"The past is obdurate."

This concept is narritively explored in Stephen King's "11/22/63" if anyone finds this interesting.

The novel is an entertaining read and the audiobook available on the Libby app (requires a local library card here in the US) is high quality.


There's also a James Franco mini series based on the book, which is alright albeit a bit slow moving.


There are factors at play other than supply and demand


It sounds like what you're looking for is Notion. It checks most of your boxes, I believe.


I just switched from Notion (and Evernote, Google Keep) to Joplin, and currently I'm quite satisfied with its offering.

Some cons I felt while using Notion: - Mandatory to log in using a Google account is a _very_ big pushback for me - I need it to work all the time offline. - E2EE encryption? I don't think it's there. It's something I strongly desire for privacy reason. - It's a freemium subscription modal, I have nothing against it, but imho, completely free one is of course better - It's not open sourced, but Joplin is.


Take a look at Standard Notes. It can be self hosted and has E2EE. It's not quite a replacement for some features but there is a web clipping add-on in development.

Note that it is paid, the company has a longevity statement around that.


Thanks for the suggestion. At this point I'd rather avoid mandatory monthly payments in favor of voluntary donations to FOSS.


I can second Notion! I've switched over from Notability + Google Keep + an overstuffed bookmark folder, and it's been working great to keep my notes/projects/shopping lists together.

I just wish they had an API that I could use.


changing between accounts is a PITA though


I haven't read or heard of these but they sound interesting. I'd like to hear what you have to say about them
