What Evernote alternative are you self hosting?
I'm looking for one myself, but it needs to have a top notch search engine and web capture.
In all honestly, I migrated all my Evernote data to Synology Notes.
I do still use Synology Notes, however, I've also made it a point to separate certain things like receipts (something I used Evernote for) to plain PDF files organized in a file folder structure for better data portability.
Synology global search is pretty great, so it will read inside of PDF documents, and I haven't had any issues with finding large amounts of data when needed.
I do miss Evernote, but I got sick and tired of their constantly increasing prices and making their software worse. And I used Evernote from the very beginning... even got a shirt! But self-hosting, while adding a few extra hoops to jump through to get working, is the best thing ever.
That's the real issue I have with any note taking software is the data portability or lack of. Even Synology Notes will be a challenge to migrate away from (if I ever do), so anything that doesn't need to go there gets put somewhere else! But Notes has been seamless to use and "just works" for my needs.
