Hello! I’m still not satisfied with my note taking app. I tried dozen of them, read tons of lists on random blogs on the internet, without any success. I’ll try to ask you then.
I’m looking for a note taking app with just this 3 features:
- richtext/WYSIWYG (i don’t want to write plain text and then press a button to see it rendered)
- it has to support CHECKBOXES! Most of the apps I tried does not support them, or supported them only if all the note was a checklist. I don’t want a checklist, I want a note where I can put some checkbox inside!
- FOSS and active
The one I’m currently using is obsidian, but it’s not FOSS and it feels very overcomplicated for a simple note apps.
Any suggestion is welcome!
EDIT: forgot to mention, I’m talking about Android XD
It’s not WYSIWYG, though, it uses markdown (like Lemmy/Reddit). I prefer markdown since I don’t want to fiddle with UI buttons while typing, but it’s not what OP is asking for.
OP, why do you want WYSIWYG (on mobile)? I could see it, maybe, on desktop, but a note taking app should be focused on efficient input, imho, so markdown just makes more sense to me. Triple-# for an h3 is way faster than navigating to a Style menu and clicking Heading 3 in a UI dropdown (or whatever).
Regardless, I like Logseq so much that it’s the first open source project I regularly contribute to financially. It’s a game changer for me and managing my ADHD across 6 devices. (Lots of different work and personal machines/devices).
I would argue that it is as close as you can get to WYSIWYG without being it. Logseq works with blocks, which in most cases are only a line or two long. Every block on the page, except the one you’re actively clicked on /working on are WYSIWYG.
There’s no rendering etc, you just click off the block and you see it
