Even after 4 years this video about @obsidian@mas.to holds up pretty well.

I really wish more people moved to places like Obsidian, The Fediverse and create a better life for themselves but who knows one day it might happen.

As I mentioned in one of my previous posts (or maybe multiple ones), my note taking tool of choice is Joplin, because of its flexibility, customizability. I did quite a lot of customization on it, including some CSS styles for the UI of the program itself, and the rendered notes, to make things more visible, prettier, and also included workarounds for some rendering issues. I also like to use the plugin called Templates with a template I made to create study notes from.

I decided to share these things with you, maybe some of you will find them useful too.

You can find detailed description of what's included, and how to use the config in the README.

If you have a way that you read books on a Mac, and are able to export the highlights, can you let me know? The formats I can use for this are either EPUB or PDF.

Things I've tried:
Apple Books highlights are terrible, full of character errors and copyright notices after each one, so please don't suggest that option.

Calibre reader: Can't see how to export highlights, also formats textbooks terribly.

Feel free to boost!

Where do you draw the line for only using #foss apps? I really want to use #Obsidian for markdown notes that can sync with iPhone but want a FOSS alternative. None of them meet all my requirements though sadly.

I’ve been logging everything I do in a personal CHANGELOG.md in @obsidian since January, and I absolutely love it.

Every day I add something to the list, and it makes me feel like I'm achieving something. This is an important part of recovering from feelings of inadequacy and workaholic tendencies.

Only because I couldn't find one that worked the way I wanted it to, I wrote Yet Another Note Making App. Entirely CLI. It may work for you too.

@joplinapp
Whilst I thank for the numerous good work you've done - is there any plan to implement a keyboard shortcut to switch between markdown editor and rich text editor? (Not the ctrl L to switch between preview and you panels)

Any discussion I've found, old or new, are simply "you are out of luck".

There are many cases where a document works better in a specific editor mode.

Obsidian is great, but as it's an electron app it can have.... issues. This guide goes over several ways to install the app, and how to get the best performance from it.

On keeping a zibaldone - L'Atelier Nomade

"Zibaldone means a heap of things or miscellany in Italian. They date back to antiquity and were kept particularly during the Renaissance and in the nineteenth century. Such books are essentially scrapbooks filled with items of every kind: recipes, quotes, letters, poems, tables, proverbs, prayers, legal formulas …"

Carl Linnaeus's Note-Taking Innovations

So, in our last post, we talked about Joplin, this open-source note-taking program created by the talented Laurent Cozic.

One of us use Joplin for many years, first at work and later in personal computer too. Because we like it, we decided to tell about it today.

We found a really interesting interview with him about the product philosophy behind Joplin, which we'd love to share with you.

In this interview, Laurent talks about why he chose to make Joplin open source, the focus on privacy and security, and what the future might hold for Joplin.

He also talks about how he uses Joplin for work and for personal use, and he has some recommendations for people who are just starting out with it.

You can read the interview here:

A last thing... Laurent works a lot on this project, and... for free!

So if you'd like to send a donation to the project, you can do so here: https://joplinapp.org/donate (they accept Bank Transfer, PayPal, Patreon, Liberaply and Github Sponsor).

...or you can consider rating the app on Google Play or App Store.

Do you know JOPLIN? It's a nice European alternative to apps like Evernote, Google Keep, Notion, Microsoft OneNote.

Joplin is a free, open source note-taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. You can search your notes, copy them, tag them and modify them either from the app itself or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format, which is great.

It was created by Laurent Cozic back in 2016 as an alternative to Evernote. It's cloud service is hosted in Paris, France. They focus on privacy, security and transparency.

It's open source and offline-first, so you can always access your data on the device, even when you're not connected to the internet.

It's got all the basics you'd expect, and you can also attach images, videos, audio files and PDFs to your notebooks.

There's a huge community of people who have made extra features possible with their plugins.

It's also super easy to export and import your files, which is great if you're worried about vendor lock-in.

The handy web clipper extension lets you save web pages or take screenshots in the browser and save them to your notes.

Check all the features in their website:

All of these are open source, private and encrypted. Of course, Notesnook is still the best

finally managed to make the obsidian selfhosted livesync server to work. mostly because I never used couchdb before, but it was fun, always learning

but its not like Im going to use it, I was just messing with it. my preferred notetaking app is notesnook and I love it
