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 use Joplin with a self hosted WebDAV for syncing. Works like a charms on all my devices.
