I didn’t like moving to Obsidian from Joplin for this reason, but Obsidian is so much more useable because it stores everything in a regular file hierarchy. It also has a better UI. And above all, I absolutely hate Joplin’s “every note is a folder” approach.
- deckard1 5y ago> absolutely hate Joplin’s “every note is a folder” approach that's not true. They have notebooks and sub-notebooks, which form a tree on the left. To the right of that is a list of notes within that notebook.
- nopenopenopeno 5y agoThe result is the same. Every sub-notebook is a notebook that can contain more sub-notebooks, but there is no such thing as a mere folder that can be placed inside another folder without also creating a confusing space where notes can hide inside the notebook but not alongside its sub-notebooks. The other way to interpret it is just a very poorly planned UI that uses separate panes to list folders and notes that are located in the same hierarchy position. Either way, it’s madness.
