i want to move away from using discord as a place to store and organise all kinds of links, text and images. its just come to me how easily i could lose access to it, not just by being offline.

ideally, said program has to:

-work offline

-have android and pc support, especially linux.

-have ability to export data into easily viewable formats

if something satisfies most but not all requirements, please still write about it, it can still be useful.

Maybe obsidian? It's not open source, unfortunately, but

works offline
has android and linux clients
the files are markdown, so you don't even need to export these
the clients render the files so it can look better than plain txt files

not being open source is a bit of a bummer but i'll have a look

I, too, was initially bummed about Obsidian not being open source, but the offline mode and the stylish markdown rendering eventually sold me.

Plus, I set up SyncThing to sync my notes between my phone, server, and laptop. Now I have all my notes backed up and accessible on all my devices, without anything leaking to a 3rd party.
