Absolutely off topic here — what has your experience with Joplin been, if you don’t mind me asking?
I recently tried to migrate to Joplin from an amalgamation of notes apps (including Standard Notes, via an ENEX converter in between). I really wanted to love it, but it proved to be unusably slow. I think it might have been my WebDAV service, but replacing it wasn’t a project I was interested in. That was with about 3,000 notes, so I’m not sure if my experience is typical.
I have a bit less notes, about 2700, and the only complaint I have is that the mobile app is a bit sluggish when you open it and it starts to sync, other than that I'm quite content with it. I use it on 6 devices that are a mix of Android/Linux/Windows and my sync is nice and snappy (I use a self hosted Joplin Server as the sync backend). It used to take forever when I used the folder based syncing (with Syncthing for inter device syncing), but with Joplin Server it's MUCH faster.
Do you have OCR enabled for your images within Joplin settings? I tried that a while back on a work instance and it REALLY slowed things down. I've been hesitant about enabling it on my home instance.
