Day 28 of the #100DaysToOffload series:Yesterday @VikingKong suggested Joplin to me after my article about syntax highlighting and markdown. It sounded like a great app, so I tried it.https://mikestone.me/trying-out-joplin

@mike regarding the encryption, I have it setup and it only asks me for the encryption password when syncing a new device (for example if you sync with nextcloud then install Joplin on your phone, once you set it with nextclous it won't let you see the actual contents until you enter the encryption password)there is a feature request to have an app-level password (https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/289)

@mike @VikingKong Good discovery, I'll have to look at it again. I have a CodiMD instance set up, which I like, but it does not play nice with my high latency work connection. Fpr the file syncing, I heavily use Resilio Sync so the flat files can be on my phone, rather than relying on other cloud storage services. I run one of my Sync nodes in my self hosted VPS so my laptop does not need to be left on.

@mike @VikingKong I’ve used Joplin for over two years now! I used it for note-taking all through school. I love it!

@mike Joplin can sync with WebDAV [1], and you can easily install a WebDAV server on your Synology NAS [2] 😊 That should solve your synchronization issue 😉[1] https://joplinapp.org/#webdav-synchronisation[2] https://www.synology.com/fr-fr/dsm/packages/WebDAVServer

@mike Joplin takes quite much space with the split window, I prefer using Typora, it directly shows me how it looks like and is space-efficient. No need for syntax highlighting. Some days ago, I discovered another, similar editor, but I forgot its name.

@quetzop1 Well, you can disable to split view, but it doesn't interpret the markdown codes you put in. If you type in [Link here](https://somewhere.com), that's what shows up. It escapes the code for you because it assumes what you type you want to see. I think I like the way Typora does that better in that when you type in the code, it interprets the code on the fly and shows you the results, but that's honestly subjective. Joplin's is a WYSIWYG editor, not an intpreter.

@mike@VikingKongJoplin is a terrific app and the cross sync to Nextcloud makes it even better. The only reason I switched to Trilium Notes (Yet another impressive selfhostable app) was that the Android app currently does not support creating sub-notebooks.

@mike yes, at times it also can be annoying when Typora renders things wrong or the cursor is moving unexpectedly. I often have that issue when working in math mode. In that case, a code editor would definitely be more suitable. However, I find it more inspiring seeing immediately what I get when typing, while having quick visual access to other applications, such as PDFs.
