Some ideas for joplin peripheral tools

[rxliuli]

Improve the developer experience with the joplin plugin

• Type definition errors
• Some type definitions are not exported
• No better high level cli -- @thejohnfreeman/joplin-plugin Some improvements
  • Generate base project
  • encapsulate high level commands, but also support plugins and configurations
• No automatic migration tool to migrate from the existing project format to the new project format
• data api too flexible api is not a good experience in practice

Write a git-based joplin plugin for automatic backups

Motivation

• Reduce hard drive growth for constant full backups of jex
• Meaningful history viewing and comparison
• Solve the problem of jex regenerating ids

Why not joplin-plugin-backup: it's based on jex, which is a compressed format and doesn't work Compare the differences between the two versions

Dependencies

• Implement the joplin full export and import plugin
  • Complete export of notes, tags, directories, and attachments
  • Import exported content back intact (including invisible fields such as id, and handle and alert if they conflict)
• Technologies
  • rollup to pack the worker_threads plugin -- not handling this will jam the program during CPU-intensive operations
  • relies on the above improve developer experience with joplin plugin

Batch processing

currently doing, referenced in joplin-batch-web

• Check if there are attached resources that are not referenced
• Check for the existence of notes without a parent directory (usually an error)
• Check for the existence of referenced attachment resources that do not exist

Display joplin data as a graph

Made a little attempt, then gave up, it's a low frequency operation, ref: joplin-charts

Notes recycle bin

Made a very basic prototype, then gave up and made it in joplin-plugin-recycle-bin can be viewed

• Put deleted notes in the recycle bin -- currently the joplin plugin api doesn't seem to have an event like onDeleteNote, so only a new command can be added: safe delete
• Provide a display page for the recycle bin
  • Support for restoring from the recycle bin

Since I don't use the joplin ui, I won't try to implement this one
