I'm still using joplin + dropbox

Fun fact: Joplin log files include plaintext secret keys when you enable E2EE. I moved away from Joplin after that plus a data loss incident where Joplin decided that it wanted to delete all of my notes in the repository. Too many foot guns there! I did like the software though.

That issue seems to have been fixed 4 years ago: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/commit/b07fe5cc348ab8c3d...

Apple Notes keep all deleted notes in a trash bin for 30 days, you won't lose anything unless you manually go and remove them.

Deleted notes are easy to recover; deleted text not so much.

This is the real problem I have. If I delete content, move to a different note, and return to the first note, I lose the undo history and any possibility of regaining the deleted text.

Joplin has no mobile writer. Only reading. Obsidian has that. And is more extendable. That is why I switched. For me, writing a note on multiple devices is the key feature.

Joplin's Android and iOS app can both edit note contents, by tapping the '+' or 'edit' circular button at bottom right of screen.

Last time I checked (2019ish) it wasn’t possible. The times they are a changing, I guess.

Will check it out again.
