Ask HN: What software do you use to take notes? • Hacker News Board

It replicates the core interaction model of Notational Velocity: type to fuzzy-filter the list of notes (sorted by MRU) by filename, enter to edit the notes, and quit the editor to end up back in the list of notes.

I forked selecta to add those flags - --passthrough means that the text typed in to filter is emitted on stdout if it doesn't match anything. This way you create a note if it doesn't exist.

Onenote. For me the killer feature is the ability to put text wherever i want, and move it later, i just click where i want to write in the page and type, it really changed the way i take note, it feel more natural and more close to the "paper experience". i tried opensource solution, but all the one i found allow only for "linear" note taking, witch is ok if i need to take a quick note, but if i need to "prototype"…

As a college student I hooked up a microphone (A tiny shotgun mic) and the audio would sync with my notes. It was simply amazing. As a librarian I bought OneNote for the whole student body and taught every freshman for 1.5 hours on how to use it. Less then 2 dozen students said at the end of the year they used it. I no longer purchased OneNote. People are strange.

i also used a lot at school, for me it was amazing. the only pain point for me was drawing diagram, for me graphwiz is the only sane way to do it

Google Keep http://keep.google.com/

I use it for shopping list with my wife. It is awesome for that one feature.

Have you tried wunderlist? My partner and I have a shared shopping list that we both can populate and finish items from—offers a bit more structure and to-do type item features than Keep.
