Help yourselves , help me , help us to have the best note taking/task management app !
Hello remarkable people! For years I lived looking for the best ways to take notes: ideas, references of all kinds. All kinds of notebooks until I managed to buy my first Palm top... That was in 2005... Since then, there was a serious problem: devices evolved, programs disappeared, subscription fees were charged and I was left with a truncated backup... No index, nothing... Notes of ideas for me as a designer, screenwriter, creator, after all, they are essential... An entire project comes out of one sentence...
What's all this talk for? I understood that the notes had to be future-proof... I searched and searched. I tested and tested: When I gave up on Logseq I accepted Joplin but only because there was nothing like it and FOSS... It's ugly and truncated but that's what there was.
Until I found what I came to show you and ask you for help. In the recesses of Codeberg, I found Helix Notes in my research, looking almost app by app! Finally something as good as Joplin but much better. And that would finally be my "definitive" app because besides being great, if it can't be used eventually, my data is structured for any other alternative, to even read it on Notepad!
I'm writing out of "self-interest": I really want Helix Notes to prosper for many years to come.
With the help of an AI, I produced a Joplin migration script that worked quite well for me in this version of Helix... It's here.
And its potential to also be a future-proof task app also exists. I wrote this issue. I hope you support in any way possible and if there are any developers here reading, I would really appreciate some help!
