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!

        Mmm, not really? This is what i get by opening a “d8c18c2732b5476c932be62a292750f8.md” file from my Joplin storage folder:

        id: d8c18c2732b5476c932be62a292750f8 parent_id: 661a69f5c0df4c7fb1a2bf0657f0e198 item_type: 1 item_id: e66b22624674439582bfd11582e0e1db item_updated_time: 1705987325033 title_diff: “[]” body_diff: “[{"diffs":[[0,"/Spaces\\n"],[1,"\\nNotesnook.com\\n"]],"start1":119,"start2":119,"length1":8,"length2":23}]” metadata_diff: {“new”:{},“deleted”:[]} encryption_cipher_text: encryption_applied: 0 updated_time: 2024-01-23T05:22:05.194Z created_time: 2024-01-23T05:22:05.194Z type_: 13

        not really human readable to me (yes, readable, but…)

          I didn’t realize Joplin saves in such an odd format. The filename is .md, but the format is something proprietary.

          What’s weird is a few of my notes don’t look like that. They look like normal Markdown. But most look just like yours.
