Hey,
I’m using Joplin (a Markdown note taking app) and think about migrating to Logseq because of multiple reasons.
The main problems I have not yet solved:
- OSS-Syncing Logseq notes between Desktop OS and Android. Logseq does not have an OSS selfhostable sync-server like Joplin has…
- Making sure to transform my stuff, so that Logseq can work with it. Yes, it’s both Markdown, but especially images and how Joplin handles them seem to be a problem for this migration.
What are your experiences? Have you ever switched between 2 Markdown note taking apps?
- Which ones?
- How well went it?
Is it maybe even possible to use app 1 and a Desktop OS and a totally different app on Android simultaneously on the same data? The common standard is Markdown…
I use YouTrack’s knowledgebase, which has a plugin for Draw.IO. I use the cloud version which is free but you can host it yourself.
Try silver bullet https://silverbullet.md/
I moved from Evernote to Joplin a number of years ago, and now self-host the Joplin server and use Joplin on all of my devices. Great app. I’m afraid I can’t help with the migration from that to something else, though!
I just edit markdown files with neovim and sync with Syncthing. I don’t have it set up on android, but you sould probably use markor to edit.
I used to do that, but eventually found out about https://silverbullet.md/ it’s still just markdown files but I can edit them on the go with my phone.
Plus it has some nice extra syntax to query documents that’s quite handy.
Obsidian-Syncthing user here. I agree with what someone else said about no feedback from syncthing that it is or is not done updating files. Beyond that though, it’s a great tool that handles all my notes well.
Bro. Just try it with duplicate files.
You will find out if the pictures don’t load.As for syncing: I heard some use syncthing for that.
My personal problem with it is, that I can never be sure it’s done with multi device usage as there is no feedback to tell me so.I am using Obsidian.md both with a remote repository (built-in 1st party paid model) and a community plugin for another repository using remotely-save (which saves it to my personal onedrive folder).
Both options have an indicator that they are done saving.
But with remotely-save I encountered corruption when I turned on my pc which hadnt had connected in a longer time. And remotely-save is configured to stop syncing if >50% of files have been changed.
So now I am running a background task to zip the whole folder and purge the oldest one every week.I haven’t migrated apps (except ditching Evernote), but I use Obsidian with obsidian-livesync and it works great - typing on my phone live updates the notes on my PC. Downside is you need the self hosted software running somewhere
Have you tried to open a joplin .MD file in a plain text editor? That is not markdown. Its markdown wrapped into some Joplin format.
Can it really be migrated 1:1 to another app?
I can’t say whether it can be cleanly migrated to another app but there are a number of export options to get you either to plain Markdown or something else within reason. When using the export option, the resulting Markdown at lest gives relative paths to any included media.
I don’t think it’s fair to suggest it’s not using Markdown. It just has a wrapper around it to make it work better for the usual use case of being a digital workbook.
OP have a look at “Jimmy”, it might be what you’re looking for: https://marph91.github.io/jimmy/formats/joplin/ ( https://github.com/marph91/jimmy )
