Another suggestion post (notes) - Lemmy.VG

So I’m moving away from apple because of all the trump bootlicking Tim Apple is doing. Anyways, anyone got any self hosted notes app that has a flat file structure? The most important part is the flat file structure. I want flat files because it makes it a LOT easier to back up than a db. So any suggestions? TIA

Joplin
+1 for Joplin. Sync via webdav-server (nginx, nextcloud) or their sync server. Works like a charm.
I installed joplin, and while it doesn’t have flat file structure, I think this is the way to go. It’s easy enough to create backups through the UI.
Does everyone pay for Joplin or is there a way to get it to work for free?
You can use Joplin without Paying. You only need to pay for Joplin Cloud for syncing. But you can use a selfhosted Joplin Server or Webdav to sync you notes without it.
