GitLab is working on federation last I checked.

I know you said you’ve ruled out Onyx, but I just purchased the Boox Palma, and I really can’t complain about the quality of the device. It’s light years ahead of anything by Kobo, which I was considering.

I didn’t realize that Onyx is a GPL violator until after I purchased the device, but they really engineered an awesome little solution otherwise. Conflicts of interest are hard. :-(

In this case, a good pubic education.

I also recommend Joplin - I’ve moved my entire journal over to Joplin and use it as a primary note source now.

The mobile app UX is its weakness, but is fully functional.
