I 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.

Sort of related. Does anyone know of any note apps that will let you select and area of web page, and drag it into the note. I just want easily make a scrap book of relevant info from web pages I visit. The solution I know of, Screen shot, saving, loading, and so on has too many steps. I just want something that will let me select and drag into the note. And that will look exactly like I see on the webpage. Bonus, if…

Evernote has a browser plugin that does exactly this.

StandardNotes is an OSS note taking app. The Plus Editor can accept pastes from a web page with styling and whatnot.

Onenote has a webclipper extension which works similarly.

Does 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?

Two popular note taking apps which do this are Dropbox Paper and Notion.so, but they only support inline math. A niche app that does both is Gitbook but they’re a newer company and I’m not sure about personal plans.

Edit: I should add neither of these support code execution. I would really love if someone could point to a Wikipedia / knowledge base composed of Jupyter notebooks but have the functionality inverted — primarily focused on note taking and secondarily on code execution.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

A good, fully-featured note-taking application is incredibly complex.

One of the nice things about writing your own note-taking application is that it doesn't have to either good or fully-featured. It just has to do the job better than any existing solution.

It just has to do the job better for you than....
