I just switched from Notion (and Evernote, Google Keep) to Joplin, and currently I'm quite satisfied with its offering.

Some cons I felt while using Notion: - Mandatory to log in using a Google account is a _very_ big pushback for me - I need it to work all the time offline. - E2EE encryption? I don't think it's there. It's something I strongly desire for privacy reason. - It's a freemium subscription modal, I have nothing against it, but imho, completely free one is of course better - It's not open sourced, but Joplin is.

Take a look at Standard Notes. It can be self hosted and has E2EE. It's not quite a replacement for some features but there is a web clipping add-on in development.

Note that it is paid, the company has a longevity statement around that.

Thanks for the suggestion. At this point I'd rather avoid mandatory monthly payments in favor of voluntary donations to FOSS.

I can second Notion! I've switched over from Notability + Google Keep + an overstuffed bookmark folder, and it's been working great to keep my notes/projects/shopping lists together.

I just wish they had an API that I could use.

changing between accounts is a PITA though
