      When i tried Joplin i was put off by a few issues:

      • pretty sluggish UI on all platforms
      • not plain markdown: all your files have .md extension but the content is definitely more JSON than MD :)
      • synch is cumbersome unless you use sychthing or similar.

      It was over 1 year ago,so.

      I tried Joplin for a while but dropped it, too simple. Also tried Trilum, which I liked more but it’s still a very young project.

      Eventually, my Obsidian vault will go there, but not just yet.
