Anyone here using Joplin for note taking? I hate using proprietary apps/services for essential thins, and that's so far the best self-hosted and open source note application I found.

There are a few very simple features missing (which could totally be implemented via plugins)

1. A daily note page. When opening Joplin I would like to start typing, and not create a new page first

2. A button for adding Notes on top of the stack, or below/above the current note.

I'm a long-time user of Quiver and feel that it's just about perfect. It is MacOS only though, and I haven't found a suitable equivalent for Linux or Windows (work). However Joplin comes really close. If you're a fan of Joplin but are using MacOS, give Quiver a try. They also have an iOS app, and someone made Quaver for Android.

obsidian might be of interest but it's not open source (imo this doesn't matter because the data is plaintext and can be stored in Git).

Oh wow, thanks a lot for the tip.

I love that Obsidian just stores plain markdown files, which means zero vendor lock in. And just after playing around for a few minutes I see so many things they do better than Joplin.

I can actually use it in parallel with another markdown editor (VS Code with Markdown Preview Enhanced or Typora)
