The "storing my notes in some sensible format" is high on my list of features.

Calle can speak more directly to her needs, but for me I have this giant never ending emacs buffer that's a tangle of web links, snippets of text, random "oh cool ansible" one off commands, etc. It's not scalable, it's on one machine and it lacks good meta data around the entries.. what I can do is say "what were all the links I went to two weeks ago?"

Right now I have the equivalent of the pile of somewhat searchable paper two feet high.

I've tried to use confluence at work and that product is a horrendous priece of shit.

It's not open source, but I use Obsidian at work. That said, it stores all the notes as markdown files on disk, so even if the company were to go up in flames, you can still access your notes

Subject: [EXT] [WLUG] Hierarchical note taking, Joplin, Trilium, browser extensions, etc..
 
At last night's meeting, a new attendee brought up a problem she was having and one of the solutions that got bandied about was Joplin.

After doing some research, this might be my new note taking app.
Another very interesting FOSS tool out there is called "Trilium" https://github.com/zadam/trilium

As much as I like google's keep.. I'm fully aware that google capable of just pulling the rug out from under me in a moment's notice.

I've spun up U22.04.3 server and I'm going to tinker with Joplin and possibly Trilium and let people know what I think of them.
