(#24500762)
I recently switched from standard notes [0] (which was really interesting because of the standardfile protocol[1]) to Joplin and I haven't looked back.
Joplin has been fantastic so far -- it offers so much value (cross-platform, reasonable design, markdown support, search) for completely free, and with easy sync options and no feature gates. It needs to get mentioned more.
It seems like productivity apps are the wave now, but Joplin is exactly what I wanted -- a simple cross platform note-taking app.
I'm considering hosting a Joplin WebDAV/S3 sync + backup service for something like $1/month billed yearly -- I wonder if people would be interested. Obviously most people probably just use Nextcloud/Dropbox/OneDrive and there's no real reason to trust some random sync/backup service over the other options, but with encryption turned on, the place you sync to doesn't matter and it feels like people might be interested.
