Notes on Joplin Notetaking tool
4 min readDec 15, 2022
What is Joplin
- Free Open Source notetaking app
- Feature rich but all your payments are optional (that said, I strongly encourage to pay for their services and this thing, too good a product to get for free when you can easily pay tens of dollars for other products that are not even as good as this one, :-) )
- Lives here: https://www.joplinapp.org
- Available in all platforms including a terminal application
- UI has three panes (actually four panes)
- Allows github flavoured markdown
- Extensive plug in system so that if some feature is missing, you will likely to find a plug in to work and plugins are free, and you can even make your own plug in if you want
Synchronicity
- Syncs via Dropbox but also other options
- You can use Joplin cloud, inexpensive cloud hosting of Joplin files with some additional features like web page hosting and file storage; if you use Dropbox, you should not have any…
