I've been using Typora to make my todo lists recently. It's a markdown editor too. Super simple to type, and you can really got some professional looking layout, with headings and titles quickly too. Recently they built in a file browser. Open one file in a directory, and it will show you all the files in side panel. Which in my case are just todo lists for day of the week. But it could be any type of notes. Highly r…

That looks nice. Does it have keyboard shortcut with fuzzy searching to open other files in side panel?

Currently I am very happy with my note taking setup, it consists of 3 modules: 1. Black Moleskine notebook where I write down ideas, and explain myself some complicated code for example. I use it more as a "mind-organiser" if I may say so... 2. Emacs' org-mode, where I write down my dev. progress on weekly level, lay down monthly plans and goals and write down some of the random stuff that I like to order into lists.…

I love org-mode, though I struggle with emacs itself. Can you give me an example of how you layout your weekly org mode so that it interacts with beorg well? I've used the format for a year where each day was a heading: * Task1 with notes if needed Task2 and it does not work great with beorg.

You might also find org-journal [fn:1] interesting, if you commonly take date-stamped notes.

I honestly don't understand the hype. Why Moleskin and not one of the in general better Leuchtturm products? Anyway, I personally went back to those blank exercise books I used in school decades ago. But then, I also run Linux and not some overhyped Apple.

Wow, you are so cool cause you run Linux!

I use it more like Bullet journal with todos like this: * TODO (SCHEDULED: ) etc etc.

Yes, Evernote is pretty clunky but I’ve got a good 8 years of junk in in and that web clipper is a beast.

The web clipper is Evernote's core product. It hasn't been replicated commercially or in open source successfully.

I enjoy using OneNote's web clipper: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/onenote-web-clippe...

FWIW, I like grid-paper, so I use "graph-ruled" composition books.

Moleskin also make grid-paper and non-ruled notebooks. Personally I have seen the light and find that Moleskin paper is not the best. I switched to using Japanese paper. I'm left handed and Japan needs fast drying pens and paper. Here is a quick link to some of the brands I like with graph paper. https://www.jetpens.com/Pocket-Notebooks/ct/1668?&f=9e1b4fde... I just got a few of these and I am really happy with the q…

Yes, left-handed notebook nerds!

I'm a loyal Lleuchtturm user, but have been considering the Midori notebooks. How do they compare?

This looks very nice, well done. I'm surprised that nobody mentioned Workflowy in here, it's what I mainly use and found it fits my frame of mind the best. It's just infinitely recursive lists that let you zoom in on a particular subset. Next up on my list is learning Emacs + org mode to see how I like that.

I refuse to install any more Electron apps on my desktop.

Since the number of Electron apps probably isn't going to decline anytime soon, I think I can save you some work. I could write you a little application that scans HN a few times every day and if it finds a discussion about an Electron-based project it will post a comment letting everybody know that you won't be installing it because it uses Electron. If you are interested, let me know. I can knock it out in a day or…

Really made me laugh!
