I'm currently using a self hosted instance of XWiki on my NAS to write down long term notes just for myself. But it runs very slow with the database and limited hardware ressources. And since I only access it from my Windows PC on my LAN I figured I'd just need an application that does the same job and save the files on my NAS.

So does anyboy know a good Open Source application for Windows that can be used like that? It needs features like these:

WYSIWYG editor
tables
font colors
font highlights
text code
headings
embed images
embed YouTube links
(un-)ordered lists
bold text
underlined text

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Added WYSIWYG editor to the list.

I use Obsidian for my "personal knowledge management" and I absolutely love it. Yes it's not open source, but as you said, there is no "vendor lock" you are manouvering yourself into because what you're creating is just a folder with text files. Obsidian is just the thing that makes it easier to traverse and work with.

Edit: Seeing that you need tables: Obsidian uses markdown tables but there are some convenience plugins to work with them more easily. There are even plug ins that let you use excel-style functions in markdown tables but this is the devil's work and I haven't used it so far. 😅
