Joplin is open source, which is a big part of the sell to me.

Markdown is not a specification as each site implements their own markdown directives unlike restructuredtext specification and most of the parsers and tooling are little different from each other. So the only thing in this article I will change is that content can also be in rst format and then generate html from it. Personally I like restructuredText as the preferred format for content as its a complete specification and plain text.

Use a static site generator which can generate a plain html, like static site generators built on pandoc, python docutils or similar. I think it's pretty easy to achieve.Īlso people need to move away from those esoteric reactjs, angular, vuejs and plethora of CMS as API or static site generators relying on some js framework which won't last even 2-3 years. So it will be nicer if they can download the bookmarked pages and store in a local html, css, image folder. I have seen Firefox and Chrome can download web pages. No need of proprietary code and apps why not build it into browsers.
