#2Joplin is great; unlike similar apps, it’s very fast. Even with gigs of pics in a doc, it still scrolls fast. Others I tried don’t even open or crash/corrupt.

#5How does it compare to obsidian?
Think it’s a bit of personal preference to be honest
I tried both a couple of years ago and much preferred obsidian, although I know long term Joplin fans who have pretty tight workflows and love it

What don't you like about the mobile app?
In my opinion it's not worse than the desktop app (but I don't really like both of them - I'm just glad it syncs successfully)

For me personally the only upside is that I don't have to pay separately for syncing the documents and can use Dropbox instead. Yeah I could use Dropbox on my phone too for obsidian but it's not a great experience when all you want is taking/reading notes without hassle.

It’s a pretty clunky experience trying to creating and editing notes. There’s also the constant worry about conflicts, to try and cut them down I open the mobile app, hit sync, make an edit then hit sync again. I use WebDAV, maybe Joplin Cloud is better at it

#10How does it compare to obsidian?
Tried both for quite some time, Obsidian has better community plugin support, better sync (paid) and stores plain text files instead of using a DB. Most importantly the mobile app (at least for iOS) of Obsidian is 1:1 with the desktop app.
Switched from Joplin to Obsidian and haven't looked back. Both apps are great initiatives though!
