I'm looking for a good notes taking app to replace The Bad Ones like Evernote.

I want to have the content available over multiple devices (iOS app if possible) and preferably also a web editor.

Any ideas?

I use selfhosted nextcloud instance with notes app installed. On Android I use native Nextcloud Notes.

May I ask what is wrong with Evernote? It's always worked well for me.

I currently use primarily Logseq with a little Obsidian because it’s just a really pleasant text editor and Zettlr for long form writing and research. The nice think about keeping it all Makrdown is that I can use any of them depending on what features/UI I need.

Logseq does have the web editor but it’s more of a demo (it’s literally called demo.logseq.com) but it gives you the full vanilla feature set as long as you connect a local directory. I use Logseq Sync just because I was paying to support the team anyway, and it’s worked very well so far. Just ran into an issue where my laptop with most of my notes broke and so I made a portable version of the app to put on a USB and work on a library computer and it ran and connected to my Logseq Sync remote graph surprisingly seamlessly.

I don't think this satisfies your use cases perfectly but an interesting solution for sure. I prefer note taking in vscode using the patricklee.vsnotes extension. Here's a write up on it at c/vscode. You can commit your note changes to a git repo on github or other elsewhere, giving you access from many different places.

I have manual commands creating notes and symlinked notes dirs and a global gitignore for something similar but I namespace per repo which is much more convenient for me.

Well that's interesting! But I don't write see how that would work. Mind explaining a bit more? Perhaps s little demo with notes from two workspaces?

Something I'm really looking forward to is the ability to self-host Notesnook. I'm currently really happy with the hosted service already and am looking forward to self-hosting it as well.

I know we're in selfhosted, but if you're just looking for an Evernote replacement, OneNote is the OG and really gets the job done.

Personally, I'm just using Simplenote. Just the other day there was this post.
