Hi, I have been reviewing note-taking apps and in particular those that are in the Evernote space — like Nimbus, UpNote, Bear etc.
I also use Obsidian as a main resource, with Capacities more recently.
Joplin is a capable competitor with all of these but the mobile app lacks one key function: word count.
Word count is provided by ALL the others I have mentioned. It is essential to writers – there is always a target length in mind. Longer articles may be built up from shorter notes, and it is necessary to know how those snippets add up.
I am aware that the desktop app has gained a word count — but I hunbly submit, that is even more reason to address the absence on the mobile app.
I hope the team can make this a priority.
