• My productivity app is a never-ending .txt file

  I've had great success with using Joplin for this, with Syncthing as a sync backend. Works well across OSes; I use it on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android. https://joplinapp.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

  Joplin, an open source, extendable, Markdown-based hierarchical note-taking app: https://joplinapp.org/ It lets you choose a synchronization backend, offers applications for every major desktop and mobile OS (also has a terminal version). You can create notebooks and subnotebooks to organize your notes. You can also add tags for better search experience.

  I'm not certain, but I believe that Joplin will serve your needs. Source: 5 months ago

• Ask HN: What software did you purchase that positively impacted your family life

  Joplin (free, but sponsored) in combination with a Storagebox at Hetzner. Joplin allows us to share notes, shopping lists, to do lists, etc via Webdav between our various devices (mobile phones, laptops, desktops). https://joplinapp.org and https://www.hetzner.com/de/storage/storage-box. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• 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. Source: 7 months ago

• 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... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Tell HN: Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off

  Try https://joplinapp.org + cloud drive of your choice (I use One Drive). See my reply to your parent commenter. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Tell HN: Nearly all of Evernote’s remaining staff has been laid off

  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! - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• 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. Source: 10 months ago

• 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. Source: 10 months ago

• 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. Source: 10 months ago

• Best free cross-platform note taking app?

  I use Joplin it’s a very capable and free note app. I hope this helps you. Source: 10 months ago

• Open Source note-taking software with Knowledge Graph view and self-hosted sync between devices

  I’m using Joplin, several graph plugins available as well as many more. All the apps, cross platform, CLI. Source: 11 months ago

• Note taking app

  Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. The notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged and modified either from the applications directly or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format. Source: 11 months ago

• 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. Source: 11 months ago

• Need suggestions for Free, Open-source, privacy focused diary/Journaling app?

  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... Source: 11 months ago

• 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. Source: 11 months ago

• 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. Source: 11 months ago

• How do you store, sort and organize links on various topics?

  I never used Obsidian, but I am a big fan of Joplin for note taking https://joplinapp.org/. Source: 11 months ago

• Evernote will raise prices on Personal and Professional accounts

  Https://joplinapp.org/ Open source, uses Markdown, mobile apps, can sync with E2EE multiple ways. They also have a sync service you can pay for, but it's cheap and you can run it yourself if you want. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
