That's pretty much what I wanted from this. Time to try it out again once its ready. Is there a reason the app couldn't just store notes in plain text as a standard? Sorry if that is a silly question, haven't used Joplin much.
The answer why Joplin actually shouldn't rely on filesystem as its source of truth is twofold: Search and scalability
Joplin can handle hundreds of thousands of notes and the search is pretty much instant. Relying on filesystem would defeat both of these features
Ah, I see. Didn't think of it on that scale, makes sense. Thanks!
Why? Can't you just use an index?
Also, I haven't got near that but obsidian seems fast and stores notes as plain markdown.
