Notesnook: Open-source, encrypted, local-first note taking app

I kinda like it, but have a few notes (got it?) about it.

It should never ever connect to anything without the user asks for it. That is the only way it is really private.

But since it is a electron app, it will always contact Google everytime you open the app. All electron apps do that, no control about it. Privacy zero.

It still connects to notesnook site and that compared with telling Google you're using the app, it not that serious.

I've been using it most of this year, it's been really handy. I do wish there was a better way to manage attachments. Right now if you attach an image or document to a note, there's no easy way to download it, at least from the android app. You can select the image and get details, but no save/dl option.

I'd also love a way to see attachments on a note in a list, with download options. I have several notes with multiple docs attached, and I would like the option of downloading them all at once.

I also wish they took feedback directly. The last time I checked, they ha

Joplin has met this criteria for me over the past year, but I'm willing to give Notesnook a try. Looks like it's web app is better supported then Joplin's, at least for self-hosters. I'm not sure how this handles encryption but I do like how Joplin does it, where you can share notebooks with each with a unique decryption secret.

Incredible job! Keep up the great work akyuu!
