History edit
Joplin is named after the ragtime composer and pianist, Scott Joplin.[3]
Laurent Cozic started work on Joplin in 2016,[4] and the first Android version was released on 28 July 2017.
The first public desktop application release was version 0.10.19, on 20 November 2017.[5][6][7]
A Web Clipper[8] for Chrome was introduced in December 2017 and the Firefox extension was released in May 2018.
A new Joplin Cloud service was introduced in 2021,[9] along with an on-premises Joplin Server application. Both products can be used to sync notes, to-dos, notebooks and note data across devices, as well as share notes or notebooks with other Joplin users, or even publish content to the web.
