Just wanted to share my experience with notesnook as a daily note taking and information organizer app. The free tier is fairly barebones but you can use it for simple stuff, but I’ll say that the paid $50 per year tier is really nice. I’m surprised at the polish and feature set for a OSS project from 2019 but it’s also really euphoric to find something private, secure, sleek, feature rich, and OSS
I actually have to agree that the price is too high. Yes, Notesnook is competitive. But they’re all way too expensive for my taste. I’m really not happy with any of the solutions I’ve seen recently.
For comparison, I pay for bitwarden. It costs me $10 per year. That’s a price point that I’m more willing to consider.
On some level I agree with you, though I’ve justified it by thinking about it as also a regular yearly contribution to the project that I would otherwise forget about doing while using something FOSS
