That was the reason why I gave up Joplin very quickly. The last Joplin thread, here on Hacker News, has also shown once again that some still do not understand why "But Joplin can export Markdown from the database!" is not the same as simple, flat Markdown files.

Last time I used Joplin (many years ago) it stored notes as flat Markdown notes with YAML headers. I stop it using because it gave me lots of headaches and at the end of the day your favorite file browser + your favorite text editor is a far superior solution than a jack of all trades that excels at none. My notes stack is neovim + fzf + git.

Yeah, that's also why I dropped it. Got too complicated when I wanted to start linking my notes into my work timesheets.

May I ask what you switched to? Running into the same issue.

Not OP but Obsidian (as mentioned) and Logseq are both good options.

On desktop, my favorite text editor plus my favorite file browser. On Android, Markor.

Obsidian is what I stuck with after seriously trying 10+ notetaking apps.

It has native clients for Linux, Android, and all files are plain MD.

I can freely sync everything with third party apps. Total freedom.

Not OP, but I switched to notable which also uses plain markdown.

I use Obsidian and Markdownload (a Browserplugin).
