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…

Hi, OP and also a long time Linux advocate here. I own a list called Awesome Linux Software and I was constantly searching for great software. That's how I jumped into your app and decided to post it here on HN.

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.

To counter this a bit, I would rather run an Electron app than be greeted with this as the default interface: http://www.qownnotes.org/var/bekerle/storage/images/_aliases... I'll take an app that uses a bit more resources over something that looks like an IDE instead of a note-taking app any day. Currently using Inkdrop[0], which is not open source (but subscription based) and has a rather basic Android client, but i…

Thanks for response. I assumed it was a bug and i'm sure there are quite a few start outs which find themselves on here via the power of copy pasta. That said it was the idea of having geolocation on by default which irked me. Is there a reason for this?

Is there a reason it shouldn't be? When i take notes i would like to capture as much metadata as possible. So when i reference them later i get full picture.

They are light (at an A5 form factor), have a very good paper quality, and covers with textures that fit comfortably in the hand; they also fit comfortably in my pocket. (there's also some with hardcover, but I find them too heavy)

I confirm this. They are very classy. I use one to write my best recipes (so old school :-)). However the little elastic is a little bit weak.

The elastic stretches beyond repair in a year or so.

I've been using Typora to make my todo lists recently. It's a markdown editor too. Super simple to type, and you can really got some professional looking layout, with headings and titles quickly too. Recently they built in a file browser. Open one file in a directory, and it will show you all the files in side panel. Which in my case are just todo lists for day of the week. But it could be any type of notes. Highly recommend it. For Example typing ###Title would give a large title typing - [ ] will give you a checkbox, and so on

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.

You don't need to let Apple have your data to use Notes. Notes syncs through a standard IMAP account.

If you have your own domain, you can just create a notes@example.com e-mail account and Apple Notes will happily sync all of its data through that. That's what I do.

Same here (I would pay, that is). I've been using SimpleNote for text notes since I switched to Linux, which seems to sync as well as Notes - but I really miss the simple sketching tools (and that great ruler!) for jotting down ideas on the train, and drag & drop images for "borrowing" ideas from the internet during the day.

OK, once: "Coming features All: End to end encryption" is implemented then I'm up for giving this a try. The plain text format and markdown support is good features.

I'm giving this a try, using Seafile for synchronization with encryption instead of the app's own system. As an extra, I can self host it and I can revert any changes if I need to.

Boostnote - https://boostnote.io/

I have been using it for a few months and it is working good for me with resilio as my sync tool but it works with dropbox also. So security is up to the way you sync your files.

Works on Linux, Mac, Windows, iOS and Android and is open source. Takes a bit more to setup but I like this app since it reminds me of the old PIM Programs of old and has a good markdown system. It also exports as plain text or markdown.
