Is there a self hosted web based note app similar to Obsidian or Joplin? I've tried Trilium and its ether above my pay grade in terms of knowledge, or I've set it up wrong. I'm mostly looking for something that has support for folders or a tree structure, markdown or simple text based and all accessible buy web browser.

I've gone from using Joplin, to Obsidian, I love both but am tired of waiting for sync before accessing my notes on different devices.

Outline, Trillium, and silverbullet are some alternatives I've seen recommended in threads along with Joplin and Obsidian.

I personally run a dokuwiki (with a markdown plugin) and that's enough for me, call me old school if you must.

+1 to Trillium. I looked long and hard on this before settling on obsidian with the livesync plugin.

My personal gotcha with Trillium was that it required sqlite over something like postgres and that web based editors was less important to me.
