Favorite Note Taking Tool
I just read the article "the fall of roam" here on HN. The author talks about abandoning the ROAM app- I abandoned it after an hour of use. Question; whats your favorite way to take notes- and how often do you revisit them? I don't know if self hosting is an option for you, but recently I deployed Trilium (https://github.com/zadam/trilium) on a personal server. It's really easy to set up with docker and I'm amazed at the wealth of features. I use it on desktop and mobile too without issues. Thanks. I'll have to try that again. When it came out, I had problems installing it. Standard Notes. Can't recommend it enough. Does one thing well, and uses encryption unlike other offerings like Evernote. I revisit it every two weeks or so to make sure I executed on my TODO lists. I'm often surprised at how much I manage to get done in two weeks. I tried standard notes. That app.image kept crashing on opensuse. not sure what the deal was. It looks great. I had really high hopes for it. pencil paper + google keep ( because of OCR ) taskpaper for notes and todos https://www.taskpaper.com/ Thanks. I went to Taskpaper and realized it was mac app- I work on Linux. That looks cool though. Logseq: https://logseq.com/ Never seen this one. I'll give it a shot. Although, I find the constellation mapping next to useless. A good notebook and pen. always the best option. So how do we sole that digital divide between what makes a pen and paper great and the next note taking app? pencil & paper for specific contexts, I like obsidian I WANTED to like notion... but capturing notes on the go from mobile is unpleasant and you can't check your notes if you lose internet access... Thanks I tried Obsidian when it came out and had the same issue I had with roam- I dont see the payoff for all the convoluted ways you need to enter notes. I'm curious, what were your use cases for obsidian?
