i want to move away from using discord as a place to store and organise all kinds of links, text and images. its just come to me how easily i could lose access to it, not just by being offline.
ideally, said program has to:
-work offline
-have android and pc support, especially linux.
-have ability to export data into easily viewable formats
if something satisfies most but not all requirements, please still write about it, it can still be useful.
If you’re comfortable with self hosting, I recommend SilverBullet: it’s a Markdown-based knowledge management solution that runs as a PWA in any modern browser. It automatically syncs to a hosted SilverBullet server during use when you have an internet connection, and otherwise can run completely offline (provided that you use a browser that supports offline PWAs)
this is an amazing obsidian alternative that I haven’t seen recommended yet! I always here about logseq but I don’t like it due to it’s bullet format. And this is just great. I wish they had an electron install option tho, but still pretty great.
Very surprised it won’t work in Safari.
I tested it on iOS Safari with my own hosted instance and it seems to be fine. Is macOS Safari different? Maybe that’d be a good bug to report.
It gave me some issue about indexdb not available. Maybe it was a flag I turned off thinking I was making my phone more secure. Probably something I did.
I’m honestly pretty hopeless when it comes to self hosting
Fair enough, it’s definitely not for everyone. It’s a great learning experience though!
In that case, Joplin and something like Syncthing + Git (so that you remain in control of your data) would fit your need, since in essence you’d just be securely and privately passing around all your notes/files over a decentralized network.
I’ve never seen this before but it looks excellent! I’ll have to spin an instance up to tinker with this weekend!
