Every time I see a post like this on HAN I think of this guy... https://www.flickr.com/photos/hawkexpress/sets/7215759420049...

Wow, that's amazing. I've been following the GTD related space since I first got on IRC (about 15 years ago) and find more analog solutions (Hipster PDA etc.) so fascinating, but this one really wins.

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...

I've tried many times to switch to OneNote, but the clipper often fails to capture pages. That rarely happens with Evernote.

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!

The same goes for Moleskine !

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.

You may like Dynalist.io which is inspired by Workflowy. I never used the latter but I really like the former.

Moleskin are more widely available. I was at Target last night and they had a very large selection.

Blank copy paper is available everywhere. Get yourself a tacker and maybe a cardboard in the right format. When done, remove the tacks, scan it, and upload your notes to your cloud.

Wow, this looks amazing, thanks for the suggestion.

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've been looking into Org mode recently, but, having never used Org mode or Emacs, I'm finding it a bit overwhelming.

I also use Keep and agree it's not ideal. Would be nice to easily export all the notes to file. Would be even nicer if could store and make changes to notes on local filesystem and have them sync to cloud, google drive style.

As a tip, Google Takeout lets you export the notes as HTML files. Not really useful for syncing or integration, but serves as backup, at least.

That is useful, thanks!

In my country Moleskine is available in local book shop, while others I have to order online, pay shipping and then it’s almost double the price. Not worth it imho. I am not caring about brand, I use what is most functional to me.
