Notes taking app (waste-of.space)

I'm looking for a good notes taking app to replace The Bad Ones like Evernote.

I want to have the content available over multiple devices (iOS app if possible) and preferably also a web editor.

Any ideas?

Obsidian is great except for the times when you can’t sync your notes to a local file system (like on a work computer). Does anyone know of a self-hosted web app that’s effective for reading/editing the markdown files?

    Have you tried Remote Save plugin?

    I use it to sync from a webdav on my NAS at home to work computer if I ever need it. It also syncs from services like OneDrive, Dropbox, S3 etc.

    There are other versions of similar syncing.

    Does this work similar to Syncthing where it syncs the markdown files to the local file system? If so, that’s definitely helpful, but I’m trying to avoid saving/storing my personal notes on my work laptop. I’d rather access them through a web interface and avoid local storage (in certain use cases). Another example is where people can’t install custom software on work computers, so it’s helpful to have a non-Obsidian way to edit the files for those times.

    Not being able to install local apps is a valid issue. But if you are really concerned about a work laptop, I wouldn't trust something just because it's web based. Depending on the company, they can access that data if they really wanted to just alomst as easily as a file on disk.

    It just stores them to the folder you choose as a vault for your notes. I have seen people put their vaults on a USB stick which they encrypt for security.

    No web version of Obsidian as far as I know. Have you tried SimpleNote?

    I host a copy of Obsidian on my server, and I can access it through a reverse proxy. There isn't any authentication though, so you have to use something like Authelia.
