I tried to like Joplin, but it keeps annoying me that the files are not just plain md files server side, it's just a big mess. For that reason I use (for my admittedly much more spare usage) the build-in md editor and files from NextCloud.
Joplin is just a SQLite database which is very easy to query.
The name is a bit unfortunate for a few Slavic languages. Not as bad as Pidora, but still.

Curious to know what joplin means in those Slavic languages.
It's a bit of a reach tbh. "jopa" (жопа) would be a crude way to say "ass". Then some schoolyard nicknames would sometimes have a suffix -lin or -in (-лин,-ин) as general creative addition to create nickname.
Unless I'm clueless about of some slang usage, or grandparent refered to some other Slavic language (not russian), "Joplin" (жоплин) doesn't mean anything directly.

Czech here and no idea what it should be. Not even close to some profanity.

I am Russian and I have no idea what that Joplin is supposed to mean.
Earlier in the year I discovered Joplin and I’ve stuck with it, enjoying its balance of structure and unstructure. If it had the instant-data-entry-into-CSV feature of Tap Log it would be perfect, but nevertheless I decided having one journal / personal data repository was better than having several, and set about importing all my entries from my previous system. I now have many, many thousands of entries spanning over nearly 25 years, and I’m happy to report that Joplin is coping well.
