With their recent update it seems they are on the last step to making their free version completely useless – are there any good alternatives out there? Preferably something that has a similar android app. I know I could use ssh+vi in a text file, but I’d prefer something a bit more streamlined

    Obsidian. Very simple, all functionality is free, offline, all notes are accessible on your PC, you don’t even need Obsidian to open them because they are in Markdown. Has tons of community plugins for every need, even a Notion-like tables plugin. There is an android app which looks fine but I don’t use it much so I can’t say anything about it. But since all your notes are offline you have to think of ways to sync them. There is a paid Obsidian sync which you dont have to use or you can sync with any other method (manually, github, syncthing, etc…)

    Edit: Oops, just realized the post is in FOSS community and Obsidian doesn’t seem to be open source. Sorry! I’m not going to delete the comment though, maybe it’ll help someone

      This is crucial for me. I have existing sets of notes in Markdown and still want to edit in Vim or other editors, but sometimes in Obsidian too.
