    • Information flow – how I capture the notes

      Joplin open-source tool, with paid Sync service. However, it supports WebDav sync. As a user of Fastmail have a lot lot of storage for it. Those parts work great, links, complexity level, and clear Markdown. Themes, mobile app, tags, everything I needed was there. Unfortunately, again, for short notes, my go-to app becomes memos, for long-form BookStack, seems to be the best solution. Why? Firstly my love for…

    • Zettlr: Note-Taking and Publishing with Markdown

      Longtime Joplin [1] user here, how does the most recent version of Zettlr compare? I have grown really comfortable with the simple interface of Joplin, plus using S3 for sync makes life easy for me as I’m living on my own infrastructure. [1] https://joplinapp.org/.

    • Looking for some fairly minimal note-taking software. I’m picky about exactly what I want to commit to though.

      [Joplin](https://joplinapp.org/) is a really close second, but github syncing isn’t practical at all.

    • Why note-taking apps don’t make us smarter

      I can’t recommend the Zettlekasten Method enough: https://zettelkasten.de/introduction/ You can do it with index cards or you can use software to practice the method and grow your note collection. I now prefer Zettlr (https://www.zettlr.com) after using Joplin (https://joplinapp.org), which are both FOSS. One of the core strategies of the Zettlekasten Method is to link notes to each other. That’s how knowledge…

      That’s why I use https://joplinapp.org It’s markdown, open-source, free. With desktop and mobile support. Syncs notes to any cloud of your choice for free. (I use One Drive) Optionaly you can pay them to sync your data on their cloud. So they even have a compelling business model!

    • Twitter temporarily restricts tweets users can see, Elon Musk announces

      I like Joplin. They offer hosting but you can do that yourself or not at all. If you do want to sync it to various devices, it supports end-to-end encryption, so shitty Dropbox or OneDrive employees can’t snoop and/or build up a data pool about you to send to advertisers.

    • Finally getting control back, and what I’m using

      Obsidian is my personal favorite. But, if I need it to sync up across devices, I’d highly recommend Joplin. Obsidian has a much better UI and more features, but Joplin saves everything to my Onedrive in order to sync and it’s nice for quick notes.

    • Does anyone have a good note-taking system?

      I strongly recommend joplin notes (https://joplinapp.org/) as an alternative to obsidian. It has a lot of the same features of obsidian, but it syncs your notes via dropbox, onedrive, nextcloud, etc… I love it.

    • My ADHD is not taken seriously, because I’m intelligent

      When it comes to easy tasks, I just take copious notes now. I use Joplin because it is easy to sync across devices and it is like a Wiki for my life and work. It would be what a huge stack of paper used to represent on my desk in the 90s, only searchable.

      Obsidian & Joplin

      Ticks 1/2/3/4/5 but Obsidian is closed-source but nonetheless it is a trusted privacy friendly app and you can use it while having it blocked by your firewall. You can test both and see which one you like really, its down the personal preference, I like Obsidian because of how minimalist it is. Joplin saves locally which you can share over GDrive or any other cloud provider if you like. Obsidian…

    • For folks exploring Evernote Alternatives

      I’d recommend https://joplinapp.org/ if you want something that’s equivalent to Evernote, or https://obsidian.md/ if you want to try something different. They both store your notes on your local machine but have good syncing abilities, which is an add-on. They also use Markdown to write notes.

    • Note taking app with collaboration (may be not real time)

      I use https://joplinapp.org/ which is open source, has collaboration options, offers End-To-End Encryption, has a cloud server offering that can also be self hosted for free. Notes are encrypted via the app so the back end can not read the notes.
