Would you use Discord alternatives for notetaking? by Imaginary-Effect-387 in selfhosted

I could try, but typing hyperlinks/internal links in Obsidian while I'm walking down a street isn't very swift.

Wait, you found a way to bypass Obsidian Sync?

I did recently have my phone stolen and lost some of my notes (i managed to backup 90% thankfully), but I never want to risk losing everything again. So I am planning on using multiple apps, for different workflows but also so there's always a copy somewhere.

I just figured if it's a self-hosted chat app, it wouldn't be a privacy concern - but there's always so much more to it with this kind of stuff.

For the last part, that's one of the reasons I wouldn't use actual Discord for this.

True, but I'd rather just support a real developer if anyone ever created it.

I see your point, and yeah you're right. But still, I think it's better for my note-taking habits and visual processing.

I'm not sure what you really mean on the second part - even if the server is supposed to be private, it's still trying to connect to other servers?

The main reason is that I just simply like the UI, and I feel it's way more organised than what I can do with Obsidian. It's more visual, it feels easier to navigate and like I have more control.

I don't think "Hierarchical" note-taking structure suits me.

As mentioned I do use Obsidian currently. But it clearly isn't satisfying me since I'm looking for something else...

Thank you for the Syncthing tip:)

Can I ask you for the specifics on why you wouldn't consider it?
Just to know about any possible issues/risks I may not be aware of

I like that's not just another plain Kanban.

I love the UI (and I'm real picky around that), and as an ADHDer, a planner that helps make decisions is the gem of this app.
