i want to move away from using discord as a place to store and organise all kinds of links, text and images. its just come to me how easily i could lose access to it, not just by being offline.

ideally, said program has to:

-work offline

-have android and pc support, especially linux.

-have ability to export data into easily viewable formats

if something satisfies most but not all requirements, please still write about it, it can still be useful.

    Maybe obsidian? It’s not open source, unfortunately, but

    • works offline
    • has android and linux clients
    • the files are markdown, so you don’t even need to export these
    • the clients render the files so it can look better than plain txt files

      Also wish it was open source, but I do trust it. I tend to run Wireshark initially on all new closed source apps I install and obsidian feels truly trustworthy from my perspective. And the power behind it, while keeping the files super simple, is amazing… Combine it with syncthing and it’s a win!

        I, too, was initially bummed about Obsidian not being open source, but the offline mode and the stylish markdown rendering eventually sold me.

        Plus, I set up SyncThing to sync my notes between my phone, server, and laptop. Now I have all my notes backed up and accessible on all my devices, without anything leaking to a 3rd party.

        There is an open source chinese competitor, which seems quite good, but I always forget the name.
