I love the concept of apple’s in house journal app which allows you to create dated posts that include text, videos, and photos. I hate the idea of writing anything private in a journal hosted by apple as well as the fact that apple could discontinue at any time. Any ideas on a way to achieve something similar in a clean interface (a long word document wouldn’t cut it) without the middle man? A dedicated un-networked device even?

How’s that going, compared to Joplin or Standard Notes ?
i like it, i have been pretty happy with it, but i was also specifically looking for keeping notes in markdown, so ymmv depending on what you want/need. i run it on a docker server i already had, using compose and it has been very stable
Good to know, for such a simple thing, it’s amazing that notes hasn’t found a simple winner.
Logseq! Right now, you can only self host the database and sync it with Syncthing for example, but the dedicated sync feature is currently in beta and will be self hostable afaik.
I just created a vault that I keep in my nextcloud to keep it synced across devices
I’ve tried this in the past, but it didn’t seem like there was an easy way to sync with nextcloud on Android.
Not Nextcloud. livesync is better. Requires CouchDB (Docker available) but with that, its a powerful sync option. Even Settings can be synced
I was using this for awhile but it was clunky and still ran into Conflicts and Data Loss.
Could just skip the hosting step and use Joplin. Has a lot of backends built-in, and encryption support at the app so the contents are encrypted before they leave the device.
Great suggestion in !selfhosted@lemmy.world…
You can easily use it with Nextcloud, to name one example. So yeah, it’s a good suggestion.
I was referring to the “just skip the hosting step” part. You may be right about Joplin but you’re wrong about the suggestion.
Right, I must’ve overlooked that. My bad.
