[GTALUG] EverNote Alternatives for the Linux User

[Alex Volkov]

I second google keep, but I trust it way more with my data ignoring the
uneasy feeling that it might be exposed.

A linux friendly solution would be to host your own git repository or use
unison -- the problem really starts with android and web-browser friendly
solutions.

For git -- there are plenty of frontend, you can just get a paid github
account, or set up your own gitlab instance.
I'm not aware of any frontends to unison.

Another alternative -- ownCloud. This is probably what you want, but you
need to set up your own PHP webserver, which is a pain. I think they might
have a docker image for that.
I've set it myOwnCloud once, but I wanted to use it under different
circumstances -- desktop sync, for which it was too slow.

I found this after quick googling --
http://alternativeto.net/software/google-keep/?platform=self-hosted

Laverna seems really interesting -- https://laverna.cc/
There's an android app for it -- https://github.com/Laverna/laverna/releases

However the android app doesn't seem to be in the app store.

Alex.
