![]() I don't mind you getting carried away at all I struggle to be terse and I'm NOT a writer. And sorry, that last sentence was going to be my only addition to this conversation, but I got carried away. I can’t be the only one scratching his head. But it doesn’t have a mobile application. Oh! Oh! If you want something that operates as a layer on top of git: Atom can do that too. They also have excellent renderers built-in (well, Atom does with an extension). And if you just want a markdown editor without a concurrent versioning system-or a note-managed application- wrapped around it … ghostwriter and atom are pretty great. And if you want encrypted git, Keybase’s built-in git is pretty darn awesome. ![]() Joplin is precisely the right use case for me. And though it has been nearly bulletproof in its reliability, I export periodically, because at 90,000+ words you start to get paranoid. So, yes, Joplin can be used to manage long documents. I organize all the disparate notes, images, random bits of data, and … every scene. I use Joplin to organized all the pieces and parts to that novel. ![]() I personally buck the trend: I use Joplin to organize and manage a large project where the “notes” are very long. GitHub, Ghostwriter, and Atom are not note-management applications, though I suppose git could be one. Atom is a great … text, markup, and markdown editor. GitHub is a concurrent versioning system where the text files are … markdown. 15 years ago, it would have been a notes management application where all the notes were text or XML or something. Folks are right that this is a notes management application where the notes are markdown. I’m trying to piece this together.Īs for the rest … geez. Can you help me understand?” That’s something else entirely. Or, are you asking, “So, joplin does these things, but I don’t understand why. Confirm that and we’ll all nod our heads and smile and file it as an RFE and move on. But … if you implying an RFE then, well, okay. Or, are you trying to say: “I like how Joplin does things, just not how it stores, accesses, and sync’s data.” ? Is that that what you are saying? It’s still a statement and not a question or request or even an RFE. Just use other tools? I missing the point of your commentary. So, I will just use other tools.” That’s what I hear. Again, you just say (paraphrasing) “Joplin is great, but it does all these things I don’t like. Then … you went on and started to sound like you had an actual question. I.e., You sounded a smidge hostile out of the gate. That’s what it sounded like, and hence people got defensive. ![]() I guess to make this feature complete, one would also need a way to update the path to the external file in Joplin for times when you move folders around on your file system.Īt first you just sounded like you were walking in here and just criticizing and walking away. Also any time I make changes using Joplin, these are exported automatically to the original location. I realise Joplin stores the content in a database, to satisfy my usecase, off the top of my head, I imagine Joplin would need an option while importing an external MD file, which specifies that I want to track this external file, then Joplin records the path in its database and knows to watch for changes and automatically update its copy of the file. Further, if I were to modify the MD in Joplin, I would then have to remember to re-export it in MD format back into my repo’s folder (replacing the original) so that then I commit and version those changes. If I have to re-import the externally modified MD into Joplin to see changes, then this defeats the purpose as Joplin is seeing an old version of the MD. Any of those external changes need to be automatically synchronised with what Joplin sees. It may be edited on my local file system by my develoment tool, e.g. The MD file may also be edited online using a Github editor in the browser, and commited/versioned there, so next time I checkout the repo, the updated MD file is replaced on my local file system. Each time I checkout the repo or commit new changes, the MD file is versioned with it. If you are familiar with a GIT/Github workflow, each repository/folder has a top level MD file which is versioned along with the repository. Thanks, as far as I can tell, the external editing support in Joplin is not what I’m talking about. ![]()
