How 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!
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 support arbitrary folder (simple .md/.json files, depending on the complexity of the editor). I'm working on a mobile version and a built-in sync option as well.
Once the built-in syncing is complete I will probably only charge for that and the client itself will be completely free.

Joplin also uses plain text files.
Shameless plug for my native (Qt C++ based) open-source, cross-platform note-taking app[1]. It's fast, beautiful, and just works.

I really ought to give it a shot again when I've got a clear head.
If you want a FOSS alternative to Obsidian that's just as simple you could try Zettlr, but currently it's rather rough. You have to change the UI settings to get the folders/file view that Obsidian has, and I found readability to be rather poor. Initially there's no way to make in text larger without zooming in the entire UI, font, and the themes that are available aren't the best for writing or reading notes (and if you like one specific theme you're sod out of luck if you want a darker version of it) – if you want to change things to your liking you have to experiment with the experimental Custom CSS option.

But: I couldn't find anything about syncing my notes or mobile clients / other ways to access my notes. Even in the "vision" document. That's a must have functionality _for me_. Probably not important for everyone... therefore, good luck with your project :)

Looks nice. Good to see that there are still native apps in development! Looks a lot like Joplin - which I like.

Currently, you can change the database location to your synced folder (Dropbox, etc...) in the settings, but some users reported data conflicts while others said it works fine. You can try this but I'll wait till we officially switch from DB.

Great work. I love it.
