I’ve no problem with using LibreOffice for most of my document needs, but i haven’t found a good substitute for microsoft’s OneNote yet. I mainly use it to plan my RPG games and it helps a lot. What alternatives are there for organizing notes on linux, with similar features to those that OneNote provides?
Joplin also uses markdown, and it has the advantage of being open source.
…in a database file. That and the awful android app had me look elsewhere. Too bad really, FOSS and self host options with it are great.
What’s wrong with the android app? I haven’t had any issues with it
I use checklists/task lists a lot. The way the app handles those are completely backwards. Checkbox is auto put in the title of the list but when you tap in the body of the list, it doesn’t. And the rendered view of your Todo list is very small with no way to change the font size. You can change the editor font size, but not on the rendered output.
I also don’t like to be required to put a title in at the start of any document. Other apps either name it ‘untitled’ or date/time it was created. This causes friction and if I can’t get my thought down quick, I may lose it.
That plus the whole markdown in a db file killed it for me.
Are you sure you are talking about Obsidian here? I can change the font size for both the editor and reader views, the default note name is ‘Untitled’ and markdown files are stored in plaintext.
I assumed you were asking what was wrong with the Joplin app, since that is what I was referring to in my post about awful android app. I use and love Obsidian on Linux, MacOS, and Android (tablet and phone). The only thing I don’t like about it along the lines of my original reply to you is that task lists and to-dos aren’t very easy or intuitive from Android. It’s doable, but kinda clunky. So for that type of scenario I’m using Quillpad.
But no, Obsidian app on Android is great. Joplin…nope. :)
Oh sorry, I misread that. Thanks for the clarification!
