This is not to single out that tool, since most cross-platform notetaking applications have the same problem or a similar permutation. Since Joplin does not have handwriting support, nor image embeds, nor file embeds. I use the multimedia and handwriting touch capabilities of my tablets and phones. Not everyone wants a thousands ways to integrate, publish whole websites, buy & sell, and create presentations using their notes app. For some tools this works out but for note taking apps I think it creates a huge void. Personal workflows are an afterthought, at best. I might be mistaken in my viewpoint however, of later I have noticed a huge trend toward providing user experiences that target a team workflow. Private & personal note taking is no longer the hype which, in my opinion, is really sad. they prioritize business focused note taking with features like collaborations, integrations etc. Nowadays, a lot of the modern note taking apps (Notion, Slite etc.) are focused on the 'enterprise user' i.e. Sounds weird to say 'replace Evernote' when Evernote is absolute shit (no offense) but one of the main reasons we went this route is because Evernote did one thing right: It made personal note taking approachable & actually fun. Shameless plug but for the past 2 years we have slowly been working to replace Evernote with Notesnook.
