I've been using Typora to make todo lists, and keep notes. It also has markdown, and I can do checkboxes with it quite easily, and add large titles, and horizontal lines. I just save all related todo's and notes into a folder. When I open a single note, it lists in the left pane all the other notes in that folder. So for example, I have a todo folder. And a file for each day of the week. If I open Monday, it lists al…

What features would you like in your ideal one?
Let me join the conversation, since it's a good opportunity to think about it. For me it would be: * Open-source, self-hosted * Storing the data in some very plain format, as long as it doens't conflict with other features. In fact, I'd wish for it to be plain markdown in individual files on the disk, but (aside from performance problems) I don't imagine it being fully possible. So I'm not sure where the right balanc…

#74Two questions:
1. Any plans to support OCR processing similar to Evernote?
2. Any plans on offering a paid service for syncing the encrypted notes to? I'll gladly pay $5 / mo for a more secure, open source Evernote if it means I don't have to manage my own server.

#75Does this support maths notation? E.g. Latex code interpreted with Katex or MathJax, or WYSIWYG with MathQuill. I see there may be relevant CKEditor plugins. Could these be used?
It seems pretty great, but there's no code available as far as I can tell.

One feature I’m sorely missing in pretty much all note taking apps is proper citation/reference handling. As in, working with actual bibliography indexes.
But, it reminds me, there also must be a way to easily link one note to the other you wrote. Which isn't always available.

#77I personally use Zim [0] at work, which is pretty dependable, extensible and mature. Zim also builds a personal knowledge base with exports, so you can learn from its approaches I think.
However, I personally don't prefer to use electron applications, so Trillium is not a real candidate for me, sorry. Wish it wasn't on Electron, so I'd try it.

#78I wish somebody would write a good comparative review of all the note-taking, information organization and outlining apps... I'm in constant search of the one that would actually suit my preferences. Perhaps this is the one (but chances are it's not). Let's take a look...
I have made something like that [1] for my note-taking app. It doesn't currently include Trillium though, and it may be skewed towards the features I'm personally interested in, but if somebody would like to help make it better I'm all ears. [1] https://github.com/fabiospampinato/notable#comparison

#79Is there a shortcut to create a new folder? It seems really difficult, or I am just missing it?
