I got excited then for OneNote on Linux (Kubuntu) but a quick search suggests it's only available with a few hacky kludges and WINE?
There is OneNote online, it's a little slimmed down from the desktop app though.
we've adopted something similar at work where we've necessitated that all support related questions be asked through https://www.discourse.org/ . This allows the most timely solutions to surface to the top and if a question hasn't been asked before it gets thrown into a slack channel where a subject matter expert can answer it. Making this one change has monumentally reduced the support burden of our teams.
I am starting a new venture and will use BookStackApp ( https://www.bookstackapp.com ) as my single source of truth. It is searchable, offers markdown and WYSIWYG editing, page templates, and is quite opinionated on how to layout things. My reasoning for this is to layout basic templates and processes for sales, support, ops, and office management. This is also used to lay a foundation for ISO 27001/27002 compliance…
Also seems like it is real open source : )
(Trying the demo was a bit confusing, but that might be because there is a lot happening around me at the moment.)
Public and private Git repos of markdown files that sync to Dropbox, so; - I can use my IDE in desktop to search / change them. - On iOS, iA Writer can access to markdown files - I get PRs to my public notebook because it’s on Github: https://github.com/azer/notebook - The format and tooling are unlimited. Images, sound files, jupyter notebooks, everything fits - It’s not binded to a product or protocol. I have freed…
Just curious - why do we need to sync to Dropbox if they are already hosted in a Git repo?
I have a personal "knowledge base" that is publicly available at https://maxmasnick.com/kb/ . This is partially inspired by Chris Albon's excellent data science technical notes: http://chrisalbon.com . I find it very helpful to have this kind of information on a public website. It's easy to search myself, quick to edit[^1], and helpful for sharing with others when someone asks me a question. For notes I don't want to…

I am impressed. Whenever I try to build a tree of thoughts, I run into the problem that I want things to fall under multiple categories. I might start by classifying them according to subject area (as you have done), but then I might want a collection of those notes to also fall under "could help with project X" or "would be of interest to person Y" or "can be learned from reference Z" or any number of things.

How do you backup OneNote? The link to where you explain it is broken: http://protips.maxmasnick.com/backing-up-onenote-notebooks You mentioned it as being a critical feature but from what I've been reading, it's pretty complex and tricky due to it's weird syncing rules and relationship with OneDrive. The only decent solution requires a Windows version. See: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/good…
My former team used Confluence and Google Docs for knowledge sharing and found that it worked great for planning projects, but fell short for things that change quickly or are relevant for only a short period of time - code commands, debugging tips, meeting takeaways.
We relied on slack and personal notes for these tidbits which resulted in the information being difficult to find.
This experience inspired us to start Bytebase, the byte-size knowledge base for engineering teams.
Everything in Bytebase is a "byte" - a short chunk of information - not a document, and bytes can be composed of other bytes.
Bytebase makes it easy to capture and share bytes using a shortcut-heavy UX that feels familiar to engineers.
Would love any feedback or ideas. Email me (cara@bytebase.io) to get access to the closed beta with HN in the subject line.

Bytebase looks super straight forward and minimalist, I wish you the best of luck in improving this space!
