They’re “markdown” files. You can go into the Nextcloud web app interface, and open them or any other text file.
And, you’d even be able to modify those files there… except that Joplin doesn’t do true markdown at all. It spams it up with some metadata which it hides within its own interface. Sometimes I want to be able to look at or add to notes when I’m not at a computer that I own, it’d be able to use NC’s web app for that.
Just wondering if Joplin still screws this up, or if they somehow went in and fixed it.
Use the app, it 1) allows you to encrypt those files
The NC web app doesn’t interfere with encryption. Furthermore, Joplin then locks me into using it forever, my notes aren’t easily viewed with anything else. If I clean them up to be usable with something else in the future, then I’ve messed them up so I can never use Joplin again.
This isn’t a feature. It’s a lock-in.
you are better off just having a bunch of markdown files in a nextcloud folder, without Joplin.
I probably am better off, because I need to steer clear of software producers who attempt to lock me into their product, and who spam up standard file formats with proprietary crud to make those unusable with other software.
But I am not better off without a notes application at all, because the NC interface is very basic and inconvenient for organizing a large number of notes. I can’t use it on a phone, for instance. I can’t juggle between notes-topics quickly. I wish there was a good notes app, that didn’t try to lock me into their title, or their cloud, or whatever. Joplin’s just not it. And it could have been, it was so close.
