Common database format for FOSS note apps #11

Open serrq opened 4 weeks ago

serrq commented 4 weeks ago

I propose a common database format between foss note taking apps.

The reason is freedom. An user can migrate from an app to another one smoothly and freely.

A similar case it happens with .kbdx database in Keepass apps family. Same database format, multiple platforms.

For something unencrypted I'd just save it as plain Markdown files on the device. It's easy to sync with cloud services and should be viewable on any device, even wirhout a deticated app for it. (Normal text editors can also open it)

Just to be clear "common" doesn't mean "unsafe". .kbdx database is encrypted and it is common between all the keepass apps.
