I really miss using Evernote back in the day, its exactly organized like how I want it.\nBUT, its too expensive for my needs (almost 10USD a month)

What I am looking for is something really simple, I want to take notes and archive them for later reference. This is mostly to act as a second brain for storage of stuff (guidelines, instructions, photos of business cards with contact details etc)

I need a tool that is smart, maybe AI powered, so I can search and find easily what I need (search for text inside images).\nI know Evernote does this but, again... too expensive for the usage I'm aiming for.

Is there anything out there I might have missed? I'm so close to start building my own, but I don't want another side project :P","time":1716833838,"title":"Ask HN: Looking for a simple note taking tool","type":"story"}],[37970391,{"by":"hexmiles","descendants":213,"id":37970391,"kids":[37976047,37979366,37979184,37977076,37977572,37978236,37979910,37976465,37976910,37970898,37977185,37979115,37980188,37977155,37977649,37979510,37977657,37979990,37977808,38000156,37988718,37978017,37977356,37980723,37970841,37977526,37979875,37976651,37970862,37970845,37976951],"score":344,"time":1697922111,"title":"Dave Cutler on Windows [video]","type":"story","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi1Lq79mLeE"}],[37059328,{"by":"flowinho","descendants":38,"id":37059328,"kids":[37062321,37061591,37059363,37063414,37089855,37077087,37062042,37098428,37132778,37066397,37059515,37061414,37063010,37062791,37060628,37076743,37062599,37062097,37100909,37060196],"score":15,"text":"tl;dr: How is your personal / work setup?

Long version: I’m starting to burn out searching for a note system that suites my needs and values.

My values:\n- Privacy and Security\n- Open Source

My needs:\n- Markdown writing\n- Note printing (somewhat beautiful)\n- OS agnostic (i use Linux/iOS)\n- Sync across devices.\n- PDF storage (this is where trust comes in, as some documents contain sensitive info)

My capabilities:\nI run my own VPS, and as a software developer I’m familiar with git, ssh etc.

As always, tradeoffs are acceptable if I get something in return. For example it doesn’t HAVE to be open source software.

I‘m struggling to find something decent, that is not overblown. I don’t need note revision, I don’t need note-linking, I don’t need fancy productivity hacks or calendar-support.

Best wishes from Germany.","time":1691562347,"title":"Ask HN: How do you synchronise your notes?","type":"story"}]]
