Official GOS App suggestion "Notes"

Graphene1

I use Notesnook. Tried them all and I stuck to this one. Very close second for me was Obsidian although that seemed to do more than I needed

Dang, time for me to pop some tabs open and look into some of these. I was only aware of two apps for this task: Markor and Fossify Notes.

Killjoy I believe that's proprietary. Not saying that's necessarily dangerous, but it may not be suitable for some threat models.

I stand corrected.

noob question about this app, because I was pretty ready to use it: the signing hash that AppVerifier reads from the Accrescent EasyNotes doesn't match anything on the Github (nothing on there in that colon format), and the Github-downloaded version (with Obtainium) shows up with a different signing hash that AppVerifier rejects. What's one to make of this?
It is indeed the same app (I pulled the Github link from the info in the Accrescent version of the app, and it matches the one shared here)

On my PC I use nvim with a directoiry and .md files. I sync that one via my nextcloud instance, so I was looking for an app that could do exactly that, read and edit my nextcloud directory with my markdown files.
Only one app could do that: Quillpad. But the sync feature doesn't work right for me, so I went a more extreme way: I just open termux und edit with nvim. Like on my pc. Same plugins and all. I sync those notes from my phone via syncthing then.

I use NotallyX from F Droid. Its a perfect note app for me. Does what I want without doing too much.

DeletedGravy It's even worse, it got three different signings

DeletedGravy different signing hash that AppVerifier rejects

It rejects it since they are different that's all.
Re-installed the one from Accrescent and I've never got this error thrown in Appverifier before:

DeletedGravy Also tried the latest of the versions and it still cannot make proper italics.

Novaliss Is it safe to assume this is just a whoopsie (in that it just happens that the Accrescent version signing hash is published nowhere, but it is published for at least one other version), and that it's safe to use? Should I take for granted Accrescent's solid security, even if I can't verify it with AppVerifier?

DeletedGravy It seems the dev is using a different signing key for each release. Understandable with Goolag since they want you to upload the signing keys to them but he could easily use the same key for GitHub and Accrescent because the latter only needs the hash of the key to be uploaded. Anyways I guess you don't need to verify it yourself when installing with Accrescent because it's already being done automatically, that's the major selling point of Accrescent.

DeletedGravy safe to assume this is just a whoopsi

I'm not sure. The release from Accrescent is also older. I would go for a different note app. Accrescent is being built for safety, among its goals is to make the signing checks unneeded for users to handle. But Accrescent is still in development, and the small array of its apps has the unintended effect that these apps will appear 'featured', or 'recommended'. The short list looks like a curated, hand-picked refined collection but, as I understand it, this is just in the proto-state of the coming full-fledged thing.
@lberrymage correct me if I got this wrong.

Got an amazing mind blowing confussing list of apps, but still cant figure it out WHY will i ever need one in my daily life,tasks, activities.
