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 @hopland I use Joplin for several years, mainly on the Desktop.
On my Android device, it is also quite fast.
The Android draw function has an undo Option, but you are right for the Android mobile Text Editor there is an undo feature missing.
In the note history, there you can disable the geographical option, so the app will not ask for.
@tuxfanmatze @bammerlaan you know, when I use my #GNOME laptop - I have a nvim markdown layout with a keyboard shortcuts, but to me #apostrophe is my go to #desktop #app for #markdown.
Anything "distractionless" and I'm there.
I want to be just me and the keyboard. Full-screen that bugger, draw some tea and let the brain bleed. For creative writing it's the bees knees.
@hopland @tuxfanmatze Would it work to synchronize those with android using Syncthing, you think? I think I should start looking for another note solution myself, since the syncing of Joplin just isn't doing what it want.
@bammerlaan @tuxfanmatze with Apostrophe it's largely just md files (or txt files) that you maintain in your own folder hierarchy.
In regards to #QuillPad and #OpenNote, both maintain their files inside a database that you'll have to export from. So you sort of need the app to get at the content it makes.
You could however synchronize OpenNote with NextCloud and QuillPad with FileDAV.
@bammerlaan@mastodon.nl@hopland @tuxfanmatze Maybe using my own folder hierarchy isn't so bad—That's how I've been organising my music collection for years.
Oh, but then, searching for stuff within notes will work less well 
I'll have to give this some more thought
