I've been a Joplin user and using their Joplin Sync server for a few years now. Last night, I migrated everything over to Obisdian and just finished setting up a self hosted obsidian sync. I will say that the self hosted sync was nothing short of a puzzle for me but finally nailed that down between my phone and desktop app. So, I have the same as Joplin now for that functionality.
What got me started on this little side journey, is I've been seeing more and more pretty cool uses for Obsidian and have a lot of great things about it. I'm not dumping Joplin yet, but am giving this a solid try before I make any hasty decisions.
I did the opposite this past weekend and migrated from Obsidian to Joplin. Obsidian is a fantastic tool, but with my AuDHD, it's an absolute productivity trap.
I spent 90% of my time tweaking community plugins, designing complex custom templates, and configuring graph views, and maybe 10% actually writing notes. Joplin lacks the infinite customization rabbit holes, which turns out to be a feature: it forces you to use the tool for documentation instead of endless system design.
Do you have any experience with logseq? I am using it as I looked for an obsidian alternative that is FOSS. I don't really use much of its possibilities though, so I don't really know how they compare.
I went from Joplin to Logseq (now Logseq OG)
Joplin just didn't click for me, but Logseq saved my life when I took on a new role at work.
I've not switched from the markdown to the db version, but after 3 years of almost daily notes it's ok, but it needs a good spec machine when you're searching across all the files
No, but I used this as part of my basis for decision:
