FYI, a notetaker without inline images is a nogo for me. I need illustrations and screenshots with my notes. i'm happy to host the images externally.

So when you look at an article like this and there's this paragraph explaining how image support has been improved with a GIF demonstrating inline images scrolling in both the editor and the preview window, what is it exactly that prompts you to write a comment like this.

I just switched to the Joplin markdown note app (from DS Note, and Evernote before that). It’s free, works on desktop and mobile, etc etc. Frankly I love it and wish I switched earlier. Anyone have a good comparison vs Inkdrop?

Joplin kicks ass. The only area it might need improvement is regarding showing the tags associated with a note without having to click a button. The mobile app, web-clipper and desktop apps are all wonderfully done.

Is this the only other note taking app besides Evernote that has a web clipper? That has been the killer feature for me. Will have to check it out.

Just signed up for a Standard Notes subscription today. How does this compare? Seems they are both e2e encrypted with Markdown and code highlighting. Standard notes also has rich text and todo list plugins.

I’m a happy StandardNotes user and IMO it looks like it’s very similar but StandardNotes is more mature and has more functionality. If anything this might be slightly prettier.

This is also double the cost over 5 years.
