I’m pleased to announce the release of SilverBullet v2, your next open source, self hosted, and programmable notes application. This release has fewer features than ever. Yes, you read that right. SilverBullet had accumulated a wide, but somewhat incoherent set of features over the years. V2 does away with a lot of them. These include online mode, the special query language and template languages, command links, anchors, space script, space config, attribute extractors, object decorators, liv...
If all you need is a simple note taking app, I recommend Notesnook. It is free and open source and offers E2EE cloud syncing. That is what I used as a Google keep alternative. Silverbullet is good, but may be too feature-full for something as simple as a Keep replacement.

reading the github issues it seems the developers are actively against it? stating that the data is in a database and easy to export that way. but my sqlite-fu is quite poor

If it’s not self hosted, I’m afraid I don’t want to use it. It looks nice, though.
It does look like they’re working on self hosting, which is awesome. Their GitHub says it’s in alpha.
https://www.usememos.com/ is another option that’s super light weight and self hostable.

except from that, i enjoyed using it
That looks really nice! I’m gonna try that out. Thank you. :)
Are there any apps that have similar UI to Keep? I really like the tiled notes as opposed to a simple list
