[image] Can I run a second instance of Joplin? I agree. This should not be a desktop-only feature. Hey Tessus, I'm trying to get an idea of how this has to be properly implemented as I would love to work on this as part of GSoC. If we implement this as a desktop feature only, won't we run int…

[image] rabeehrz: If we implement this as a desktop feature only, won’t we run into problems while syncing the notes with other platforms? No, why would we? Can you please elaborate? I don't think there's a forum thread or documentation (other than in the code) how sync works.

[image] tessus: No, why would we? Can you please elaborate? Apologies. After thinking it through, I figured it won't be an issue. So If I'm correct, the scope of this project is only for the desktop application?

[image] rabeehrz: So If I’m correct, the scope of this project is only for the desktop application? IMHO, at the end, the magic happens in the back-end. If you link profiles to users than you can easily switch them on any platform but starting with desktop is alright as long as implemantation…

[image] PackElend: If you link profiles to users I don't understand this. There are no users in Joplin. You can give the profile a username, but adding multiple profiles will not add a user authorization scheme.

may thinking goes properly too far :slight_smile: When you share notes with other useres using the sharing service of the notes storage serice (e.g. nextcloud)

Correct me sir if I am wrong, but can’t we add Users to joplin, I mean what if we restrict users to login using any service ( eg. google ) to sync their data. We can link every existing to note users id, as joplin is using sql database, we can have another model, with users id, and their profiles a…

I’m against a user/pwd login for the Joplin app. The only users that are specified in Joplin are the users for syncing the data. But there’s only one sync target (user) per profile, so why would you want to use users?

I can think of one scenario where that would be useful: a multi user household all sharing the same mobile devices. It’s less common these days but still is a thing. On a desktop, you can setup multiple user accounts but most mobile devices don’t allow multiple user logins.
