With the current drama around WordPress and Automattic, I was searching for alternatives to Simplenote, the app I am currently using to save my notes and keep them synced.

In the awesome-selfhosted list, I found a software called Memos. It is written in Go and uses SQLite by default.

After trying it for a bit locally, it’s difficult to say what exactly it is. A note-taking solution? A knowledge base? A CMS?

But whatever it is, it looks quite impressive, feels speedy, doesn’t use much memory, and I am considering self-hosting it.
