Project 1: Making voice typing better for everyone

Joplin is partnering with a French government institution to bring you innovative new features! We will work on accessibility, voice typing, HTR and add Rocketbook integration. Today I'll present the planned improvements to voice typing:

Right now, voice input works pretty well, but there’s one thing that still needs improvement: punctuation. Our current system is accurate, but it doesn’t pick up on things like commas or periods, which can make spoken text harder to understand. That...

What kind of list-based plugin would you like to see?

I'm having a look again at this feature:

https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/5389

The goal is to allow plugins to manage and render the note list. For example, we could imagine a plugin that renders thumbnails of the notes, or one that display the notes in a tabular format.

Those are just examples but I was wondering, if you are a plugin developer or user, what list-based plugin wo...

If there is enough space, the button labels will be shown in full:

What should we assign Ctrl+P to?

Ctrl+P in Joplin is currently assigned to the command Palette (also known as GotoAnything), and we're considering using that shortcut for Printing instead, as is more common. What should we do??

Here we are in Lyon at the JdLL!

Meet us at stand 22 of the "Journées Du Logiciel Libre", 2nd floor, Salle Rancy, 249 rue Vendôme Lyon.

We are waiting for you to exchange and if you wish to leave with some Joplin goodies!

Joplin will participate in JdLL 2023!

On 1 and 2 April 2023, we will have a stand for Joplin at the Journées du Logiciel Libre in Lyon, France. The JdLL has been taking place in Lyon for 24 years and is a popular open source conference in France. We had a stand in 2020 and 2021 but that was cancelled due to Covid, so this year is a first for Joplin!

Admission is free, so don't hesitate to come and meet us, exchange ideas and learn more about Joplin!
