   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.

   If the devs will keep developing this app it could be the biggest competitor for Evernote.

   Notion is not just a note taking app, it's also a database mananger, Joplin does not come close.

   Not as feature-packed as Notion but a lot faster. It uses a very similar approach to organizing and structuring content.

   Notion is a bit over-engineered, things get messy really fast. It's okay for a single user, while Nuclino shines as a team tool.
