Has anyone migrated from a Markdown notes app to another? (reddthat.com)

Hey,

I'm using Joplin (a Markdown note taking app) and think about migrating to Logseq because of multiple reasons.

The main problems I have not yet solved:

  1. OSS-Syncing Logseq notes between Desktop OS and Android. Logseq does not have an OSS selfhostable sync-server like Joplin has...
  2. Making sure to transform my stuff, so that Logseq can work with it. Yes, it's both Markdown, but especially images and how Joplin handles them seem to be a problem for this migration.

What are your experiences? Have you ever switched between 2 Markdown note taking apps?

  • Which ones?
  • How well went it?

Is it maybe even possible to use app 1 and a Desktop OS and a totally different app on Android simultaneously on the same data? The common standard is Markdown...

I used to do that, but eventually found out about https://silverbullet.md/ it's still just markdown files but I can edit them on the go with my phone.

Plus it has some nice extra syntax to query documents that's quite handy.

    @Nibodhika this looks very interesting. so I can import all my existing markdown notes and vice versa?

    Yup, just drop the markdown files in the folder where Silverbullet stores the markdown files and they're accessible. BTW the format to reference a file is [[path/to/file]] and you can reference inexistent files and they will get created when you navigate to them.
