I was really looking for a stellar notes application that can do the following:

• Ability to add a fuck ton of notes. I need notes in folders and subfolders.
• A simple and intuitive text editor. I want to make the text bold if needed, add code blocks if I want to, tables, change font type and color, sizes. align it, etc. But do that with buttons. Me->Click! Markdown is really great, but I need something on top of that else I end up with complicated notes formatting. You see, I am at times writing code, other times simple notes, at times make lists, and so forth. SO MANY KIDS OF NOTES :)
• Speaking of that, adding a to-do list that I can tick as "done" is also useful for me. This done, this not, this done, this...
• Add images/videos inside notes.
• Complex when needed: to be able to format the code style according to the code type (like CSS needs to look different from PHP and so forth).
• To be fast.
• To be able to sync across different devices if needed. From mobile to tablet and desktop.
• A global search.
• Sort notes based on several criteria such as the date modified and so forth.
• Spellchecker integrated.

And now I may have found it. It is Standard Notes. And I knew about it for a year or so now, but two things put me off:

a. at first glance looks a bit messy.

b. to unlock the awesome features you have to pay...

So it was a big NO for me. But because Yunohost had it packaged I decided to try it for trom.tf. And after install you get an email that teaches you, in simple steps, how to enable all of the cool features for free. Super easy. And after I enabled just a few extensions such as a few text editors (Plus Editor that I use for most notes + Code editor that's perfect for coding + Markdown for when needed) + a few themes, now it looks super duper cool and not messy:

It is so great that you can choose whatever editor you want for each individual note and it remembers that. Because for someone like me this is a must.

SO this Standard Notes ticks all of the above except point 4. For now you cannot add videos/photos directly to the notes but it is something they work on. You can add links tho and embed images from other sources.

So yah I love it really and the fact that is fully encrypted + works offline and only syncs online via the desktop app on Linux or Android (has an app for all OSes), it is really great. Auto backups daily locally...plus in the cloud....what else you want!? History of editing? Has it. Also lock notes, share them, etc..

And anyone can use it thanks to trom.tf ;). Either use it online at notes.trom.tf/ and customize it as you want. Or install any of the apps for any OS standardnotes.com/ and login with the account you just created at notes.trom.tf. Remember in the advance when login, to add our syncing server: notesync.trom.tf.

I will make a special page for it like I did for videos.trom.tf and a few other, to explain it.....soonish...

But yah. Super fucking happy with this Notes app. Trust me I tried hundreds of Notes app for the past years. THis one so far is the best. #tromlive
