![]() I do lack some advanced features that zim wiki would bring, like linkages, some color formatting, styles.but for my workflow i found them not to be ultra necessary anyway. For actually synching and drafting of the text/note files, i have the nextcloud mobile app as well as the nextcloud notes app on my phone ( ).so now i can jot down notes anywhere that i carry my phone. I draft conventional old text files (though i do use markdown).and save the files in a nextcloud folder to enable sync anywhere. My intent was for family (only 3 people) and i to use it.but honestly, most of the time it is only me. I actually have my own little nextcloud instance running on a $5/month digital ocean virtual private server. I have ones for all kinds of things, like interviewing, 1-1s, and architecture design outline. I could also export to Markdown if I ever wanted to migrate. The syntax feels a little strange to me but I rarely need to edit raw files. ![]() But once you get streamlined it just works. Takes a little configuration out of the box to get just right, system dependencies, links opening in right browser, plugins, shortcuts, fonts. Pasting code will be garbled or auto-create tags unless you use the source view plugin or paste verbatim. There are a few quirks I've gotten used to over the years though: Love that it's just text files so I can manually edit them, version control, sync in private cloud service, etc. It's also my GTD system with tasks plugin. I use quick notes and journal shortcuts many times a day to quickly jot down a followup note/idea/question in meetings. Been using it for years for private offline note-taking for work. There are a lot of fancier note taking tools but I keep going back to Zim.
