What is the crowd's opinion of GitJournal?

From 3.5 billion comments

I have been using LogSeq and it's the first app I've used that I really like journaling with. There is no mobile app at the moment but it's "coming soon". If you run it as a web app you should be able to use it on mobile but I haven't tried that. You can also make the Obsidian app work with LogSeq data files.

I started porting GitJournal to desktop with go-flutter last weekend. The main blocker is getting the git bindings to work, I'm in the process of replacing libgit2 with a Git implementation written in pure dart.

Mini Update: I've fixed the bug, but I'm going to wait till Monday to make a new release, as the new version contains a lot of new threading code to optimize the git operations, and for the UI to feel snappier.

I want to test out this threading code more thoroughly over the weekend.

Till then, you can try out the dev version from fdroid - https://gitjournal.io/fdroid

I've been working on GitJournal as an alternative mobile client for Obsidian. I'm still working on proper graph support and auto-completion, but it integrates with Git and you can follow your links / back-links.

Some of the features are paid, but if you shoot me a message, I can provide a work-around. I would prefer that you spend your money on food.

> Auto-save to local storage would be nice. I notice my obsession with
sync is the fear of losing notes

I've really tried to make sure that you never lose a note. If you suddenly close GitJournal, it will automatically save the file (but not do a commit). Actually, I think I should periodically save the file as well, just in case GitJournal ever crashes.

Recently switched from using Google Keep to GitJournal https://gitjournal.io/ synced to my private notes repo on GitHub. Editing on Linux using VSCode with note structure is quick while on the phone GitJournal app just works yet has some limitations like inability to move ticked tasks down or add new task at the top (notes mode is fine - just a simple editor).

You can setup your archivy data as a git repo using this plugin.

Then you'll be able to edit the repo locally and pull / push using the plugin.

If you go this route, you can also use GitJournal as a mobile app where you can also edit content.

Another option if anyone's curious: https://gitjournal.io/

I set up my repo from mobile first and use my preferred editors (nvim or typora) on desktop.

Gives you a nice folder of md files perfect for jamstack sites too. Pm me if you wanna know how I do it

>Unlike Obsidian it has built in sync which manages version conflicts and mobile apps.

Obsidian has third party plugins available in the app. I use the Obsidian Git plugin to sync my vault using my selfhosted gitea server. But using Nextcloud to sync also works perfectly fine.

No mobile app is true, but as far as I know it's on the roadmap. Until that is available I am using the GitJournal Android app (also availale for iOS). Works decent enough for editing files on the go.

You can try out GitJournal. It's open source and heavily inspired by Google Keep. It is however missing reminders (not even on the roadmap) and requires a bit of technical knowledge (I'm slowly reducing this). Additionally, you need to pick a Git Host, so you're trading Google for some other provider unless you self host (p2p sharing is on the roadmap)

Other issues -

• Collects Analytics by default and uses Firebase for that - I plan to switch but i haven't found a decent open source alternative, so I have been building my own.

• Mobile Only clients for now - The desktop and web clients won't be available this year. Your notes are however stored as simple files, so you can still access them.

If you decide to try it out, please let know, I'll be happy to help you set it up and it will also be great for me as then I can write more Documentation.
