- heavyset_go 6y agoJoplin isn't like your typical web app, and you need to either carry a copy of your notes around on every device, or you need to sync them using a cloud service. For that reason, I went with other note-taking and wiki software.
- loughnane 6y agoAs the other commenter noted Joplin is a desktop application that syncs (over E2EE) if you like to other machines via gdrive/dropbox/nextcloud etc. I was using it via nextcloud and it worked perfectly for what it was. The web clipper also did a great job of snatching simplified versions of web pages. What killed it for me was just my expanding desires. I want to things like - view my knowledge base from my work machine without downloading the whole knowledge base to it. - Be able to search my notes AND all the books i've read. I tried using pandoc to go epub to md but it was too clunky and the searchability within notes wasn't great. If I was still using it as a drop in replacement for evernote I think it would be great, but to go beyond that starts to stretch the seams a bit. I also second looking at github's awesome-selfhosted.
