I've been trying to retain / sync / archive / etc my electronic notes since the mid 1990's - starting with one of the early Palm models. It's always been a fraught experience, especially if you're relying on someone else's algorithms to give you peace of mind. The most recent experiments were using Evernote, later Nixnote (because Evernote didn't care about anyone using free software operating systems) I've now moved…
I hope they stick around.
very sweet design for your blog post, if OP is the owner — even leaner than Medium!
Not so difficult nowadays.

Have you tried Syncthing? [1] An open source alternative to Dropbox. [1] https://syncthing.net/
I use a combination of Unison(-gtk) and Foldersync (android) to replicate some quite large data sets between desktop, server, a couple of laptops, and tablet & phone. Keybase and Synthing are definitely on the list of potential replacements for the manual, periodic sync.
How does Syncthing go insofar as replacing a note-taking system (tagging, collaboration, etc)?
It is the one feature that impressed me (searchable hand written notes, etc.), but that was years ago.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Syncthing’s purpose is to ensure that a specific directory remain synchronized across multiple computers and/or mobile devices. It accomplishes this goal with the minimum of fuss, and (in my experience) works better than Dropbox in that it burns fewer CPU cycles and doesn’t crash/hang/nag me to upgrade.
Mac only of course.
Personallly, as a early Evernote User, once One Note came out for Mac, I switched. And then getting a job somewhere where we used Windows PCs, just solidified it for me, and I never found the need to go back.
Am I the only one just using the stock MacOs Notes and Reminders? Does the trick for me. Never lost a thing. Does pictures and text and has basic grouping. Mac only of course.
