Re: Joplin – an open source note taking and to-do application with synchronization
#3So many people here are going to be one of today's lucky 10,000 [1] to learn about the awesomeness that Joplin is.
It's been around for quite a long time, in active development, with a nice ecosystem and well-polished featureset and interface.
I've been loving it for the time I've been using it. It even has a web clipper.

Looks like a v2 recently went into "pre-release": https://joplinapp.org/changelog/

#5Joplin is great, been using it for a little over a year now.
What's not the best is react native is... complex (rightfully so, many layers of abstraction) and it's hard to contribute unless you really grok every layer (JS/React/iOS Apps/XCode)
I tried to fix the spinner direction on mobile and trying to test was _challenging_. That said, If you are a react native expert, and can spare literally 30 min and wanna help feel free to take a look: https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/pull/4506

#7I could use the opposite:
A TODO-app which has no synchronization capabilities so I don't need to worry about leakage of private data.
Ideally it would use a very simple plaintext file format for its database so it is future proof, e.g. http://todotxt.org/
The TODO.txt format seems very nice but the Android apps listed on that site are either not fully developed or unmaintained, and one even looks like it's not open source.
Simpletask seems like the most advanced implementation, but it got kicked out of Google Play for the usual Google shenanigans, so the author says on a sticky GitHub issue that he has lost motivation: https://github.com/mpcjanssen/simpletask-android/issues/1110

#8I am a heavy one note user with a group we all sync our notes to a network drive abs it works well.
Would this be equivalent but supports iOS and Linux?

Use Obsidian or Logseq or Zim Wiki or TiddlyWiki or Zettlr or one of the many others.

FWIW, synchronization in Joplin is:
- Optional
- End-to-end encrypted
- Can be self-hosted or restricted to a file-system (like a network drive)
