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?

      This is where I’ve landed too.

      • self hosting is dead simple.
        • so no syncing to be done across devices.
      • posts are saved as plain text files (in markdown).
        • so you can do what you need with them.
      • supports multi users, SSO, cloudflare R2 for storage if you need those things.

        As a Logseq user, that looks pretty much like what I wanted it to be. Lean, self hostable, no weird feature bloat. I’ll take a closer look!

          I used logseq for about 6 months before I found Memos. LS was just always getting in my way. Memos just works, for me.
