Mobile alternative?

[jjercx]

Evernote and other note providers offer mobile apps for Android and iOS, so you can read/write your notes on your smartphone.

I am sure it's a good idea but it will require some time investment on my side and so I would like to be sure that people really want it.

Thanks for bringing this up. I might try to open a crowdfunding or similar to gauge people's interests and if positive, will work on the Android app. I will let you know any updates on this issue.

@jjercx I am thinking about working on this idea. If you are interested, please subscribe via email here. It will also help me gauge the interest level in the mobile version. I won't use your email for anything else.

Hello,

I just came across this project and thought the idea seems pretty great.
I was about to suggest something similar to a mobile alternative, but instead of making a new app, you could make use of the apis of services such as OneNote and Evernote to let people use those as backup/sync option along-side of your other supported cloud services.

There is already this package which lets you open from and save to Evernote: https://github.com/bordaigorl/sublime-evernote

I don't think it's still being maintained.

@SonOfDiablo Sounds like a good idea. But one of the motivations of this project was not storing data in a proprietary format. But this is a solid suggestion, we can use SimpleNote which is less proprietary (hopefully). I will have to look more into their API.

@aviaryan right, that makes a lot of sense.
I have never heard of that service, but yea it seems like a better choice.

I'm looking forward to see what you come up with.

I found two open source markdown note-taking android apps based on hierarchy folder, which maybe be options or to modify.

https://github.com/Shouheng88/MarkNote
But, both lack global content search, encryption.

@willowj Both of them are in Chinese so I don't know how good I will be with their code. Btw, I would like to make it cross-platform, not just Android only so anything in Flutter/RN would be more preferable. That being said, I am still not working on this (mobile version) since I will have to validate its demand first.

@aviaryan well. Joplin is based on RN and Electron.

Markdown, search, encryption, sync, multi-language all are ok.

Newly find It supports sub-notebook with its own data-form.api

And, someone has made python api through web-clip api

@willowj Joplin looks nice. Thanks for sharing.
