Many of you probably know Joplin (the FOSS Markdown note-taking app)…

Just want to mention that Joplin has recently released an update on Android that brings a killer feature.

You can now draw within Joplin. This adds images to your markdown document and you can edit them later.

I have waited a long time for this and am happy, it’s finally there.

Now, I can get rid of “Samsung Notes”.

(You can draw by clicking the 3 dots at the top right and choosing “Draw picture”. To edit an existing one, just click once on it and press the pencil icon)

    Looks pretty interesting, but I’m a macOS/Android user - a combination they don’t seem to support, plus I’d much rather a self-hosted solution for syncing. I’m trying to reduce my dependence on cloud services.

      Fair enough, though the app is stand-alone. AFAIK there’s no sync function (I’m iOS/Windows). The files are local and export is to whatever filesystem is on the device (iOS allows any connected cloud service).

      Try Obsidian, their canvas option is very similar. They have a paid sync option, but the app itself is free to use, and allows community plugins. I use one called Obsidian Livesync with my own self-hosted couchDB container. I share a vault with my partner and it syncs (mostly) flawlessly between iOS, Android, Windows and Linux. I haven’t personally used it on macOS, but it is supported as well.

        I’m sure it’s good - my earlier point (two replies up) was that my basic requirements (self-hosted, Android/macOS sync) are already met by Joplin, and I can now draw in the Android version.
