I've been needing a note taking app for some time which allows for images to be embedded and thought of make a website (or at least, html) but thought it might be too much effort so are there any good websites or applications that allow you to take notes with embedding images? (I prefer applications to websites but either is fine)

Google Keep

It's easy and practical to share notes between my phone and my computer. I can share notes and make them collaborative.

I use Standard Notes[0] although it doesn't support images. Evernote supports images, but Evernote isn't as private as Standard Notes. There is also Joplin[1] if you really need images, and you can either self-host it or use their cloud[2] offering.

Personal: Google Keep - Easy syncing Work: Microsoft OneNote - it gives you 2 dimensions to categorize stuff

I love Joplin. I’ve also heard good things about Obsidian

I really like Logseq[0]. You should give a try, it is really powerful, free and open source.

For text-only scratch notes I use an ancient freeware Windows app called Flashnote which is a super-lightweight tree-note utility.

For everything else I mostly use Trello.

Dynalist.

Plus, as additional data entry pipeline iPhone app “Drafts” that sends items to a CloudMailin address and, using the Dynalist API, adds them to the appropriate list (e.g. shipping, todo inbox, quotes, current project. etc.).
