I finally found a self-hosted notes app that doesn't feel like work

Poznote is a lightweight, open-source, self-hosted note-taking app that balances simplicity with useful organizational features. It supports rich text formatting, folders, tags, checklists, task lists, Kanban view, and drag-and-drop organization. Setup is straightforward using Docker Compose. The author highlights it as a capable Google Keep alternative that avoids UI clutter while still offering enough flexibility for different workflows.
