Joplin – a note taking and to-do application with synchronization capabilities

When it comes to todo lists I really prefer nested checkboxes, like Dynalist[0] has. That enables me to make a list of projects, where each project has their own todo items, and maybe they have sub items, and so on. I like being able to divide stuff into smaller and smaller chunks, and then checking them off as I go.

So basically a new take on Workflowy?

I've always felt that text+shortcut first approach beats all of the prettiest heavy categorized approaches.

This sort of thing is best in a disposable fast changing format. Life is too chaotic and motivation varies where heavily organized and category driven systems often fail long term without vigilance.

Which is why simple txt/markdown (combined with some text editor integration like vim-tasks to add things like lists of todo items which can be marked as finished + archived on demand) files remain the ideal solutions..

Yeah, this is why i use Vimwiki[0] both for notes and todo lists. Nested checkboxes and easy navigation through page links. It is vim specific though so that might be a problem for some.

Looks like a strong candidate to replace Google Keep when they suddenly decide to shut it down.

And what happens when dynalist shuts down? That’s why I prefer self-hosted or plain old Apple Notes :-)

Daily export to Google Docs/Dropbox for paid users and free manual export to html, text and I believe cvs for anyone.

One huge selling point for Dynalist, and why I don't mind paying for it, is the data portability is perfect.

Of even SimpleNote, which everybody did buried when Automattic buy it, but still in development and working.

Looks amazing. I've been using some hacky vscode setup to do GTD but this seems like exactly what i want. Too bad it's not open source, i would still pay their instance but i would feel better knowing i have an escape hatch if they close.

Will try it anyway.
