So I'm testing #markdown #apps for #Android, looking for something that will allow me to write freely.
So far one of my criteria is not met, and that's a selector that can give a word count. That is, only the word count of the selected text and not the entire document.
I want to be able to write threads in a more constructive way, so if you have a recommendation (preferably from #fdroid) that does what I need, I'd be much obliged.
@hopland Have you also tried Joplin? How does it compare with the other options you've listed here?
I'm pretty happy with it, but I'm combining its filesystem sync with Syncthing, and that's not really working very well. Syncs *very* slowly on my tablet.
@bammerlaan as a #markdown #note taker and #editor, #joplinapp seems fine, but with a few caveats.
There are no readily available undo and redo buttons, the image note taking took a long time to save and the first thing I saw when opening a note was a request for location data... that kind of rubs me the wrong way.
But it's got notebooks and it's got tags - and weirdly enough, a plugin system? Like if they redo this app in modern design with optimization, it'll definitely be a contender.
@bammerlaan note though, I'm looking for a markdown editor for writers - that is creative and constructive writing that allows someone to write effectively, creatively and productively.
Certain things that prohibit the flow of thought or the free writing process instantly deducts some points.
But as a note taker, it's aight.
@hopland I forgot to mention it before, but another reason for me to use Joplin is that it works on desktops, too. Is that something you use, too? One Joplin plugin I use allows for making templates, which is pretty convenient. Didn't work on Android last I tried it, though.
