Comments and Reviews
NotesNook is an overall solid notes keeping app ONLY IF your notes are plain text. For media/file attachment you'll need to upgrade to the paid version. I think its closest competitor would be  [Standard Notes](/software/standard-notes/), they have lots of similarities, but where NotesNook has the edge in its free tier as it supports folder organization; you need to pay for that in Standard Notes. So in general, if you need to have an open-source, email-synced, nice-looking and free text-only notes app: NotesNook is for you.
-The publishing option has a rather messy design compared to Notion -You'll have to pay to export your notes, which is quite cringe-worthy for private notes.
+It works, the desktop app is nice.
it's a really good app, the only con is that free version is too limited, and it's subscription based not a one time purchase
It's the only one that I had found that is end to end encrypted with instant sync (not only back up based) and multiplatform availability.
It's still unstable and has a few bugs, but it's much more powerful than other note-taking software, and it's open-source unlike obsidian or remnote.
Took a quick look and the program seems kind of like a watered down Evernote. And I don't think any program imports web pages as well as Evernote with the browser extension. However, NotesNook may appeal to the more privacy conscious. Evernote premium is SSL encryption to encrypt data while it's being transmitted, and AES-256 encryption for stored data. NotesNook uses more encryption in transmission.
Notesnook dev/promoter seems to be acting smart and gaming AlternativeTo.net's review and vote system. A simple cursory glance shows all glowing 4 and 5 star reviews which are overtly biased in favour of the product. The shorter reviews are banal enough to be identified as zombie account reviews. This is diluting AlternativeTo.net's reputation and trust. Ola? Markus?
What if people who use the product are just happy and want it to be known? The owner has no reason to rig the votes anyway, they tell you themselves, the product is a beta.
