Joplin

An open source note taking and to-do application with synchronisation capabilities.
- Oh come on who added Joplin as alternative to Notion? haha :D Joplin is very far behind what Notion offers. Joplin don't have a tree organization structure, don't have nodes, blocks, properties, custom properties, todo, list, tasks, wiki, calendar, node links, templates, icons, etc. Joplin is just a simple note taken app nothing more. Notion allow you all I mention, you can plan track your projects, life and more. Johxz • Jul 2020 • 11 agrees and 6 disagrees

- User-friendly Is a Must! Evernote has folders and I can preview my notes before 'opening' them, so to speak. The clean white background with the Green logo makes for a nice visual. An alternative to Notion? It well may be. I think Evernote looks better when sharing notes/lists/to-do-lists. That clean background, logo and all, shows up in the recipient's email. striblingthurmangroup • Mar 2019 • 0 agrees and 6 disagrees

limit free plan 1000 block storage
> a block is any single piece of content you add your page, like a to-do item, an image, a code block, an embedded file, etc. think of your page as being made up of these bulding blocks. 1000 is plenty yo get you started. create at your own pace without a time limit

Free users have a limit of 1,000 blocks.
That's as generous as Evernote's 60mb upload limit.
I'm impressed.

pqrstuv · Feb 2020

Hello. I'd like to know if your "I'm impressed" is ironic or not. (I'm thinking about switching from Evernote to Notion.) Thanks.

edwardwong · Mar 2020

Notion is way much more flexible and versatile than Evernote. Check out the videos on YouTube. Another tip regarding the 1000 block limit : Each workspace has its own 1000 block limit. So you could have multiple workspaces to manage even more stuff (eg. I have one for work, one for personal, and another for special projects, etc.). But in the event I break my 1000 block limit, I would gladly pay for the subscription, it's just that good.
