@laurent22 Hey Laurent! Thanks for reporting this to us :) Though it has been hunted again, it's so heartening to see the community showing so much love to Joplin. 😍

@laurent22 @ardadev Absolutely! Laurent has been added as the Maker now 🙌 Arda, I have removed you from the Makers list now. However, being an open source project, each contributor is a 'Maker' :) Kudos to all of you for being such wonderful members of the Open Source world, and the PH community! 🤘

@laurent22 @adityavsc Thank you! I know, however, my contribution is next to nothing comparing to these rock stars, and I believe It would be simply unfair to have my name written there while theirs weren't.

Thanks @adityavsc! Shouldn't the two pages be somehow merged then? Or we keep them separate?

Hands down the best note taking app in existence. Thought I'd share as it doesn't seem to be hunted yet.

Review Joplin?

Joplin is praised for its simplicity and versatility as a note-taking and to-do application. Users appreciate its markdown support, extensive plugin options, and seamless synchronization across devices. It is often highlighted as a strong alternative to Evernote and Notion, especially for those valuing privacy and open-source solutions. The ability to self-host, such as on a Synology NAS, is a notable advantage. While some users desire a more powerful search system, the app's open-source nature and active development community are significant positives.

It's simple to use, and provides basic functionality like markdown support. Doesn't force features you don't want on you

Take your notes anywhere: on your phone, laptop, tablet, etc and have them synced to each other. Plenty of plugins to make your work even easier. Save websites as html, markdown or images. Create todos from your notes.

There are so many knowledge management systems like logseq, mymind, roam, obsidian etc. I find the simplicity of joplin to be very attractive. It works for me. I want the search system to be more powerful something akin to obsidian perhaps.
