  • @[email protected] I have a genuine doubt and I swear if you convince me I will pay for Notesnook because I really wanted to pay for it a while ago.

    I used Notesnook for a long time but I used it before they made the basic (unpaid) version more restrictive, where you couldn’t even put a code block without being asked to pay, but before that and after I have used Joplin + Nextcloud and I can say it’s reasonably good but what I don’t like about Joplin is that it doesn’t have background sync, do you happen to know if Notesnook has background sync or if they plan to?

    And another doubt, something I love about Joplin is that I create a notebook and I can create a notebook inside that notebook, but in Notesnook I don’t remember being able to do that and that is something uncomfortable for me. I mean, in my case let’s say I have a notebook called Windows without any notes, it’s just like a base to know where my other notes are organized and inside that notebook I create other notebooks that are where I actually write my notes, for example, I create a notebook called “CLI Programs”, “Open Source Programs”, “Closed Source Programs” and everything is organized in a very comfortable way because inside the Windows notebook I have those other notebooks, and then I create a Linux Notebook and do the same, but in Notesnook I can’t do that, how would you do that for example in Notesnook? I know I could just create a notebook called “Open Source Programs - Linux” and then another one called “Open Source Programs - Windows” but I really feel that would be a mess for the view, what I like about Joplin is that I can sort my notebooks inside others in a tree style. In my case, within “CLI Programs” each note is equivalent to a separate CLI program with its description and images, and I remember I had tried to replicate that in Notesnook by creating a single giant note called “Programs” where I mixed the different categories but it was a disaster honestly.
