manuskript VS Joplin

I want to use Manuskript (https://github.com/olivierkes/manuskript) since the novella that I am writing is not very linear, so I though this program will help me. Instead of trying to write on Ms. Word or G-docs.

A free writing tool that I use (a lot) is Manuskript (works well on both Windows and Linux): https://github.com/olivierkes/manuskript

I'll jump on the wagon to promote manuskript. It's technically still in alpha, but it's functional enough to work with, and getting more people interested might help the development. It's open source and cross-platform and has lots of interesting features (some of which I still don't know how to use).

Manuskript is a good writing tool imo.

I suggest either Manuskript or, as mentioned, Scrivener. If you can deal with the Markdown formatting, Obsidian is an extremely powerful solution, albeit at a steep learning curve.

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.

The tools to manipulate SQL aren't that bad, no.

But rather than having a self explanatory markdown & flat file, now I have to start learning about the schema & making specific tools (in my preferred language) for manipulating Joplin's schema.

Suddenly I'm digging through 20 different technic specs to decode what data is where, how it works, and what I can do to it. Want to edit history? This is the best help you'll get, pray it's adequately technical to expedite you to your purpose: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/blob/dev/readme/dev/spec...

As I began with, I struggle to imagine anything that generates anywhere near as much user agency as flat files and markdown. Having boring common data & systems lets me apply portable skills I already have, rather than having to skill up in some particular product's own ecosystem.

Joplin is a good open source option too, feels more like the original Evernote in terms of UI/UX https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/

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 created notebooks for specific domains (work-related, home improvement, etc.) and also keep a "temp" for quick notes and W.I.P. snippets.

Its only con that it uses Electron on desktop which causes relatively slow start of the application.
