Some software doesn’t conform to standards that allow easy packaging. Or it may not meet other Fedora standards, despite being free and open source. COPR can offer these projects outside the Fedora set of packages. Software in COPR isn’t supported by Fedora infrastructure or signed by the project. However, it can be a neat way to try new or experimental software.</p>
<p>Here’s a set of new and interesting projects in COPR.</p>

<h3>Joplin</h3>
<p><a href="https://joplin.cozic.net/">Joplin</a> is a note-taking and to-do app. Notes are written in the Markdown format, and organized by sorting them into various notebooks and using tags.<br />Joplin can import notes from any Markdown source or exported from Evernote. In addition to the desktop app, there’s an Android version with the ability to synchronize notes between them — using Nextcloud, Dropbox or other cloud services. Finally, there’s a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox to save web pages and screenshots.</p>
