    That’s pretty much what I wanted from this. Time to try it out again once its ready. Is there a reason the app couldn’t just store notes in plain text as a standard? Sorry if that is a silly question, haven’t used Joplin much.

      The answer why Joplin actually shouldn’t rely on filesystem as its source of truth is twofold: Search and scalability

      Joplin can handle hundreds of thousands of notes and the search is pretty much instant. Relying on filesystem would defeat both of these features
