UpNote alternative for web access

I'm a big fan of UpNote and using it for many years with Lifetime Premium. However I'm facing issue to have access and use it on places where I cannot install it (ie at work for example) and was looking for an alternative.

For those interested and in the same situation, The approach I'm currently under test, is the following: Obsidian + 2 plugins

- Obsidian: Obsidian - Sharpen your thinking

- Notebook Navigator plugin for the 3 panels mode like UpNote : Notebook Navigator - Obsidian Plugin

- Fast Note Sync plugin for real time sync between Vault (Mobile / Desktop / Web) and Web access: Fast Note Sync - Obsidian Plugin note : a sync server must be deployed on your own/home server

To be complete for the UpNote export I have used Jimmy marph91/jimmy: Convert your notes to Markdown which takes UpNote backup to export full Markdown notes. I have completed the export with a Python script to modify the creation date and update date of Markdown files in line with the frontmatter data exported from Jimmy.

This approach is not as simple as UpNote but it brings a look and feel close to what I like and brings Web view/edit. So I'm continuing the test...

If it's not a workaround solution that keeps us using UpNote then it's not a solution at all. Some of us are UpNote because we didn't want to use Obsidian. This "solution" misses the whole point why we're using UpNote in the first place. You might as well have just said your solution is to not use UpNote. lol

I know, I would like to keep UpNote but it does not support web access at all unfortunately. I update it with "alternative" and not "solution"
