I have recently started using logseq: https://logseq.com/blog/about I have to say I am really loving it so far. All based on Markdown or org mode format. I have a folder stored on OneDrive and it is synced across all my devices.
I use Apple Notes, and I constantly share notes with my wife — and entire folder structures, too. We use it for grocery lists, dinner planning, travel planning, and many other things. It's not quite as elegantly real-time as Google Docs, but we don't need that as much, since we tend to edit at different times.
I also like that Notes is rich text all the way. My heart sinks when a new note-taking app boasts of Markdown support, as if that's a good thing. I think Markdown is fine for technical docs, where no good standard for rich text editing exists. But Markdown is a compromise — things like asterisks and underlines are less legible than the bold and italics they represent (especially across more than one word), and links become nigh unreadable, not to mention things like inline images and tables.
I previously used Evernote, and I've tried Notion (slow, awful for organizing, "block model" gets in the way of writing). I've yet to find anything that matches Apple Notes.
Coincidentally I discovered another iOS app for note-taking this week called Beorg, which leverages the emacs + org mode format so I can easily sync between iOS and Linux. This one looks nice too though; always good to see open source apps for Mac and iOS. I wonder how similar the markdown formats are.
I’m working on bringing my org tasks to iOS. It’s early days but can be seen here https://www.reddit.com/r/plainorg and here https://xenodium.com/org-habits-on-ios-check-tasks-youre-nex... I have TestFlight invites available for anyone interested. Edit: Email me for invites "plainorg" + "@" + "xenodium.com"
Can't thank you enough for spending so much effort supporting org on iOS, it's really filling a huge gap for me!
Apple’s “Quicknote” feature in iOS 15 is great, being able to highlight and link to specific text on any webpage in Safari, and other apps as well. I guess a lot of people will stick to the stock Notes app just because of this feature [1] Unfortunately no 3th-party Notes app can implement such a feature due to Apple’s walled garden :’( [1] https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/06/22/quick-note-may-be...
Unfortunately, the platform lock is a deal breaker for me. After testing a lot of different note apps, I'm currently using Joplin. It does 95% of the things I need quite right. I'm not sure, if it's only my problem, but I really struggled to find a good app for note taking, although there's a plethora of solutions out there.
1. Secure - E2E encrypted on cloud storage, vendor cannot read it
2. Accessible - standalone native app on desktop and mobile on all platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac/iOS, Android)
3. Simple - love how Apple doesn't even make you "title" notes, it just takes the first line
4. Shareable - with others with editing privs eg a grocery list for family
5. Paid - that way I know it's sustainable and not some data scam
6. Plain - Base version has no ability to publish to a blog or any junk like that.
7. Open source
I just subscribed to Standard Notes:https://standardnotes.com/
Standard Notes has #1, #2, #5, and#7. But UI is more cluttered than iOS. And not shareable with editing privs.
I keep seeing apps like these, and what they almost never have is sharing notes between multiple people. I use Apple Notes, and I constantly share notes with my wife — and entire folder structures, too. We use it for grocery lists, dinner planning, travel planning, and many other things. It's not quite as elegantly real-time as Google Docs, but we don't need that as much, since we tend to edit at different times. I a…
Is it that hard to create an open source hosted version? Just get out of the way and let me take a note!
As I posted in this thread, I will pay $100/year for this solution. The closest I've found is Standard Notes, but it's missing a few things.
I will pay $100 a year for an iOS-like Notes replacement, de-Appled with these criteria: 1. Secure - E2E encrypted on cloud storage, vendor cannot read it 2. Accessible - standalone native app on desktop and mobile on all platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac/iOS, Android) 3. Simple - love how Apple doesn't even make you "title" notes, it just takes the first line 4. Shareable - with others with editing privs eg a grocery l…
