I'm not convinced that JS is any better than what it has replaced.

10 years ago it might have been Flash or Java web applets or whatever. However, it would seem that 'the modern web' is the now popular standard. Joplin is more of a note taking system that allows ingesting content from the web into one's own local notebook, which is relevant to what the GP post was talking about - Evernote. WARC/MHT and other solutions can do this. This is solving a different problem though. So it will be nicer if they can download the bookmarked pages and store in a local html, css, image folder. I have seen Firefox and Chrome can download web pages. It definitely isn't the best of all possible note taking systems that could ever exist, but it's the best open source one I've found so far, and I don't have time to write a better one at the moment. Joplin is open source, which is a big part of the sell to me. Markdown is not a specification as each site implements their own markdown directives unlike restructuredtext specification and most of the parsers and tooling are little different from each other. So the only thing in this article I will change is that content can also be in rst format and then generate html from it. Personally I like restructuredText as the preferred format for content as its a complete specification and plain text. Use a static site generator which can generate a plain html, like static site generators built on pandoc, python docutils or similar. I think it's pretty easy to achieve.Īlso people need to move away from those esoteric reactjs, angular, vuejs and plethora of CMS as API or static site generators relying on some js framework which won't last even 2-3 years. No need of proprietary code and apps why not build it into browsers.
