What are you using right now? and What’s the one thing you like and don’t like about it?
Anytype, because they have a native mobile app
Unsaved notepad++ tabs.
I feel seen.

This is the way.
Google Keep .
Pros: Works well across multiple devices. Never lost a note yet.
Cons: Limited formatting. Never know if it will end up in the Google Graveyard one day.
Joplin
I like being able to use markdown, put images, pdfs, and videos straight into my notes and view them there.
There’s nothing I don’t really like about it. I wish it did more things like:
- easily reference git PRs/GitHub issues
- watch a folder for changes and add everything to a note (there’s a plugin for this but it doesn’t work very ad-hoc)
- watch the clipboard/Windows snipping tool (this is supposed to be a folder but I can’t find it) for images and add them
- timestamp changes
- export everything in a good format to track with git
I use LogSeq at work. I have a lot of meetings, making a lot of notes and it’s just so easy to put all of them into the right hashtags/topic/whatever. When used right, it really needs 0 extra organisational work. It’s also really future-proof, easy to sync and also works on mobile.
Can you point to a tutorial or guide to using logseq right? Where’d you learn how best to use it?
+1 i just switched from Obsidian and I think logseq logic clicks more with my thought process (block notes vs page focus). Awesome application!
Mine is going to sound funny. I’ve been working a long time and have literally decades of saved email in a structure that works for me. So when I take notes I do it as an email to myself.
Obsidian. It’s just so good. The only sad thing is - it’s not open source.
