Joplin, a free, open source, self hosted syncing note taking alternative to Evernote and OneNote..

Joplin Notes can be synchronized through several methods including NextCloud, Dropbox, Webdav, and OneDrive.

Notes entry is done with Mark Down, but there are handy UI buttons to help you create the right mark-down when you need it.

You can change and manage your notes offline, and they'll sync (if you've setup syncing) the next time you connect.

You can also control your notes and content completely by syncing through a self hosted Next Cloud server.

Your videos are awesome! You actually show the software in reasonable depth - while keeping focused on the actual piece in front. Many others tend to either being too shallow, or they talk way to much about unrelated stuff. Nice job - subscribed!

I have this exact setup myself now!! Joplin with Nextcloud has been FANTASTIC. I even exported all my YEARS of evernote notes and was able to easily import them in to joplin.

4:20 the whole application remains in the appimage. It's like a Docker container with a GUI. BUT, you don't have to leave it in your
~/Downloads folder. The standard is to create a
~/Applications folder. Thanks for the great review. You're the first person to clarify that Next Cloud syncing had been added.

Joplin Is underated. Love your videos. Keep it up.

Yes! I love this tool! I love that it supports encrypting the storage with a password. I use it in combination with Syncthing to have the notes on my desktop, laptop (both Linux) and Android phone, and backed up (with Syncthings versioning) on my server.

Open source is Awesome ... No doubt. But you are even more awesome. I am amazed at the effort you make to makes these videos for us. Appreciate your effort. Thank you.

I loved OneNote so this sounds perfect.

Joplin got some interesting new features lately. One of them is the ability to configure multiple profiles (and thus multiple synchronization destinations) 😍

Appreciate the review, thanks for sharing it with us.

[jimsmith]

looks good.... I have a question, though....

Suppose you are on your desktop and you update or add new notes, then jump on the plane and start your laptop without internet access. Will the item you changed be in the laptop app? Or should you have started the app before you got on the plane and just close the app until you can start up the laptop again to see the notes?

If you are interested in pure note-taking, have you (sorry if you already have) tried Workflowy?
I see Joplin as more than a note-taking app, and Workflowy is easier for me for pure note-taking.

I wonder if syncing could be done without the cloud services or with Protonmail's Cloud service ?

[AcidiFy]

Let's say I have no resources for Self-Hosting NextCloud & don't want to use Dropbox & other proprietary cloud services

Can we use SyncThing to Sync between devices without the need of Cloud services ???

Loved your review of Joplin. I'm new to that app. I'm a Windows person, but I'm planning on moving to Linux. I use OneNote day-in & day-out. Does Joplin allow screenshots being dropped into it? I use OneNote to keep track of my recipes, and as I improve the recipes, I make notes and pictures. Also, I screenshot recipes online that I want to try. Can you do screenshots easily in Linux and then put that into Joplin with something like a cut & paste? Also, maybe, make a video on that topic too, because not many people have Joplin videos. Thanks.

Interesting. Thanks. I watched it at 1.25x speed.
Qn. What is 'markdown'? HTML is HyperText Markup Language, but 'markdown'?
Is this a USA thing like 'lucked out' meaning you were lucky, or 'check' meaning to tick, or 'I could care less' meaning you couldn't?

On the content, ever since the first examples of Sidekick appeared, I've thought that real-world uses of programs better portrayed their value rather than a demonstration of a set of items from a list.
"Suppose I had to....".

Hello,
can you do a video how to install Joplin as a docker container ?
Thank you

[undisclosedmusic]

Could you take a look at sandstorm? Looks super interesting

[Rednunzio]

Possible collaborate on notes with Dropbox sync on ?

[przemowu]

Pity you cannot share your notebooks using nextcloud sync.
