Joplin Notes: Open Source Notes Without Lock-In [YouTube Release]

Additional Resources:

Joplin is an open-source, local-first note-taking app that gives you control over your data, your sync, and your workflow.

In this video, I walk through Joplin’s core features, including sync and hosting options, self-hosting the Joplin Server, sharing, plugins, and how Joplin supports both Markdown and WYSIWYG editing. I also cover why Joplin works well for practical note organization without locking you into a SaaS platform.
