        I have packaged this for Cloudron. I have been using the desktop version for sometime and the Cloudron app is the natural extension of the app. Providing a web interface and the full sync capability to and from the desktop app.

        Repo is here

              I did a little research. As far as I can see, it could not handle PDF files. just images. Am I right or did I miss something?

                    @girish I think this app is ready to roll for some more testing if you want to take the package for pushing to the store?

                                @seeker yes, I use it almost daily for capturing my notes during configuration changes / development in different “code languages” to create my own wiki with “how did I do that?” Also lists of frequently used commands etc.

                                    @ruihildt @imc67 Thanks. I do wish it had an android app. I guess I could copy to the Trillium using the web login. I am also considering joplin, which seems more rubust. Did either of you look at that?

                                      @seeker Joplin is the best of the FOSS option IMHO.

                                      Personally, I'm all-in on Ulysses but that's Mac & iOS only, and closed-source and paid if that's an issue.

                                      Otherwise, iA Writer is the best of the cross-platform, offline apps, bunch that I know of.

                                      My main requirement is the .mk files retain their file names and folder structures in a way I can edit with multiple apps as needed, which Joplin doesn't do.

                                      Atom / VS Code and a Git app like Working Copy is another way.

                                        @marcusquinn I see. I can imagine how keeping the file names and folder structure intact would allow you to use any program to manipulate the files.

                                          @ruihildt @imc67 Thanks. I do wish it had an android app. I guess I could copy to the Trillium using the web login. I am also considering joplin, which seems more rubust. Did either of you look at that?

                                          When I started using notes, I wanted to have them as text files in order to have them in a simple format and find the editor that would feel the most natural for my workflow.

                                          I have used Joplin, Typora, Zettlr, FocusWriter. And I settled on Joplin for some time. I think I moved out because of sync issues and also because the interface was a bit too terse for my liking.

                                          I then tried Obsidian.md (and its extension) which blew out all of these, but unfortunately is not free software.

                                          This experience changed my priorities, and I moved to Trilium because as it's not text based, you can use advanced workflow (for example, create everyday a note with the current date, but the best is to check out the demo content from Trilium), have notes appearing in multiple place in a tree structure (which I discovered was important for me) and is super scriptable.

                                          Check out this mad person turning Trilium notes into a CMS: https://wingysam.xyz/posts/tePIFQKUbTQ3

                                          I also hoped there would be an android app, but it's not the case. The mobile version is really usable though, so eventually I'd like to help make it a PWA.
