Zotero seems to be only for Desktop/Mac
mickstar/Zoo-For-Zotero: This is an Android app for viewing Zotero libraries.
https://github.com/mickstar/Zoo-For-ZoteroReally interesting, seems to manage different data type.

I toke a quickly look to website it seems to be very clean and minimal. I'll go to download and try. Thank's a lot!

@timconsidine Nice, Standard Notes looks good but I have little patience for having to work to see or get functionality. I couldn't work out how to just see and try all the so-called extensions.
Why they can't just include everything, give like a 7-day trial, and make it possible to try all those things without jumping through hoops.
So I registered an account, then click to an extension, which takes me to a demo site where I seem to have to enter those registration credentials, which it then says don't work, so I'm thinking that I just put credentials supposed to be for protecting data into a website that I shouldn't have entered them into.
The idea and look of the product looks good - the onboarding process to get anyone trying all that and confident that a significant investment in them is worth the risk, that I don't think I could confidently recommend to friends if the first thing it did was confuse and annoy me. Maybe I'm missing something that others's didn't, but the so-called free version feels like it costs me more time and effort for something that doesn't support markdown, so I don't know what they expect people to do with that.

@marcusquinn I have been using it for what seems like a couple of years, so I have forgotten all that pain.
Things that make it valuable for me :
- markdown
- multiple editors
- including tasks list, don't use it much but handy for TODAY type notes
- mini spreadsheet (without having to load a full Numbers or OfficeSheet app)
- multiple note tags
- publishing articles to listed.io, e.g. drafts for colleagues to review without sharing a file
- easy cross-device syncing
- security
But sorry for leading you down wasted time route !
-
@timconsidine Thanks, it's all good. I sent them an email as feedback, so not wasted time at all, I can see their ambition, I just like to try before I buy and they seem to be missing a few expectations there. I might give it another try when more time as the UI looks well considered.

I've been using HedgeDocs to manage notes. Works surprisingly well on mobile too.

@atrilahiji «The best platform to write and share markdown»: seems to be interesting, I'll take a look to
Many thank's for your advice! -
@p44 Using my nextcloud to do this, with the nextcloud app Carnet
it comes with a nice mobile app that you can connect to your own instance and from there, you basically have an equivalent of Google Keep running -

Oh, last time I tried it on mobile I deemed it unusable, shall have to have another look...

Last I tried that it didn't seem to work very well (or what it that it failed to import from Keep? Can't remember).

For VS code users, I just saw this https://wiki.dendron.so/ . "Dendron is an open-source, local-first, markdown-based, note-taking tool built on top of VSCode."

Great thread!
I stumbled up this today so I figured I would share it here as it can sync using nextcloud and that could prove useful for Cloudron users. You are able to format and view notes differently than joplin. I was impressed with Joplin's web clipper. Joplin's biggest asset is it has a huge following. There are alot of plugins being developed to broaden what you can do with it.

Youtube VideoIt looks like select whether each notwork is local or not. I am not sure if you can do that with joplin. Here is a link to the android app.
