Joplin 2.13 released with enhanced text editor, interoperability, and new Markdown editor

Joplin, a widely used open-source note-taking app, has just rolled out its version 2.13. The update introduces several enhancements to the Rich Text Editor, including the ability to embed various content within tables, such as lists and other tables.

Interoperability with other text editors, including Word and Excel, has been enhanced, particularly in terms of copying and pasting content between these applications and Joplin. Furthermore, the app's support for the Evernote Export format, or ENEX, has been refined and is now more stable.

Joplin's developers continue to refine the plugin API to simplify app customization. The update introduces support for note list plugins, allowing any plugins to determine what the list should display for each note. The imaging API was developed to enable plugin developers to load and manipulate images with ease. Additional APIs have been introduced, including one to open a dialog to select a file or folder and another to access plugin settings from a renderer script.

Joplin 2.13 also introduces a new Markdown editor based on CodeMirror 6, paving the way for the use of the same editor on both desktop and mobile platforms. The integration of the js-draw editor into the mobile app is another key feature of this version. Js-draw, a robust freehand drawing library, enables drawing using a pen, touch screen, or mouse.

The mobile version's configuration screen has also been overhauled. It is now sectioned off into clearly titled segments, and users can search for settings via the built-in search option.

I recently switched to Obsidian, but Joplin is making me think of switching yet again. These updates are excellent.

Scratch that: just remembered one of the main reasons I don't use Joplin. - It renames/names your files in some random non-human-readable names. Makes those files pretty dysfunctional outside of joplin. . This is why Obsidian, despite being closed-source, has so many users - you can edit your files in any other app without worry. That and, more out-the-box features, a far better-looking and customisable UI, one-to-one experience on mobile and desktop, and... way more useful and usable plugins. . All the same, I'm glad the Joplin team are making progress toward a universally awesome app.
