Why is the note app "Joplin" not official package in Manjaro repos?

Please read before requesting the addition of a package to the Manjaro repos:

Be aware: unless there’s an obvious need (or e.g. the package is unique) the answer will probably be “no”, and especially so if it’s already in the AUR.

Maintaining packages take a lot of time. Adding a package is not a one-off event and requires work by the package maintainer. Therefore, unless the package maintainer uses the software it’s very unlikely they will maintain a new package.

General points “for” inclusion might include:

• Serves unique function/use-case
• Adds a definite benefit to a wide range of users
• Actively maintained but infrequent updates
• I use it

General points “against” inclusion might include:

• Another alternative already available in the repos (e.g. browsers, media players)
• Niche (e.g. scientific software)
• Proprietary or restrictive license
• Old, outdated, unmaintained, AUR package
• High-frequency/daily updates (e.g. -git packages)
• Unreleased/pre-release software
