ErraticDragon@kbin.socialtoFree and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Looking for OneNote Alternative

1 year agoI switched to Obsidian not too long ago.
For my needs, Joplin was a good open source alternative.
Between the two I went with Obsidian because, while the apps are closed-source, the data is accessible. All your notes are just stored in plaintext (with markdown) as simple files in a directory structure.
Joplin, in contrast, uses a SQLite database which adds a layer of complexity.
I use Unexpected Keyboard when I’m working in Termux. It’s Open Source and does allow some layout customization.
Unfortunately it doesn’t support “glide/swipe typing” so I find it doesn’t replace Gboard for everyday usage.
