Thanks for the feedback. We plan to update the mobile app so it's good to know what needs to be improved.

just jumping on this to say I'm a Joplin user and I love it, thank you for building an awesome app. I currently also use notion because of Joplin's lack of note sharing on mobile; if good note sharing came to the Joplin mobile app I wouldn't need anything else. The only other feature I'd want that I think is missing from Joplin is the ability to define different storage locations / encryption keys per notebook to allow good separation of work and personal data. Overall though, wonderful app and I am so happy that something like it exists. I really feel like the intentions of the app developers align with my values, and that it will continue to go in the right direction for years to come.

Glad you like the app and thanks for the kind words! For separation between work and personal notes, we know support multiple profiles, as described here, available on both mobile and desktop: https://joplinapp.org/news/20220606-release-2-8/#multiple-pr...

By note sharing on mobile, what do you mean? I believe you can share some text from any app to Joplin. And there's also a way to share from Joplin to any other app (from the context menu). Or is it not currently working?

I use the iOS shortcut for pasting into Joplin and it works great other than not brining in the title.

Wanted to thank you for the great app! I left Evernote a year ago and it’s helped me get my journaling back on track. I use Dropbox sync and it wonderfully. I don’t remember the last time I had issues with it.

Only thing I hope for one day is the ability to see the article tags on each note in the list view so I can see which notes have which tags in common without having to click on the tag.

Keep up the great work!

Multiple profiles is a great addition, but obviously would be even better if the app did not need to close and re-open. The risk for me is that a thought disappears in the time it takes me to swap profiles, but I think the keyboard shortcut should help with that on desktop :) the switching itself seems to be fast enough.

By sharing I mean the notebook sharing feature that is available on desktop but not yet mobile. https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/share-notebooks-and-collab...

My use case is sharing lists etc (e.g a shopping list, task lists) with my wife who barely ever goes on a desktop computer, and have her be able to share lists with me, update them etc.

Thanks again!

Joplin as a FOSS app is really a good initiative and I keep trying it from time to time. However having used smartphones for more than a decade now (and being a mobile developer) I have realised that, whatever would be the reason for an Electron app (there might be valid ones like resource, time, target audience etc), an electron app just doesn't cut it. So I doubt I can use an electron app on mobile. Problem is it shows :(
