Ok basically what the title ask. There are so many note taking apps available and also the good old notepad, but, how do you take notes? What do you actually take-keep notes on? Is it like complicated things or simple ones?
All time times that I started using an app or a pen and paper intended up just using a simple reminder for things. Others I just remember.
Currently, poorly. I’m trying to pick up some Zettelkasten habits. I started to, using Logseq, and now I’m trying to switch to Org-roam.
This is pretty much ditto to my status. I loved logseq’s paradigm of easy linking and transclusion from the journal dumps.
Are you trying to do something similar with org-roam? I still haven’t figured out my way around with the org (roam) ecosystem
If by transclusion you mean hyperlinks & copypasta, then yes. I’m looking at using Zotero as well. I still haven’t really gotten the hang of Emacs, never mind org-mode or org-roam. It’s a lot. Too bad I didn’t pick up Emacs decades ago instead of vi.
Obsidian sync’d with my desktop PC, usually. Though also experimenting with doing the same with Orgro. Both on my phone. If I happen to be in front of my PC, just org-mode in emacs.
I use obsidian for just text stuff I need to remember later. If I need to do math or need a diagram temporarily I prefer pencil and paper. If I want to save diagrams for later I have a drawing tablet that I use like a whiteboard so that I can save and use layers. If you don’t have a drawing tablet Autodesk sketchbook is a decent substitute that can be used on your phone.
Selfhosting Joplin with my partner on our synolgy nas. Works great, not perfect but good enough.
The walk in the bathroom of my pub.
Did you get my message about me being there, and also that part where I questioned your mothers sexual decency?
where I questioned your mothers sexual decency?
Oh she doesn’t have any of that.
That’s really not fair to her. She was more than decent - banging, if you will.
Only if you’re a fan of four hundred pound swamp donkeys with webbed toes.
I happen to have a specific type sir, and I will not sit here and be shamed for it. Good day.
Notesnook FOSS and free tier is sufficient for me. I’ll subscribe if I can’t find a donate option.
Moved away from Joplin because it wasn’t a good fit for me. The Notesnook devs seem to fit my communication style better and the Notesnook app is beautiful and the fancy features don’t get in the way too much for me. Exports also make sense.
I use notally for things I read on my tablet or phone, it loads quick on older devices which is the main goal. Otherwise I just get out a document for more important notes.
I used to keep a text file in each project, with todo items at the top and a ‘done’ section at the bottom. File gets too big, start a new file.
Now I use a note taking program that stores markdown notes with links in between them. Kind of the same idea, mostly, some notes are to-do items and others are lists. I have about 10000 notes in there.
For digital notes I’m a big fan of plaintext in the basic notes app. Anything more and I get distracted trying to beautify it and my actual notes suffer for it :(
email and notepadd++ are the most common but sometimes a calendar.
On my tablet I use xournal++, and on my computer I use vim.
Nextcloud notes finally got good enough to replace google keep a while ago.
Been happily using that since.
I taught myself LaTeX in college and just hand typed notes during class in notepad++
LaTeX is great. Typst is good also, it trys to simplify what LaTeX does. https://typst.app/
An event or something I need to do on a specific time? Calendar app.
Something I need to do when I have time? The Simple Notes app has a handy widget which I havenon the phone homescreen to have it on my sight constantly to remember I have stuff that needs doing.
Anything else I use Quillpad for.
Silverbullet or Trillium Notes
