I’m playing with Joplin as a writing and note-taking app. Is there a way to publish a Joplin note, including images, to Micro.blog?
That’s entirely up to Joplin, but I don’t see anything on the Joplin docs or plugin page to suggest it can publish to the web via Micropub or XML-RPC, the two standard-based APIs that Micro.blog supports.
I draft longer posts in Joplin. When they’re done, I manually paste the Markdown from the Joplin note into Micro.blog. Not particularly sophisticated, but it had been working fine until now.[¹]
Joplin has very limited export functionality (its proprietary JEX, MD, HTML, and PDF). I also don’t think anything will change there, because I strongly suspect that everything else is out of scope.
There is a plugin repository for Joplin. There are a few export tools there, but not for the protocols that @jsonbecker mentioned.
Maybe it’s possible using a Markdown export and a third‑party tool.
[¹]: Today was the first time I experienced issues. Micro.blog failed to render the Markdown. I have no clue what the cause might be.
I don’t know whether I will stick with Joplin. Probably not. Limited export is a big obstacle for me.
If you just want to self-host your notes, Joplin paired with a Joplin Server as the backend is an appealing choice. I like that this setup lets you share notebooks with other Joplin users and publish individual notes.
As a basis for integration with other platforms, I consider Joplin unsuitable.
