No thanks, there's Joplin for an all-in-one solution, or Synching + Mark Text or any other markdown editor, completely free and open source.

#82Looks great, and I wish you luck, but I'd rather pay for a binary+license for major updates, not pay monthly for a lock-in subscription. That, or a large one-time lifetime license like Plex

#83This looks great, but I'm getting very sick of software with recurring monthly fees. I get that it's more profitable for companies, and maybe I'm being a curmudgeon, but what happened to software you could actually buy once and then use forever?
It depends on your expectations - do you assume that the software will be maintained indefinitely with security fixes, bug fixes, features, etc?
Why can't I pay for major versions? V2, V3, V4.. if I don't want V5, fine.. I can move on

#84In recent years, I created a habit of limiting sharing of data. I have a local backups and encrypted backups on my server. Cloud sharing is for limited use-cases with unavoidable scenarios. For the rest, after fighting with Emacs Org-mode I settled to plain markdown with Obsidian.

#85From the features page: > On Supernotes your data is always encrypted in transit (forced SSL) and encrypted at rest (AES-256). Our team will never read or access your note content, unless we have received your express permission during a customer support interaction. Sorry, but the fact that you can read it makes this a no-go for me. Unless a note-taking solution offers end-to-end encryption, I don't consider it a sa…
presumably if you give them permission it includes sending them the content of the note, but if so the wording should change to say that explicitly

#86Earlier quoted context omitted.
I haven't used obsidian, but have been using Logseq [1] (which a lot of people have mentioned to be similar) for over a year now and super happy with it. The data is stored locally as md files, can be versioned using git which is a big plus for me. Also the workflowy-inspired zoomable bullet list is great to have for large outlines. With the built in support for tags, image pasting, tasks, journaling, templates and s…
In the past year I've been on a journey of note-taking / personal knowledgebase: - Trillium Notes [0] - Joplin [1] - others I can't remember - Obsidian [2] - Emacs/org-mode - Logseq [3] - and now back to Obsidian again Logseq was really promising in concept - pulls a lot of cool concepts in from the others and supports org files. But I found it to be incredibly slow and laggy with my existing mixed org/markdown files…
Thanks for the plugin tips.
I also really like Admonition[1] to make styled blocks to format notes. Sliding panes(Andy Matushcak Mode)[2] makes the experience just more natural than windows that need to be resized, etc when switching context.
Found Admonition when learning about Zettelkasten via an efficient video by Artem Kirsanov[3]. Within 17 mins I got the system better than the scary 4 hour overkill vids out there.

#87Not to take a dump on this product in particular but at this point I feel like there are more note-taking apps out there than people willing to pay for a note taking app.
Why does everybody and their dog think that competing with the thing that comes with all my devices for free (Apple Notes, Google Keep) is a great business opportunity? I can’t seem to wrap my mind around this.

I would expect any software to come with security fixes, and bug fixes, even after purchase, even when I don't pay for a recurring fee.

Security and bugfixes generally don't cost that much. Most of the subscription fee is going to go towards new features (and possibly new products).
And cloud operations. We already have our own clouds (Google Drive, iCloud). It shouldn't be necessary to pay for another cloud storage solution if you don't need it.

Neither of those apps do markdown, which I NEED, so I pay for a markdown note app
