  • @mossy_capivara@midwest.social I have a genuine doubt and I swear if you convince me I will pay for Notesnook because I really wanted to pay for it a while ago.

    I used Notesnook for a long time but I used it before they made the basic (unpaid) version more restrictive, where you couldn’t even put a code block without being asked to pay, but before that and after I have used Joplin + Nextcloud and I can say it’s reasonably good but what I don’t like about Joplin is that it doesn’t have background sync, do you happen to know if Notesnook has background sync or if they plan to?

    And another doubt, something I love about Joplin is that I create a notebook and I can create a notebook inside that notebook, but in Notesnook I don’t remember being able to do that and that is something uncomfortable for me. I mean, in my case let’s say I have a notebook called Windows without any notes, it’s just like a base to know where my other notes are organized and inside that notebook I create other notebooks that are where I actually write my notes, for example, I create a notebook called “CLI Programs”, “Open Source Programs”, “Closed Source Programs” and everything is organized in a very comfortable way because inside the Windows notebook I have those other notebooks, and then I create a Linux Notebook and do the same, but in Notesnook I can’t do that, how would you do that for example in Notesnook? I know I could just create a notebook called “Open Source Programs - Linux” and then another one called “Open Source Programs - Windows” but I really feel that would be a mess for the view, what I like about Joplin is that I can sort my notebooks inside others in a tree style. In my case, within “CLI Programs” each note is equivalent to a separate CLI program with its description and images, and I remember I had tried to replicate that in Notesnook by creating a single giant note called “Programs” where I mixed the different categories but it was a disaster honestly.













  • I didn’t mean to make it sound bad, although now that I read it again it sounds bad.

    With “archaic” I wanted to refer to the fact that it is not necessarily the most efficient in my opinion, because for example in the case of Nextcloud, to synchronize my Keepass directory with a directory on my phone I need an external app called FolderSync and there is no “Synchronize when detecting changes” option, every time I make a change I must manually synchronize or wait for a scheduled synchronization to take place, and it is not exactly the most efficient, unlike with Bitwarden/Vaultwarden because synchronization is immediate.

    And I know that in KeepassDX for example I can directly access my database and load it from there, but every time I make a single change when entering Keepass it says that “I lost connection to the file” (Something like that) and I have to go manually and choose the file again, I would prefer to have my passwords always in sync.
