I'm currently using Apple Notes on my Mac and iPhone. It works just great! It synchronises perfectly I can drag and drop images to it, no problem. Cmd + C, Cmd + V, Cmd + B, Cmd + I all work as expected. I can even add to-do lists and cross out "Done" I think it even supports tables, But I don't use them. Export as PDF, html, airdrop, email whatever, works easily What doesn't work: If I ever get out of Apple ecosyste…
Side question: why did you name the application Joplin? (My hometown is Joplin, MO and I'm curious if you're also from or living there.) My other two guesses for its etymology are Janis Joplin and Scott Joplin.
Not the author here, but my guess is that it's named after the composer since the software deals with notes. Also, though Scott Joplin's ragtime musical style has a lot in common with some very informal music, his own approach was more educated, sophisticated, and precise. Every note was in its place for a reason, and he was known to prefer his pieces to be performed exactly as written. So you could say that compared…

Fastmail enables you to use their service to sync your Notes from OSX& iOS. i think with CalDAV.
Just installed ( https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/releases/download/v0.10.... ) on Windows 7. Went straight into Options to see what's what...noted that geo-location of notes is on by default and wasn't able to switch this off. I know generally where I am when I take notes...I don't need this on by default. Uninstalled.
There's a weird bug at the moment in the Option screen - if you click on a checkbox, the change is registered but the checkbox will still appear as ticked (That can be verified by exiting the Option screen and going back to it). So if you disable geo-location and for example auto-update that should already work. The Option screen display issue will be fixed in the next release. The backend of these apps is quite reli…
This looks great. I hope you might prioritize adding a web clipper. For me, the Evernote Web Clipper plugin/extension is the killer app. The rest of Evernote isn't great, but their web clipper is incredibly useful to me.

Simplicity, freedom to really migrate your data. Sure, you theoretically can migrate your notes from, say OneNote to Evernote (and vice-versa), but doing so is a great experience in frankensteining. I'm not even very confident there isn't outright data loss in some places, and with a high volume of notes, it's not feasible to check manually. Even with no loss, lots of stuff look ugly and/or do not work anymore, even…
writing your notes in markdown is a bit ass-backwards though - it's great as a storage medium but having to manually reformat a markdown document because you're not live-editing the output is a needless pain. I'd much rather write using your usual rich text interface and have that export markdown for me.

Good guess, that's exactly it :) I love this composer and was listening to him a lot while developing this app. Additionally I think this is a name that's easy to remember and type, so it felt like a good choice.
May I suggest QOwnNotes as an alternative to this? It's also cross-platform (not sure about mobile) and it's not another shitty electron app.
