Hello! I’m still not satisfied with my note taking app. I tried dozen of them, read tons of lists on random blogs on the internet, without any success. I’ll try to ask you then.
I’m looking for a note taking app with just this 3 features:
- richtext/WYSIWYG (i don’t want to write plain text and then press a button to see it rendered)
- it has to support CHECKBOXES! Most of the apps I tried does not support them, or supported them only if all the note was a checklist. I don’t want a checklist, I want a note where I can put some checkbox inside!
- FOSS and active
The one I’m currently using is obsidian, but it’s not FOSS and it feels very overcomplicated for a simple note apps.
Any suggestion is welcome!
EDIT: forgot to mention, I’m talking about Android XD
I’m looking for the same thing but with the added difficultly of wanting live collaboration in notes, primarily so I can use it for grocery shopping with my partner, but for other stuff we do together, too. Hedgedoc 2.0 is what I have my eye on the most.
The current Hedgedoc checks boxes 2 and 3 for you, but not box 1. You can check/uncheck checkboxes in view mode, though. I’m at the point now where I don’t really care too much about having a wysiwyg editor for my workflow, but I understand if it’s not what you need.
They have a demo here: https://demo.hedgedoc.org/
The other biggest downside is how 1.x handles navigating to different notes. It uses a “history” page which works alright, but isn’t very organized. 2.0 will include an “explore” page that will be much better.
