My computers run Solus, my phone is on Android, and I think I've tried almost every possible cross-platform note-taking program that is out there. They are all either too bulky (Joplin, Turtl, etc.), or have too many features, or have specific really bad bugs (Simplenote's problems with tags), or don't synchronize.

What I came to for now is:

If you have better ideas for simple, cross-platform and synchronizable note-taking schemes, feel free to share those.

    [deleted] Well I find Joplin perfect-that's because I need bulky note-taking app 🙂
    I need not only notes, but clipped pages, images inside text and so on-it's my external brain 🙂
    So far I haven't installed it on Android, because I don't know how to do Nextcloud self-hostage stuff and I don't really need it-every basic phone comes with basic notepad so I use it for more mundane tasks.

      Emperor I see. I only need the bare minimum for notes, not even markdown.

        Hi ya!

        I'm using Evernote on my Android phone and I sync it on SOLUS with Nix Note as we don't get the original Evernote app via the repo.

        Cross-platform synching is flawless and I don't give a poop about Evernote being bulky or not - I just use the features needed and successfully ignore the rest.

        Have a great Sunday!

        I don't know how well it would work with smartphone apps, but I like Cherrytree, available in the Solus repos. Treepad is also nice, but requires WINE and again, I don't know how well it would work with smartphone apps.

        Emperor OH. You're using privacytools.io ! I love you now xd

        As far as I'm concerned I use Joplin and sometimes Google Doc on my Android

          I use boostnote . Available on software center.

          yumenetwork Happy to see another one 😃
          Normally I use The Hated One tutorials from youtube. Now I expanded to privacy tools.io, but I don't try so hard-there are backdoors in every intel or AMD CPU from the last15 years so...whatever 🙂
          Do you know how I can remove old, duplicating notes in Joplin? I basically re-imported almost the same catalog and the duplicates got deleted, but when I search from notes I got the same thing twice.

            Emperor I don't use it a lot so I can't help you. Sorry...

            Do you know weboas.is (sorry it's not the topic but I have to share it with you xd) ?

            Maybe we should create an off-topic about privacy etc...

              yumenetwork I've never heard of it.
              Well I know we the activists love to share our ideas to everybody in a sense that one size fits all, but we should know that most of them aren't interested and we shouldn't bother them with our problems/ideas.
              It's like telling poor people to not use plastic. Or buy only bio. And even that being said we are not correct 100% of the time...even more so if we were correct even 55% of the time then we should be in Wall Street making millions 😀
              Privacy can generally be found in many websites so this is not the best place to do that.
              Also there are many more important things than privacy-to begin with there is so much other government-related stuff worth attention as well as big companies controlling everything, big pharma, illuminati, New World Order, the changing of old, wise, experienced, moral generation to the new stupid kids brainwashed with Instagram world, fitness bodies, porn, fashion and so on. But most importantly of them all-money...how we could end global hunger, but we didn't. How all money is fake and we are literally giving bankers the ability to make value and money from paper, thus making the bad rich richer(there are many good rich people, but the most rich of them all are very bad people)and giving them control to shape our culture and control our minds. Even the very question if we want to have civilization(because it's not sustainable, we create world we are not created for, we strive for unachievable ideas/goals)...or to said it this way civilization is like a matrix. We have problems searching for meaning, trying to escape other people's bulshit, trying to be good parents or good sex mates, strong people, trying to free time to live our lives, searching what live is really about.
              In that sense although I enjoy shiny new technology, computers and so on I hate them all.
              So the best that we can do is:
              1-Make topic about privacy related to how Solus is placed and how it can be improved-not privacy guides or topics.
              2-Exchange messaging.

              I love Joplin but currently its not available in Software Center !

              I use "qownnotes" available in the Solus repository, just amazing note app IMO.
