Notesnook is down - potential FOSS alternatives? (midwest.social)

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.

You mention Quillpad, so I assume this is for Android. If so, I went through a similar search after dropping NextCloud. I ended up with GitJournal. The app is nice and has all the features I need. I have it backed with self-hosted Forgejo. If I need to make a note on a desk/laptop, I can clone the repo and use whatever text editor I like since it's all just markdown. I even have vs code server set up for quick notes on the web

Sweet I've been looking for a notes app with git integration!

Couldn't find it on fdroid unfortunately, so I have some digging to do I think.

I found it using the search in Neo Store, but you should be able to add this repo to F-Droid: https://gitjournal.io/fdroid/repo

😮4$ on iPhone VS free on Android +35$ to unlock tags and backlink

Would have loved testing it, if there was a way for free trial 🤷🏻‍♀️ but I will not buy the cat in the bag…

You only need to pay for pro features, which I haven't had the need for

You are on android, I guess
