I was using Evernote for a while, until I realised that I was using it
primarily to save bookmarks from my phone and changes had made that no longer a
good option. I seem to remember it was no longer saving the link but taking a
snapshot or something, and getting them out was a pain. Data was going in but
never coming out, and my other notes were getting lost in the mix. Migrating
was a nightmare; which happened when they changed some terms and conditions
iirc.
Anyway, I now use Joplin which uses markup and stores the data in Dropbox
(currently, I'll be moving Nextcloud soon). That means I can sync with my
desktop; I'm using an Appimage on the desktop...
...and thanks to this post I've finally got round to both configuring it and
migrating my data to Nextcloud from Dropbox. On the other hand, I have also
realised why I haven't already done it, which means my phone and desktop are
currently at odds!
My Nextcloud instance moved to a temporary home on a Raspberry Pi (Nextcloud
Box) and is still there. This leaves me slightly restricted in terms of adding
an https certificate. It does support Let'sEncrypt, but only if I open up a
port forward to my Pi to authenticate, which I don't want to do. Self signed
certificates are not handled well on many Android apps (they don't allow
override easily, or keep wanting to to confirm the override - sensible security
measures no doubt). I'm assuming that is why I can't connect on the Android
app; the desktop version has a nice checkbox to ignore certificate issues.
Anyhoo, my strange issues apart, Joplin is probably worth a look.
