Maybe wallabag (https://www.wallabag.org) though it doesn't provide all the features, evernote has.

I use a git repository with text files and Terminal IDE to git on android.

I started with onenote but it shot my notebook. I never got on with evernote. I tried a number of open source ones but settled on google keep for quick notes and google docs for longer ones. Mainly because they have good sharing and concurrency support and I already use apps because I'm lazy and a cheap ass.

I have a rather shonky python script that exports the docs nightly in case google drive dies. That's good enough for me.

I know this isn't an open source solution but I couldn't find anything that worked consistently well in that area.

Looks cool. I didn't know that project. I can't find any apps so far, but they provide rich API. I'm only sorry that SSL alert appears in their demo page...

I wrote this to scratch my note-taking itch. It's very simple. Online-only.
