Up to now I’ve been using Simplenote, which has a Linux client (but also Android & iOS) & supports live collaboration on notes. However, Simplenote hasn’t had a meaningful update for a long time, & it’s recently been behaving strangely, e.g. notes undeleting themselves, line duplications & undeletions.

Can anyone recommend an alternative? Spinning up an ownCloud/nextcloud instance just to use Joplin feels a little overkill. I stumbled across turtl, but the project looks abandoned.

  • Joplin + Syncthing is great, as other people suggested.
    I keep it even more simple: I write stuff in markdown, share my .md files with Syncthing and edit them with markdown editors.
    The best I’ve tried so far for Android is Markor, while on Linux I either use Ghostwriter (on KDE) or Marker (on Gnome)
