I am currently using Trilium for my notes. But I am constantly annoyed by the mobile experience. What I want:

  • sync across devices from a central server (this is why I went with Trilium, as having a web client means there's always the same notes everywhere)

  • native Android app with local storage so that I don't have to log in just for looking up a single note (this is what annoys me most about Trilium, plus the UX on mobile)

  • web version (for use on PC)

I only need very basic markup, markdown support is enough. I don't worry about security, as I run everything inside my own VPN.

Is there something like this out there? I always see people raving about Obsidian, but sync seems to really suck there. Using some folder sync is a no go for me.

This along with a home VPN and you can hit it from anywhere.

Can recommend, works offline and online with PWA support and stores everything in Markdown files for easy migration if you want to change your frontend.

How are you doing offline PWA?

[–] InnerScientist@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It just works™?

Silverbullet supports working offline as a pwa, just click install on the website and you get a shortcut to the web app that you can use online and offline, open it when your online again to sync your changes to the other devices.

I’m running iOS and Tailscale to access it. Doesn’t work offline for me. How does that compare with your setup?

I run wireguard and Android with chrome cause firefox doesn't support pwa. Did you add it to your home screen?

Edit: Also I run release V2

Ok might be an iOS thing compared with android. I’ve tested with safari and Firefox. And yes added PWA of the website to the Home Screen
