Joplin. Obsidian is not open source, doesn’t have native self hosting and it gets complicated. Joplin is very simple and just works. Although, it stores the notes in a hashed database, so you can’t edit raw files without Joplin client
Good call on Obsidian not being FOSS! I don't know that.
Trilium for the same reasons, but the featureset of Trilium is more like Obsidian.
Trillium was originally created to be an open source replacement for Roam Research. It's similarities to Obsidian are purely coincidental, probably because Obsidian is designed to be a cross between Roam and Evernote.
Please, I don't want to be rude, so don't take me wrong.
I think that's not accurate. Trillium is not even an outliner, let alone a block note taking app. I think you're mixing trillium with Logseq.
My memory may be failing me, but I think trillium has been around longer than Roam Research.
And yes, it's a great open source note taking app!
Problem with Joplin: The raw files are randomly named so you can't easily find a specific note
That's not even the bigger problem. I found the desktop ui very clunky. There were too many papercuts for me to keep using joplin. However, its TUI and mobile app are excellent.
