So maybe Nextcloud is out.

If you want, have a look at the Logseq website, then just give it a spun and play around for a bit. There's a mobile app as well, but I suggest starting on desktop.

Once you get a little feel for the UI, then watch the small bite-sized course videos I shared, play along with the basics, and have fun with it for a week...see if it speaks to you. It's free and open source, so no harm, no foul.

When you open it up, it looks like a minimalist note taking app!

The cool thing about Logseq is It's as minimalist simple, basic and clutter-free, and also as powerful as you want to make it. The basics are only the beginning. There's a beast under the hood when and if you're ready to watch more of the videos and move beyond basic navigation.

The plugin area is awesome; there's a ton of added functionality via plugins you can add, from GPT-3 to visualizing your notes as mindmaps, Kanban, and over 360 more if I recall correctly. 

 Forgot to mention, there's a live demo on the website homepage :) 

 Sweet! I may do this. Sounds cool and I wanna align my actions with my value system so open source makes this attractive. 

Though, I just drove back into Notion, where I'd purchased a template a couple of years ago and trying to integrate that I my life... Revising and contemplating if I wanna give it another go...  We shall see. 

The try it for a week idea is great!
