I’m currently using a self hosted instance of XWiki on my NAS to write down long term notes just for myself. But it runs very slow with the database and limited hardware ressources. And since I only access it from my Windows PC on my LAN I figured I’d just need an application that does the same job and save the files on my NAS.
So does anyboy know a good Open Source application for Windows that can be used like that? It needs features like these:
- WYSIWYG editor
- tables
- font colors
- font highlights
- text code
- headings
- embed images
- embed YouTube links
- (un-)ordered lists
- bold text
- underlined text
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Added WYSIWYG editor to the list.
I’m a big fan of Obsidian. It’s not open source, but it’s free forever and has a rich theming and plugin ecosystem, and it works on just regular markdown files in folders so you’re not locked in by proprietary file formats or anything, you can switch to basically anything that edits text and lose nothing. There’s paid sync and publish features, but because it’s just ordinary text files, you can replicate those for free with OneDrive and Jekyll, or your favourite tools of similar function.
