interesting note taking app if you want to have notes with subnotes and have them organized hierarchically.
Joplin is foss although I haven’t ever really used it myself
