Trilium notes are amazing. If you need a self-hosted note taking app, Trilium is a way to go.

Holy fuck thanks for that! 🤙

Time to export everything from Evernote

Holy fuck yes I want this

can you compare it to Joplin?

@coffeeholic I think joplin is more markdown oriented. While markdown can be good, I just like the WYSIWYG more if I want to take notes fast. Also Trilium automatically converts markdown into formatted text, so you can use that for writing.

@lamka02sk Joplin has a view that automatically converts too

@coffeeholic yes, but it is just a view, you can edit only inside the markdown window

But ..... But .... It's electron.
Whatever I guess, let the "RAM-Wars" begin
Or "Game of RAM (it)"

@lamka02sk I really enjoy writing pure MD and taking a look at it in a separate view. Does Trilium has a split view like that?

@coffeeholic nope, but you can write MD which gets automatically converted into formatted text

@lamka02sk does it have a mobile app?

@coffeeholic only for creating new notes, but the responsive version is pretty useful too, basically desktop app

So far Trilium looks pretty good! I'm only just getting into it.

Do we know my Trilium wraps lines in the middle of words? Is there a CSS note or setting to edit somewhere?

Trilium is genuinely good, and its note-cloning/hierarchy model is the one feature I quietly miss in everything else. The tax nobody mentions in these recommendations is that self-hosted notes become a thing you maintain: a container, a backup story you have to actually test, and a small moment of dread every time you upgrade. I ended up splitting mine — something Trilium-shaped for the archive, and a dumb browser thing (notes) with markdown and autosave to local storage for the 90% of notes that live for two days and then die. Turns out most of what I write doesn't deserve infrastructure.
