Joplin doesn't seem fully FOSS.
Logseq seems nice but I won't be able to hit it at notes.mydomain.works

What are good options? Ideally for keeping recipes and things

Do some parts of go-notes have proprietary sources? I can't find the source for the native Android client in the repo or instructions on how to download and build it from elsewhere.

The android, windows and Linux app use propriety parts, the android app is a web view app built in android studio, the Linux and windows apps are just electron apps. I have all the source code I used to build them on my pc, but I didn't create a repo for them. go-notes is fully open source with the backend in go, the clients are just extremely basic frontends.

Edit

Just gone and checked and all the electron apps source code is in my repo, so the Linux and windows apps you can build yourself from the code. I can upload the android code from android studio if you want as well?

It'd be cool if your app was installable from F-Droid, for which the sources have to be somewhere under a free license. I most likely won't be able to contribute code but would indeed like to look through the sources, and maybe help with translation if the code supports internationalization.

Cool. I'll add the android source code to the repo when I get chance 👍
