Game changer!

Factorio cranking up towards 800 hours with the new expansion out. I dread to think how many hours got sunk into WoW over the years…

+1 for notesnook, self hosting coming soon

Along with the suggestions here can also recommend a short hike. There’s also a bunch of short, fulfilling games on itch.io and the developers see more of your cash vs steam, worth considering if you’re so inclined.

I also go through phases like this, particularly in the winter. You could be suffering from depression or if this is a more recent thing as the days get shorter maybe its SAD. Get some sunshine and a SAD lamp and see if that helps. If not, worth talking to a professional like others have suggested. Godspeed fellow gamer!

You’re right! I missed it somehow

I also tried Joplin and while it’s great while using it, there’s no background sync and never will be. That’s a huge pain when you’re mobile and need to get at your notes but have little or no signal.

I’ve been getting on well with notesnook, the self hosting is in beta right now but its just a docker container. Docs are coming for self hosting in the near future.

The criteria for me when I was looking for a notes app were:

• self hosted
• e2e encrypted
• supports images and other rich media as well as text
• can use markdown for text formatting
• supports mobile as well as some desktop interface
• can make lists with checkable boxes
• background sync

Notesnook hits all of these. I wish it had a dedicated desktop app but that’s something I can just use a browser window for.

Goodbye daily life, work and any other responsibility. The factory calls me. It must grow.
