Many of you probably know Joplin (the FOSS Markdown note-taking app)…

Just want to mention that Joplin has recently released an update on Android that brings a killer feature.

You can now draw within Joplin. This adds images to your markdown document and you can edit them later.

I have waited a long time for this and am happy, it’s finally there.

Now, I can get rid of “Samsung Notes”.

(You can draw by clicking the 3 dots at the top right and choosing “Draw picture”. To edit an existing one, just click once on it and press the pencil icon)

    It seems like you misunderstand what Joplin is? Or I misunderstand what you are saying… I don’t know…

    Joplin is a note taking app that fully works on markdown. You can use it on your local PC, but you can also synchronize the notes over devices.

    Joplin is hosting the image on the user’s instance - you’re in feddit.de, so it uploads to feddit.de.

    Joplin and Lemmy have nothing to do with each other. I have just taken a screenshot of the rendered markdown document in my Joplin app, switched to my web browser, opened feddit.de and posted the screenshot in this community.

    If you want to say that using Joplin just to draw and post pictures somewhere, would be a bad idea… Yes, that’s right. But it’s primarily a note-taking app, so that’d be expected… And usually, the notes are private and nothing you want to regularly post online…

    Meanwhile, the old reddit app I used to use (Relay) would upload to imgur, all seemlessly in the background, then paste the link code in my comment. This kind of functionality is what I would like to see.

    I’m generally against hosting files on instances, anyway. It creates extra server load.

    Well, Lemmy is a decentralized system. Hosting all image resources on a centralized service (imgur) is probably not what the majority wants…

      Yeah I’ve realised that now hah. I thought it was a lemmy client. Complete brain fart on my part, sorry.

      I’m not talking about the majority, though, I’m talking about an app picking a 3rd party image host rather than relying on the user’s instance. Ideally such a lemmy client could have options on where to host things, if the developer was willing to cater to multiple APIs.
