Secure Notes

@laurent I'm a big fan of your work!

I recently switched from Obsidian after it started getting resource-heavy and a bit laggy.

All I really needed was a simple way to protect a few sensitive items — like my 2FA recovery codes and credentials — that I didn’t want to store in Bitwarden. Joplin turned out to be perfect for my needs: it’s FOSS, cross-platform, and supports Markdown notes.

The only features I found missing were:

  • Secure Notes (which I’ve now implemented for convenience)
  • Wiki Links (I’m planning to work on quick-links plugin to achieve this)

I’m currently using the editor API to render a read-only view of encrypted notes. I tried using content scripts but ran into a few issues — for now, I just want a stable, working model that I can refine later.


For testing purposes, I’ve also created another plugin — Quick Note — which I published a while ago. However, it still doesn’t appear in the plugin marketplace.

I followed all the instructions and ran npm publish, ensuring all the requirements were met. Could you please check and let me know if I might be missing something?
