I use Joplin and I do like it very much, but I would like to be able to at least view (not edit) the notes from web browser… Which is not supported.

Are there good alternatives that are:

  • fully open source
  • have android client
  • have web client or viewer
  • can be synched VOA WebDAV or native method

I can also settle for a Joplin web viewer of sorts!

UPDATE: i opened up a can of worms. I would have never tought there would be so many tools for this task, and so many different shades of how it can be done. Even excluding ALL the non-truly-FOSS solutions out there, there are still tons of tools with good points and bad points. Of course, NONE fits my bill so i will spin mine… Joking, i have no time for that.

Using joplib-webview feels too much. Spinning containers just for that meh. Will try tough. The joplin .md files are only “sync” files, from which yo ucan probably extract the notes. But that would be not the best idea. Maybe some kind of link to Joplin terminal would be the way forward. I will see.

I will stay on Joplin, it’s the closest i could find to what i need, the only lacking is a web viewer, which i can live without for the time being after all.

Thank you all, and to anybody still chiming in!

    It’s a very different kind of beast, but I’m very much enjoying it so far. Linking things is definitely Joplin’s weak point whereas this is a core strength for logseq.

    I often used bullet points in my Joplin notes, so having that as the default works for me too. However, since Op has said they want plain text notes Obsidian seems like a better fit (although logseq does save pages as text it’s not what it feels like in use).
