Just a wannabe writer here. I've only ever strung a few paragraphs together, maybe an essay's worth occasionally. I used to work on blog posts in Evernote and I still use it for capturing stray thoughts. I use it as a place for ideas and that's exactly what happens. I never develop the idea, I just write down another one. Years ago I used Word, but thought maybe now there are apps better suited to the writing process. What do others use for an application/ platform?

Wonder how it compares to obsidian now ๐Ÿค”

Joplin was on my radar for a bit, but haven't thought much about it since I'm using obsidian.

The paid sync is kind of a rip off IMHO, but the CouchDB local sync works just fine. Plugin ecosystem is probably what gives me the largest number of niche features.

It's all markdown, I push it to a GitHub repo.

Obsidian is the gold standard for notes apps IMO. I don't see any reason to move to Joplin if you're using Obsidian.
