Let’s create a comprehensive list of open-source software that everyone should know about!
Joplin: An open-source note-taking and to-do app with markdown support and end-to-end encryption.
I’ve tried it for a long time, and it’s the best note-taking program, especially if you run the sync server yourself.
btw this is powerful. i recently upgraded to Joplin from using colornotes. there’s so much you can do and a ton of QoL things they’ve added that make organizing and searching notes much easier.
Joplin is awesome and I wish I’d known about it sooner.
How does it compare to Obsidian? Other than being FOSS which is a win.
obsidian seems to be some huge ambitious app that means to do a bunch of graphing and whatnot. seems to be more of a workboard app than a note taking one. (just going off their homepage. i was not familiar with the app before you mentioned it)
joplin is just for taking notes or journalling. its very good at giving you built in tools to organize your notes as well. but its quite a minimal and efficient style. it is a powerful app. but it’s made for a different purpose.
