Personally, I just use markdown text files+vimwiki on my laptop, along with Markor for Android, and Syncthing to get my notes where I need 'em, but in the end the principle is the same: Own Your Damn Data!
You just gave me an 'aha' moment here. I've been using the cli version of joplin basically as a text-file manager, but with a decent-ish mobile app. I've been struggling with keeping it updated etc and have been considering going back to just text files.
I wasn't aware of markor and really like it, it seems to handle editing text files really well.
Already use syncthing, so why bother with joplin at all?
