#72Sublime Text. I find taking notes for me to be more about slowing my thought process down in order to zero in on issues I'm thinking through. At work we use Teamwork to organize our projects, so usually if there's something I'm working on for a client or a coworker, I'll transcribe parts of my notes into our teamwork project. Teamwork also lets you add tasks, notes, files, links, etc. We can one off people to each project, so that they can review anything we've added for their review.

#74When I used to use Windows, I used OneNote[0] a lot! (I had over 20 notebooks with multiple sections and pages in each section).

It's sad that in 2016, there's no nexus type tablet running android (with updates) that has pen support :/

The problem, I find, is that nothing beats the flexibility of being able to take out multiple sheets of paper and move them around, annotate them, put them back in. It creates a flexi…
I do all my thinking on paper, but I have a large blocker at the moment: indexing my notes. Have you found a good solution for this?
My non-novel solution - number every other page, and keep a few pages up in the front as an index. Topic on the left, and a list of page numbers on the right. Requires some effort to maintain, but it seems to work pretty well for me. Familiarity with the index pages counters the need for any sorting.

#78I use the note station app by synology. Granted, you need a synology NAS to use it, but it works offline, mobile, and desktop. And all your data lives on your own device.

#79Quiver is like Evernote if Evernote didn't suck. All it's missing is encryption. http://happenapps.com
