    Actually it uses .md as TLD - my motherland. Another reason to try it out.

      I thought the bigger goal was to break free from the US hegemony as much as anything. If I’m way out of line in this thinking then the mods are free to remove this post.

        I guess so, that breaking free from the US hegemony is one of the goals but the main would be to well buy from European companies and use European solutions.

        I for myself like how versatile Obsidian is, I use it intensively as it’s community plugins are just unrivaled.

    For those who would be interested there is a French alternative

    https://joplinapp.org/

    Joplin is an open source note-taking app. Capture your thoughts and securely access them from any device.

    Multimedia notes

    Images, videos, PDFs and audio files are supported. Create math expressions and diagrams directly from the app. Take photos with the mobile app and save them to a note.

    Work together

    With Joplin Cloud, share your notes with your friends, family or colleagues and collaborate on them.

    You can also publish a note to the internet and share the URL with others.

    Save web pages as notes

    Use the web clipper extension, available on Chrome and Firefox, to save web pages or take screenshots as notes.

    Customise it

    Customise the app with plugins, custom themes and multiple text editors (Rich Text or Markdown). Or create your own scripts and plugins using the Extension API.

    Your notes, everywhere you are

    Access your notes from your computer, phone or tablet by synchronising with various services, including Joplin Cloud, Dropbox and OneDrive. The app is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. A terminal app is also available!

    100% your data

    The app is open source and your notes are saved to an open format, so you’ll always have access to them. Uses End-To-End Encryption (E2EE) to secure your notes and ensure no-one but yourself can access them.

    What do you know that we don’t know 👀. Would love for Canada to join the Union ❤️.

      There’s been a lot of talk/news over at the Europe community about how a lot of Canadians want to join the EU. Not that I think it’s likely, so it was just a little silly joke.
