The suggestion that someday there might be an Joplin NC app doesn’t fix this… I’d prefer for the files stored on the filesystem be arranged in such a way that they make sense in and of themselves. The end result is that though my notes might be recoverable if I was ever forced to use another application, it would be non-trivial and require great effort. Given that Nextcloud makes a database available for such things, and given that the filesystem can map to Joplins “many notes in many notebooks” nesting hierarchy, this shouldn’t be strictly necessary. Though they use the md extension and are nominally markdown, every one of them is contaminated with strange metadata tags. When it saves/syncs files to Nextcloud, the filesystem is used as a slop bucket of randomly named files.

It’s very close to what I want, but the author has no intention of ever fixing its deficiencies.

Additionaly, if the doctor would like to share the information with her colleagues, she could send the report via email which would also include the linked files or simply share it with other colleagues using the same system (without exposing all of the documents related to the patient).Īfter a few days of evaluation, I do not believe Joplin suits my needs. By clicking on the links within the report she opens the latest version (instead of having to navigate to the folder and find the document). With an Evernote like system, the doctor could create a single report referencing multiple documents. However, many of those documents will need to be referenced in different scenarios. I want to add, that with the current business strategy of focusing on health care professionals (based on the current social media posts by NC) an Evernote replcement would make a valubale sales proposition.Īs Nextcloud is primarily a document store, having an application that allows the user to work with static files in a more dynmic way would be very valueable.įor example, let’s say a doctor want to keep track of a specific patient, she would likely create a folder for that patient and add the patirents medical records there. Keepnote - This is a nice note taking application that can be used locally.No encryption and relies on dropbox to sync. However, it’s simply not stable enough to trust my notes to (I lost all my notes when I upgraded my OS despite the fact that the notes were stored in my dropbox folder). Springseed - this is arguably the best looking of the note taking applications.Wiki (pick your own here) - No synchronization - Markup only - Typically doesn’t support storing of external files, depends on links to the files.For users not running KDE (esp., Gnome or unity), the dependencies are many. As far as I can tell, it provides no synchronzation with other devices as well as no encryption. EN uses a traditional (and familar) word processing method of editing notes. However, one of the reason I was never happy with Onenote was because of the use of contaiiners for text and other types of document content.

Basket - Probably the most mature of what I have seen so far.In my personal experience I’ve had issues ranging from performance issues to synchronization issues. NixNote - Like everpad, uses the EN api to provide Linux uses with a Native client.Good for a low volume of notes but when you have thousands of notes, it becomes alomost unusable. Everpad - hooks into the Evernote infrastructure.One thing I love about this application is the progress bar for tasks in a note - simple and brilliant! It also doesn’t support WYSIWYG editing… instead it relies on a confusing dual pane markup and preview interface. The problem with Laverna, is that it simply isn’t stable at all. Laverna - the new kid on the block, provides the user with the ability to encrypt notes and sync to dropbox or other cloud storage.On pojnt 2 I’ll just cut and past what I wrote on reddit a few years ago:Īll of the functionality I have listed above, I have seen (partially) in other opensource applications: The original post states what I think needs to be there at a minimum but I’m probably going to add more to this as everyone has differing ideas on what an evernote replacement is. I’m most definitely not looking for a markdown note manager.
