After 11 years, I got pushed away by Evernote. I have fond memories, but now it's time to move on. So here go my findings as a new user to the app, but seasoned in the note taking genre. I've been using Joplin for just a few days now. After a difficult import, I moved my workflow to it. The impressi…

Well, the man said it. It's for another day then.

[image] JackGruber: A PR for this feature was not accepted. Yes, I saw. No, I don't agree with that decision. However, I've found that by starting my note titles with YYYY-MM-DD, the search results are mostly in the correct order, and that's good enough for me for now.

[image] Leo: The scrollbar CSS: it works! But only on the source (edit) pane. Do you know the element for the rendered markdown pane? @JackGruber speaking of, remember the CSS on the scrollbar above? ::-webkit-scrollbar { width: 12px; } Look, it only applies to one pane: [scrollbar] D…

Add it also to the userstyle.css

I currently have 19 plugins installed, and I consider both Favorites and Note Tabs to be must-haves, so I agree that these should be incorporated into core Joplin. That said, there are plenty of others that I also think should be incorporated into core Joplin: Automatic Backlinks, Folding in Code M…

One thing to mention regarding search is that our implementation of BM25 was buggy and I'm not sure it was sorting anything at all. It's been fixed in recent version. What I'd like to investigate next is how much weight it's giving to more recent notes versus older ones.

[image] laurent: BM25 was buggy Buggy or not, I think the user should decide how he wants his search results to be sorted and not some algorithm that may or may not work.

It's the old debate - adding more options may be more user friendly but it also makes the app harder to maintain (and for having refactored the search engine recently, I'm glad there wasn't more complexity). Also when we add this kind of options as workaround for bugs, it means there's no incentive…

What about using a tag to group your favorites? Then, just click on that tag to display them...
