I love the concept of apple’s in house journal app which allows you to create dated posts that include text, videos, and photos. I hate the idea of writing anything private in a journal hosted by apple as well as the fact that apple could discontinue at any time. Any ideas on a way to achieve something similar in a clean interface (a long word document wouldn’t cut it) without the middle man? A dedicated un-networked device even?
i like it, i have been pretty happy with it, but i was also specifically looking for keeping notes in markdown, so ymmv depending on what you want/need. i run it on a docker server i already had, using compose and it has been very stable
Logseq! Right now, you can only self host the database and sync it with Syncthing for example, but the dedicated sync feature is currently in beta and will be self hostable afaik.
Could just skip the hosting step and use Joplin. Has a lot of backends built-in, and encryption support at the app so the contents are encrypted before they leave the device.
Great suggestion in !selfhosted@lemmy.world…
You can easily use it with Nextcloud, to name one example. So yeah, it’s a good suggestion.
I was referring to the “just skip the hosting step” part. You may be right about Joplin but you’re wrong about the suggestion.
This is where I’ve landed too.
- self hosting is dead simple.
- so no syncing to be done across devices.
- posts are saved as plain text files (in markdown).
- so you can do what you need with them.
- supports multi users, SSO, cloudflare R2 for storage if you need those things.
As a Logseq user, that looks pretty much like what I wanted it to be. Lean, self hostable, no weird feature bloat. I’ll take a closer look!
