Hi.
I’m curently using Nextcloud notes for its convenience. I use the app on my phone, and the webui on my pc.
I’m willing to ditch Nextcloud as a whole, so I want to replace my note taking habits.
I’ve tried Trilium, which lacks an Android app, and I feel the WPA makes the UI unpractical and hard to read.
I’ve tried Joplin, but it lacks a webui.
Are there other alternatives I’ve missed out ?
Solution: I ended up finding Flatnotes. It’s dead simple to run and to use, has markdown and WYSIWYG, and the WPA is flawless.
Most guides are for the initial setup, so if you are not starting from scratch, YMMV.
This is the one that put me on the right track, but it's for older version of Ubuntu, so it's not exact step-by-step because it's old.

A more updated guide to the same basic setup, but i've never used it so I can't vouch for whether it is accurate:
https://www.knthost.com/nextcloud/nextcloud-memory-caching-with-apcu-and-redis
(edit: I just checked and it is accurate, but it just hand-waves away the redis setup. which is not insignificant)
Here is the NC docs page.

Note: If you are short on RAM or want the simpler version for home/lan use, you can just set up APCu and get a decent performance boost. I got better performance with both: APCu for file locking along with redis for memcaching. But setting up both will be a bit more complicated to setup and maintain.
Six months ago, I was exactly where you are, but updating host OS, then updating Nextcloud to 27, and setting up memcaching worked great for me. Get everything updated before doing the setup, though, or you'll break shit and have to troubleshoot.
Thank you so much
