Forget Notion and Obsidian, this self-hosted note-taking tool is my new favorite

I recently stepped foot into the world of self-hosting, and I haven't looked back since. I've replaced several of my day-to-day apps and software with self-hosted, open-source solutions, and they've mostly been excellent. Of course, some apps that are still in development have certain quirks. But the added privacy and the fact that they're all mostly free of cost make it well worth it. As a part of this routine of finding new open-source apps to self-host, I decided to replace my default note-taking tool -- Google Keep -- with a more privacy-focused alternative. That's when I encountered Memos.
