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)

    Thanks! I haven’t heard of Joplin and I’ve been experimenting with ut this throughout the week. I love the math and flowchart plugins!

    I’m willing to try this as my definitive note-taking app!!

    Though, the feature of “Draw picture” is not available. Did you enable it somewhere? What version are you using? I have 2.12.3

      Nice.

      The draw feature is actually only available if installed via FDroid so far, because FDroid contains pre releases. They plan to release it everywhere this month.

      I have 2.13.10 installed via FDroid.

        oh, okay! heard a lot about FDroid in these (mainly FOSS) circles, but haven’t given it a go yet. What other apks have you found useful?

        I’ll be looking out for the next Joplin update, thanks!

          Do you mean, what I installed via FDroid?

          Aegis Authenticator, DavX5, Element for Matrix, KeePassDX, Nextcloud synchronozation client, omWeather, OsmAnd (open source navigation), Simple Calendar Pro, Vlc Player, Voyager for Lemmy

          FDroid makes it easy to find the Open source version of all tge types of apps…
