Rnote 0.12 Released with Improved Linux Note-Taking Features

A major new release of Rnote, an open-source app for taking handwritten notes, sketching out ideas and annotating documents and pictures, is out. Rnote 0.12 brings several new features, new customisation and configuration options, user experience buffs, bug fixes, and other lower-level tune-ups. For those unfamiliar with it, Rnote is a digital note-taking app built using GTK4 and Rust. It’s primarily intended to be used with stylus input (so includes pen pressure, stroke styles, button actions, etc) but supports typed text entry, shapes, importing images, etc too. Rnote offers a range of document layouts, from fixed pages to infinite canvases, :sys_more_orange:

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

Infrastructure & Networking

Security & Monitoring

Authentication & Identity Management

  • Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  • LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
    #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

Notifications & Development Workflow

  • Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
  • Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign#DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

  • Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
  • Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

I decided to ditch Tana and go back Logseq.

Although the experience of using Tana is so delightful, it’s in a proprietary format and online-only. It’s really important to me to have my notes in a format that is easily transferable from one app to another, and always on my drive.

I'm thinking a lot about #notetakingapps lately
Like, I wonder which one I should use, how much I should pay for sync, etc.
Another thing is #todolist apps. Theres a lot of good ones out there and as far as I know it's really simple to make a simple todo list "engine."
Like, what if list elements were recursive, like if you completed all tasks in a task the main task is completed? There's so much potential in just a simple idea.
I need to write that down 👀

Wait-

I'm still not out of the rabbit hole of searching for an #OpenSource #PersonalKnowledgeManagement software. 🐰

I'm gonna give a second try to @zettlr tomorrow! Their docs are *surprisingly* user-friendly and they claim to stick to the pure #CommonMark where probable. It's all the while being nice to researchers with citing, inline usage of #TeXLaTeX, #MermaidJS, and pop-over #footnotes. Provision of the simple #PDF export and #Pandoc customization are welcome, too!

But, to be fair, I may be overexaggerating how good #Zettlr is because of my recent disgust with #VendorLocking. In fact, almost anything that closely follows the common spec and is #FreeSoftware might suffice already. Having something as advanced and closer to the roots is certainly refreshing!

Being #ADHD, I collect note taking apps. My favorite was Evernote, but as with all good things tech, it eventually went downhill. The phone app crashed constantly, they limited the number of devices..it just sucked.

I used Google Keep, OneNote, Simplenote, and could
not get my head around Notion. Recently, I found a thread on #beehaw looking for a OneNote replacement. One of the suggestions was #Notesnook.

Holy sheet! It's Evernote, but better! E2E encryption, zero knowledge policy great phone app.....

I. SO. HAPPY.

I read somewhere that it is a good idea to make a pinned post with a bunch of hashtags for stuff one is interested in. Well, here are some, in no particular order

@kadin True! I've not used #Evernote but compared to most #NoteTakingApps, I find #obsidian to be the most flexible and the most optimized for long-form writing. Markdown saved directly on my drive? Fantastic. Customizable keyboard shortcuts galore? Love it. The fact that I can have a personal vault and a work vault with key UI tweaks based on what plugins I need for each context? Unprecedented.

Just gotta remember to spend more time writing and less time playing with plugins 😆
