Standard Notes VS Joplin

Our website isn't open-source, but the tools that are used to convert notes and our web app are. 🙂

If you really had to, say for a temporary copy paste onto a different device, I recommend Standard Notes. It's an open source, end-to-end encrypted note service that worked really well for me.

Yes, you'll need a standard notes account for it to work. You can register here https://app.standardnotes.org/ or download the app from the website https://standardnotes.com/ and then register within the app.

The desktop apps do not support the processors typically used for Raspberry Pi OS (or Pinebooks/phones) at the moment. In the meantime, you can use our web app at app.standardnotes.org. 🙂

Hi there, sorry to hear that. Are you able to sign into the web app? Which version of the app are you using (it's located at the bottom of the settings page) and where did you download it from?

You can sign into another app, such as the web app, to ensure that the changes you've made have been synced. Sort your notes by Date Modified (on each client), inspect the tags pane, check the Archived & Trash folders, and compare the contents in the web app with the other apps that you are using.

I think u/basicslovakguy is already alluding to it, but if it's only the application passcode, have you tried logging in from the web? https://app.standardnotes.org/

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.
