Evernote alternative

[timconsidine]

@bushido I have been trying Trilium as suggested by @ruihildt

• supports PDF
• on cloudron
• supports sharing (although not tried really)

I found it a little difficult to get my head around initially.
The sample notes tree they have is great with lots of different note types but for some reason overwhelmed me.

It's worth persevering with some UI issues (e.g. you can embed a PDF in a note, but it shows in a small window and initially not obvious how to expand into a readable window, but it's just a click on the PDF title)

I like the charts and canvas, and Mermaid diags looks great although I am new to it so not explored much. But Markdown --> diagram is great concept. Visual but text input makes it quick (lots of diag tools are slow and longwinded)

Only weak point other than time to get use to note structure and UI is lack of native mobile clients. But that can be worked around.

@bushido Yes, particularly well, scroll down the home page for an animated demo of that.
