I have tried to switch to Joplin from Evernote twice. But each time I have ended up being frustrated with the synchronisation. It is just too slow in my opinion. Perhaps I have too many notes, but I will be looking for another alternative to Evernote that can work on my phone and Ubuntu.

Is SimpleNote something for you?
It only supports plain text notes (with Markdown rendering), but I've got years of notes in there, and it works on every platform. It's also owned and supported by Wordpress.

#33I tried many note-taking apps and finally settled on Notable[0]. It's simple and you can point it to a folder with markdown files and attachments. Plus, you can just sync the folder using any syncing service, and use Noteless[1] on Android. The tagging support is superb, you can cross-link notes, render math using katex, and export to pdf. Because of the simple folder structure, you can also use vim+fzf to search/nav…

#34Shameless plug for my native (Qt C++ based) open-source, cross-platform note-taking app[1]. It's fast, beautiful, and just works. The next version will add an option to turn your Markdown tasks into a beautiful Kanban view[2] via QML. This feature will be paid but anyone will be able to compile the source with a simple CMake flag to get the PRO version for free. Currently, it uses a DB but we aim to port it to suppor…
Has it got math formula support?

#35I switched from Evernote to Joplin last year and are super happy.
Syncing against an S3 bucket and everything works great, rarely any problems.

> Why not joplin? Mostly because joplin stores notes in an sqlite database instead of a simple folder structure making it not easily accessible by normal unix tools and editors.
But instead much more accessible to any kind of software, including a five line python script. While plain text files are useful, they shouldn't be taken to be the only true and accessible way of storing data, even textual ones.

Not saying that text format is the one true way - but I find it much more convenient to browse/read/search for notes than reading from a database.
Re: Joplin – An open-source note taking and to-do application with synchronisation
#38For those that want to crosslink anything and everything I suggest Logseq[1]. Its journal and graph view are fantastic. And it has many useful plugins. I use it along with git-sync [2] and syncthing [3] now I can sync the notes across my work, personal desktops and my mobile.

I jumped from Joplin to Logseq too.
Before it was Boostnote.
Probably the reason was both Boostnote and Joplin seems to have stopped developing the application and shifted focus to monetization.
Also I personally prefer the (much) more technical way that Logseq work. It is not a markdown editor, but a knowledge base that stores its data as plaintext files in a markdown-like format.
One question: do you have pointers to a good way to setup git sync and syncthing? I pay enough to LogSeq to have free sync but I prefer to self host and also the current sync model is somewhat flaky.
