#52I used to be obsessed with trying new note taking apps, but I've been the happiest and most productive using Vim and Markdown on my laptop synced via Syncthing to my phone and editing with Markor. I've used Vim for as long as I could program, so I am embarrassed that it took me so long to set this up (a few months ago) but I finally don't care about note taking apps. Edit: sometimes I print my notes and for that I us…
Me to, then I just stopped. The enabling moment came when I found a free app that backs up Apple Notes in a portable format. I use the iCloud.com web app on my Linux laptops to access notes, and on my copious Apple devices, the Notes app is easy to use. Some sad history: I spent years carefully making notes and organizing material in Evernote but realized that I spent much more time curating material than ever using…
Can you share that app that backs up Apple Notes?

#56For what it’s worth (and maybe I’m just dumb). It took me a lot of scrolling to realize they weren’t selling hardware.
Same here. Looking at the UI, I thought there were selling some devices

#57Why is there an abundance of note taking apps? Why is it that this particular category of software/apps sees a new one every now and then?

#58Is this going to be web-based (electron)? I'd love for a really good notes app, but everything these days is in electron and I can't deal with the powerhog. I'm now using Outlinely and Agenda mainly because of this
> coming soon to web desktop and mobile
I'd bet so.

I think Notion was the first one of the recent bunch, and they created something much better than the standard "Write some text" and since they got traction, others saw that they could do better and have started focusing in that direction.

This is basically what I do.
I then use Gthnk (http://gthnk.com) to navigate all my markdown files. I sync with dropbox or seafile, but it's the same basic idea.
Gthnk renders to PDF for printing. In fact, a medium-term goal is full import/export via hardcopy, which requires paper-oriented output.
