I have done a quick search of some topics and see that some of my idea suggestions are requested separately. I am going to pool them together and hopefully remember everything I have come up with in the last two days.
I want to start out with saying it has been a while since I used the app because I lost some notes in the beginning. In other words they just seemed to disappear (no I did not delete them).
I had an acquaintance on a social platform tell me about obsidian. I was hesitant to use it due to my past experience of lost notes. Joplin was not the only note app I had this issue with.
Anyway I realized I still had it on my laptop and after using obsidian since the 8th of last month I wanted to see how they stood up in comparison to each other.
First I notice I could not find the notes anywhere on my hard drive. I did some searching and discovered they are stored in a database file in obsidian. I wonder about the purpose of this. Why can't they just be a normal .txt/.md file?
I then went in search of whether it had plug ins available. Good news. It does. This had me stoked, but then I when I tried to go back to the work space I only had edit and quite options which meant I had to close the application and re-open it. Can this be fixed?
I am also wondering how to access plugins I have installed. The only one I see is the calendar app. I actually installed two different ones to test them out but only see one. Are they conflicting with each other? And how do I access the other plugins? I do not see them in the menu.
Two more things I want to mention before I forget is I would LOVE to see Joplin have the ability to publish to a personal website instead of straight to github. Is this what the share notebook feature will be at some future time? I have also been trying to use emoji's and they do not seem to work. Is there more than one way to do them in markdown?
What about allowing for a custom installation location? Until I can get a backup drive or a server set up I would prefer to be to have it on a usb drive I can port from one machine to another.
I may have more suggestions but I think for now this is enough.
