Joplin.

You don’t strictly have to self host it but it’s gotten pretty good with a WYSIWYG editor now and everything.

I love Joplin until I have to use the phone app.

There is no background syncing and is slow as fuck and I have lot of notes… And there isn’t a way to like not sync all and just what I open etc…

So well I have yet to be able to use it on the phone as it hasn’t synced all yet and without the full sync it doesn’t show the notebooks/folders… Plus every time starts from the beginning checking…and yeah that is slightly faster but still until it reaches where it was last time still super slow. …

@XTornado @xaxl You can set the Sync interval on Joplin. I have mine set to 5 mins so it Sync every 5 mins and the first sync when I start the app takes a few seconds.

This is what I do and it seems to work fine.

The issue is the first sync I am still on first sync… It is at 2000 from 17000 or somethibg like that. Ideally if somehow left the phone open on the app for hours it might complete but unfortunately I tried everything but my phone doesn’t want to stay awake with the open app but eventually close/locks. And since it doesn’t have background syncing…

Without the first sync the folder/notebooks doesn’t appear so is basically useless.

@XTornado What are you Synching with? In my case, I self host my Joplin server and on my local network, it took around a minute to Sync a few thousand notes on my Android phone.

Official Joplin Server Docker image hosted on my dedicated server. I would have setup WebDAV but somehow when I was setting up I didn’t see that it was an option and I thought I needed the Joplin Server.
