I really like #DayOne as a journaling app. But the fact that my very sensitive info is out there in a server thousands of miles away and subject to a company's policy makes me nervous.
That's why I prefer to journal in #Obsidian because it is local-first

"... local-first aims to bring all the advantages of the cloud—ubiquity, sync, and collaborative working, but without the cloud's problems."

Local-First Computing: Why It’s Time to Get Your Data Out of the Cloud

Everything is in the cloud, but it's not the most secure way to store and share data. Now, there's a movement back toward local-first computing, even though it's a little slower.

@liztai this is why, when I started looking for modern alternatives to #FreePlane for #PersonalKnowledgeManagement , I settled on #Dendron, which takes #LocalFirst seriously.

Unfortunately, their funding model didn't pan out, and they had to stop (regular) development https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/discussions/3890

Then again, Dendron, is #AGPL3 licenced and the data is local, and in Markdown format, and the VSCode extension still works, so this is much better than if it had been proprietary. Which is the point

Development stopped? · dendronhq/dendron · Discussion #3890

Dendron, becoming my favorite tool for note taking but development seems stopped this year. Is this getting abandoned?

@liztai In the end, I went back to #FreePlane since it is #GPL2 and stores it's data in, more-or-less, human readable format that is also #LocalFirst

It may not be as modern as Dendron, but it still gets the job done. ❤️
