This is an Electron app, so I do not know how to do this with an option.
I generally like the idea of being able to hide the dock icon (as an option), but you should also be aware that in such a case, Joplin won’t show up in the App Switcher (Cmd+Tab) anymore.
e.g. I use it to bring Joplin to the foreground.
This will hide the dock icon and inside the task bar as well. I would prefer this as a setting though, together with a hotkey to automatically open Joplin.
This is true… However, it’s something I can live with at the moment. I use hamerspoon to hotkey to open up joplin’s main window so I always have note editing handy at all times without being “in the way” on my dock or task-bar.
Actually it works pretty well without menu. Most of the options are available in the toolbar, and most of the menu items i don’t really need. Preferences are still available with cmd + ,
As said: it’s something I can live with, others may or may not.
