I've been using Trilium for years and the feature set has grown significantly. It is pretty simple up front but has all the bells and whistles just an extra click or two away. It is entirely free (no up sells, pro tiers, subscriptions, etc - you get it all free, so do support the developer if you can!)
There is a third party android app that works quite well if you need that and the pwa is quite good too.
I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed. it seemed like almost every time I thought trilium was missing a feature, I would find out that it actually has it (or something similar).
The only thing I would say is that if you're a flat file only person, then it isn't for you - it stores the notes in a database -even though they can be easily exported in a directory format.
Trilium Next has 2fa, note encryption and oidc support AFAIK, so the authentication should not be a concern. Every instance retains its own copy of the data and syncs with the server (if you have one) backups are made daily in the back end iirc. Exporting the data is trivial too in both HTML and markdown.
Trilium is an excellent option, however, the original project is no longer maintained. There is a new community fork that is active here: https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes
perfect! This project may help your migration. I'm pretty sure the script is broken currently, but if you tinker with it a bit, perhaps it could speed up your migration: https://github.com/meichthys/onenote-html-export
Currently there are no significant new features (although we do now offer a windows exe installer). The initial stable release was mostly back-end changes intended to make future development easier and more maintainable.
Keep you're eye out though, since there are some new features in the works (2FA, Internationalization, and maybe some mobile improvements).
I can see your point, I should have clarified that I never use an external editor myself to edit the notes, I was just saying that you could do that if you needed to. I only export to Nextcloud so I can view it there just as I would have to save to Nextcloud if I was using Obsidian or some other file-based note-taking app.
I was just posting to get some eyes on the project in case there were some folks who wanted to join the community and help get things rolling even faster.
'🎁 An official backward-compatible TriliumNext Notes release should be available soon!’
And by the way, I do really, really, really like Silver Bullet. It's just that it's not quite as user-friendly for family members and co-workers to use.
Thanks for the clear explanation, that makes sense to me. For me, I just use Trilium for all of the above, so it doesn't affect me, but I could see how it would matter for those using it in the way you are 👍
In a database with the option to export all notes or single notes as markdown.
If you haven't tried Trilium in a while you should. It has improved significantly and has a nice clean new theme.

+1 for the open source option: Trilium The project is being maintained here: https://github.com/TriliumNext/Notes
You can always export all of your notes in markdown format, but the notes are always saved in a database.

Ok, thanks for your feedback!
Glad to hear! Would you mind sharing how you migrated from OneNote? We would like to make that migration path easier for future migrants.

No, but I wish somwone would make a table similar to: https://github.com/meichthys/foss_photo_libraries
TIL! https://www.vocabulary.com/articles/pardon-the-expression/tongue-in-cheek-vs-tongue-and-cheek/
Just one way since I have never found the need to edit the notes in Nextcloud
We actually plan to be able to do this! I am a OneNote convert and was able to convert everything to Trilium with quite minimal formatting issues.
I meant the title as a tounge and cheek reference, but I wasn't obvious about it!
