Yet another request for a note taking app (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello! I'm still not satisfied with my note taking app. I tried dozen of them, read tons of lists on random blogs on the internet, without any success. I'll try to ask you then.

I'm looking for a note taking app with just this 3 features:

richtext/WYSIWYG (i don't want to write plain text and then press a button to see it rendered)
it has to support CHECKBOXES! Most of the apps I tried does not support them, or supported them only if all the note was a checklist. I don't want a checklist, I want a note where I can put some checkbox inside!
FOSS and active

The one I'm currently using is obsidian, but it's not FOSS and it feels very overcomplicated for a simple note apps.

Any suggestion is welcome!

EDIT: forgot to mention, I'm talking about Android XD

I downloaded the fdroid app but... I'm not able to use checkboxes. If I type

- something

it is not converted into a bullet list

- [ ] something
[ ] something
[] something

are not converted to checklists
and if I click on the checklist icon in the toolbar LATER appears instead of a checkbox... am I missing something?

In the block, the first word should be TODO Then when you click off it, it adds a checkbox at the start

Everything is already a bullet list, that's the logseq design, so if you also want numbering then use the command key / and search for numbering

Hope that helps!
