I was recently looking for something to replace my Evernote, and this was the list of things I have found during my search: - Any text editor + Syncthing https://syncthing.net/ + TagSpaces https://www.tagspaces.org/ - QOwnNotes http://www.qownnotes.org/ - Nimbus Notes https://nimbus.everhelper.me/note.php - Laverna https://laverna.cc/ - Turtl https://turtlapp.com/ - SimpleNote https://simplenote.com/ - Wiz http://www.wiz.cn/ - Google Keep https://keep.google.com - Microsoft OneNote https://www.onenote.com/ - Quiver http://happenapps.com/#quiver - Notation http://getnotation.com/ - FetchNotes http://www.fetchnotes.com/#/ - ResophNotes http://www.resoph.com/ResophNotes/Welcome.html - ConnectedText http://www.connectedtext.com/ - RedNotebook http://rednotebook.sourceforge.net/ - Notebooks http://www.notebooksapp.com/ - KeepNote http://keepno

[Help wanted] Paperwork: OpenSource note-taking and archiving alternative

Hi there! I have been a happy Evernote user for over five years now already, just like many others. With the latest revelations of what security agencies world wide have been doing with the data of millions of people, I began wondering, if Evernote (or any other service, like Microsoft's OneNote, Google's Keep, etc.) might still be suited for storing large amounts of very personal data. And by personal, I mean things like invoices, contracts and even legalised documents. With the search of an open-source Evernote-alternative leading to no result I could live with, I decided to start an opensource project on my own: Paperwork! Paperwork is written in PHP, utilising the beautiful Laravel 4 framework. It provides a modern web UI, built on top of AngularJS & Bootstrap 3, as well as an open RESTful API for third party integration. By now, the

project has already started with the full codebase available at https://github.com/twostairs/paperwork ! On http://demo.paperwork.rocks you can also see the current development status of Paperwork – as long as the master-branch isn't broken and can be deployed. Every night at 3am (CET) the database is being dropped and newly created, and the latest sources from GitHub are being rolled-out on the machine. Now I'm looking for people, who'd like to join in and contribute to the project. Not only PHP developers or front-end ninjas are welcome to help, but also mobile developers (it's always cool to have mobile apps for various platforms, isn't it?) and designers (honestly, they can do way better than I did so far) are very welcome! Check out this first list of issues/planned enhancements that is being maintained on GitHub: https://github.com/twostairs/paperwork/issues – feel free to extend that list with own ideas, btw! Anyway, I hope I could give you people an overview on Paperwork and maybe get one among a few interested in the project. Thank you for your time! :-)
