Hi I wanted to know if anyone here is using Standard Notes (https://standardnotes.com/) as their daily driver for taking notes.
Is it fully open source (the server and the client)? How well does it work for note-taking?

I looked at it and did some reading of others experiences, and it looked like a huge pain. I opted for Joplin and haven’t looked back. I self host Joplin server for sync via docker and it’s rock solid.
I love that the client is available on any platform. Is the client a little ugly, and clunky? Yes, but for me it’s not so ugly and clunky that I’ll give up a fully open source self hosted e2ee notes solution.
I’ve been self hosting Joplin in some form for something like six years. Once a year or so I scope out the other options and as of yet I haven’t found another notes solution that I’m willing to switch to.
Joplin is a better way to go.
Too bad the UI sucks and it doesn’t have a WebUI.
The premise is to enable local-only storage. It’s more secure. Joplin has backends for storing your contents securely elsewhere, and has transaction control, which is the same difference as a WebUI.
To add to this, I have tried Obsidian notes which is super highly recommended by many. I also have tried self hosting Bookstack for logging my notes etc… But every time I tried it, nothing ever matched what I could do with Joplin which was exactly as what other said, rock solid and I have yet to run into any device which can’t handle the client. I will say that the launch time on the one on my machine (Arch Linux) is a bit slow, but after it’s launched, it’s very easy to bring up and use as needed. :)
I remember hosting server option was somehow paid.
That’s somewhat my reason for I decided to go with Joplin
