  • I think it’s about time FOSS points out the fact that making software is a lot of work and while it’s cool if some want to do it for free / as a hobby we need projects to be financially sustainable. Sure its nice if government orgs or companies sponsor open source projects but I feel it would be better if the community™ could pay most of the costs. I know thats utopian but I think most people don’t realise how much work goes into all of these projects and (as evident by that graph) a lot of them seem to be up for paying for a good product that doesn’t spy on you.









  • I use Joplin with a selfhosted sync server but tbh I almost never use it on Android because it’s just so cumbersome. Would be up for reccs as well. There’s Nextcloud Notes (no desktop, only browser afaik) and a lot of people seem to be using rabdom Markdown note editors and syncing that with Syncthing but I’ve had bad experiences with that kn the past (stuff not being synced, constant conflicts etc).
