Are you able to drag & drop to reorder checkbox list items in notes? ๐Ÿ™

SimpleMarkdown doesn't allow for re-ordering checkbox list items.

I already use Tasks.org :) But that's for specific things.

I like writing list of things. Like groceries, and as I write them, I tend to re-organize them. Having the ability to re-order the items easily helps me tremendously.

Tasks.org can't fill that note aspect. Let alone re-ordering a task.

Whoa. This actually works pretty close. Although, I am not seeing the ability to drag and drop re-order list items. Which is the big feature I want and need.

I am seeing in their github issues that CKEditor doesn't support it. Thanks for the suggestion though!

I hear ya. I don't carry a notebook with me, and don't like to fill my pockets. So I appreciate the low tech suggestion, but will have to pass on this!

Thanks! I had tested Notesnook with the official server. It worked the way I want. but it seems their self host server doesn't have that feature. Not obviously tho. Which is really weird, since I'm using the same client app (where I assumed this functionality would live).

Thanks.

I just set up Notesnook lol I can drag and drop reorder list items (checkbox list) on the official server, but not when connected to my own... Same exact mobile app (just different server)... The fact that Notesnook and Standard Notes both claim to be open source, but don't share all of their code with the open source world. Maybe it's gated by env vars. Who knows. I have half a mind to give Obsidian a chance if it can do what I want.

Can't drag and drop to reorder lists. But it looks cool!

Ah good point. I edited my post! Android and Web (nice to have is desktop Linux support). Thank you!

I suppose I should have mentioned more directly, I'd prefer if it's an open source solution.

 

Hey y'all. I've been testing a bunch of Note taking solutions and nothing seems to check off what I want and need.

I want a simple interface (both for list view and note editor/view), preferably similar to Google Keep, but a regular list is fine as well.

Key features:

A. being able to drag and drop re-order checkbox lists.

e.g.

  • [ ] item 1
  • [ ] item 2
  • [x] item 4
  • [x] item 3

I'd like to be able to just drag and drop the above to sort things correctly.

B. E2EE at rest.

C. CTRL+F inside the note view/edit!!

Honestly, the only functionality I truly want is A. But most of the solutions I found are either proprietary or can't do it.

Self hosted options I've tried:

  • Joplin (can't do A; UX is not great)
  • Standard notes (A + C is gated by their self hosted premium subscription; I don't mind paying for my apps, but the prices are ridiculous)
  • Silverbullet.md (can't do A)
  • Quillpad (very similar to Google Keep and can do A, but has terrible file syncing, not E2EE)

Notesnook looks almost as insane as Standard Notes to self host (mimicing AWS stack locally is nuts). Has anyone tried Notesnook yet? I don't want to spend another afternoon setting something heavy up only to find that the feature I want is gated by a heavy $.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Woops! I am looking to use the notes app on both Android and Web/Desktop Linux. Preferably an open source solution.
