I just checked it out and at first it looked perfect… then I started noticing local features like exports, notebook counts, etc that were paywalled behind a subscription. For an app that is “open source” that really rubs me the wrong way. I may look through the source code later. I have a feeling they’ve tied those features arbitrarily to web services to drive subscriptions, which would be really creepy… though not as creepy as if the code exists locally and is paywalled. sigh
If you self host, all features are free.
Aha, I didn’t realize that was an option.
I see there’s a notesnook-sync-server project. Thanks for pointing that out or I’d have missed it!
No worries, happy to help. 🙂
