I use a Moleskine and an pen. Works everywhere, never crashes, no dependency on a third party.
Discussions from last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5410267 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5410071 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5395147 I've been a user for a year now, and nothing has changed about the service except minor tweaks.
