Zoek je een volwaardige notitie-app als alternatief voor OneNote, Evernote of Notion? Met mappen, bijlagen en een web clipper is Joplin een goed open source alternatief.

Je kunt Joplin koppelen aan je eigen Nextcloud-omgeving voor de synchronisatie. Ook is er een mobiele app beschikbaar.

@kolev You asked "#StandardNotes or #Joplin?" I answered "Joplin." You answered "bulletjournal.com."

I am suspecting you may be a bot since none of that follows and there is zero contextual expansion.

Mhmmm Ich weiß nich', Digga! Ich mein ja, KI Features *können* nützlich sein, aber muss ich das deswegen in meiner Notiz-App haben?

Wenn es Opt-In ist, würde ich es durchgehen lassen. In anderen Fällen müsst ich mir das angucken. Und gegebenenfalls wechseln🙁

I am having one heck of a time trying to replace #Joplin with another note taking app that is #NoAI.

I didn't realize that #JoplinNotes had a proprietary file type. That's making things a lot trickier.

Joplin's backend is a sqlite database. Sqlite is FOSS, not proprietary.

Not sure, but in this context, you may find the links in the quoted post interesting.

They aren't visible by default in Joplin, but you can just click on "Note properties" at the top right corner of a note, and find many of these metadata values.

You can also turn off notes geo-location.
On Joplin desktop, turn off
Tools -> Options -> Note -> Save geo-location with notes
On Joplin mobile, turn off
Configuration -> Note -> Save geo-location with notes

You can find details of Joplin's e2ee support here.

Also, dear @joplinapp why the db ?

I can't speak for the Joplin team, but I remember their lead developer Laurent had answered this question in various replies in one of the threads on their Discourse forum. Found it just now, most of it is from April-May 2021. You can check out the thread itself, or maybe check out only these replies by Laurent (listed below in the order in which they appear in the thread).

The following posts in the same thread, by two other Joplin users, give some perspectives on why they prefer a database as Joplin's "source of truth" over a folder of plain text files.

By the way: Joplin's built-in Backup plugin can be set up to periodically backup notes as markdown or as markdown+frontmatter (or as several other formats). It preserves filenames and the folder structure. That should mitigate concerns about your notes data being limited to Joplin's sqlite database. But yes, you cannot edit those files outside of Joplin and have Joplin automagically incorporate those changes in its internal database. If that's your requirement, then Joplin does not fit your needs.

Just pulled up a #JoplinNotes Markdown file and #Joplin files have 31 pieces of metadata including latitude, longitude, and altitude.

Wild.

Standard Notes is ending the Listed blogging platform.

Announcement on r/StandardNotes: https://www.reddit.com/r/StandardNotes/comments/1w9vuwt/an_update_on_the_listed_blogging_platform/

I migrated my notes over to Joplin half a year ago and have been running them side-by-side, with a view to switching. I love SN but the feeling is that since Proton took over, it's not going anywhere. I share the disappointment about removing a neat feature like Listed on a paid-for application.

Fell down a #Markdown rabbit hole today, looking for a good markdown editor that allows you to render/preview and EDIT in that preview mode, instead of having a separate window/panel on the right like #Joplin or whatever. Ideally I'd love a standalone version of #Obsidian's markdown edit window that pops up quickly when doubleclicking an md file. Tried #Markary, #marktext, #typora, #Inkdown so far. Marktext is like the slowest app I've ever used.

MD editor built into #Typefire is ok.

I like the way Joplin opened images within the note I was working with. I'm having trouble making other note apps do the same.

@schizanon Yeah, deity knows there's enough of those floating around. I'm looking specifically at #ionicframework both for the native integrations, as well as simply using #css for layout (which I'm really good at), vs learning another layout system just for the sake of being "native". Also, one thing I'm keen on is having the option to use apps without an account, maybe storing data locally in a #sqlite db, with the ability to cloud sync #joplin style with the provider of your choice? IDK 🤷🏻‍♂️
