I used it for years for writing a daily journal. I'd press a shortkey such as Alt+D and I'd get an entry for the day and write. Simple useful tool with an awesome author.

Hijacking this comment, I use Horst Schaeffer's MemPad[0] for this. Super lightweight, super simple, super fast. Also great for tracking freelance work with one file per client. Alas, Windows-only. 0. https://www.horstmuc.de/wmem.htm

For me the killer feature of Zim is the native integration with Git. It's super easy to write and commit, write some more, commit again. You don't even have to leave the editor interface. I've coupled this with git pre-commit and post-commit hooks which basically ensure that the changes are always pushed to GitHub. I've found a similar application for Android called GitJournal. Unfortunately it doesn't do the wiki sy…

I'm the GitJournal author. I'd be open to adding the zim wiki syntax support, assuming I can have at least one designated person who uses Zim, and can test things out and report issues. GitJournal now has basic support for OrgMode, and the code is now in a state where it doesn't necessarily assume Markdown. How about you file an issue on GitHub? [0]. Ideally, if you could get some other people to vote on it, I'll be…

Can you help me out? You have a lot of great alternatives - does any of them allow to arrange notes in a tree-like manner, like a mind map? A graphical tree/mindmap that links to longer articles? I think I saw an opensource tool like that before, but lost track of it. EDIT: I'm trying out some of your links. Logseq seems cool, has a strange logic but has some graph visualization of nodes and plugins with direct mindm…

It is time to give a shout out to my favorite note taking app: Trilium https://github.com/zadam/trilium Pros: 1. Data is saved in SQlite. I am at 33k notes and it springs open instantaneously. 2. Notes can be arranged into arbitrarily deep tree. Single note can be placed into multiple places in the tree. (Think soft-links) 3. WYSIWYG support (CKEditor) 4. Tags, advanced scripting features 5. Other ususal wiki stuff l…

I use Joplin, which has a similar feature set but also mobile apps: https://joplinapp.org/ It supports various types of file stores for syncing between devices. I've used OneDrive and WebDAV. The project has also recently launched a cloud service for people who want to sync between devices but don't want to set up a network file store.

I was using TiddlyWiki, but I stopped about two years ago. I use OneNote for everything because I am primarily Windows based, but I do have an iMac and Linux machines too. I may give this a try. I still go back to pen and paper in bound books a lot, but for listing and sharing this looks good.

I used OneNote in school and really liked it but no native Linux support is a deal breaker. The web client is far too slow and frustrating to use on a daily basis.
