- muzani 9y agoEvernote for long term ones. It's terrible to write in, but does a good job with search and storage. Jotterpad for 'sketches' on Android. Sublime for PC. Sublime has such good plugins for notes that I'm using it instead of a lot of checklist apps.

- Guyag 9y agoBig fan of Tiddlywiki for its nonlinearity. You can see how it works without signing up or downloading anything; the site is itself an instance: http://tiddlywiki.com/ http://tiddlywiki.com/
- b_emery 9y agoI second this. For me, anything with tagging and search would work. Mine lives in Dropbox (it runs in Firefox) so it's backed up and available on all my machines. A lot of the notes and ideas in it start out on paper (e.g. written on the go, or whenever the idea strikes me) so I get the benefits of paper. But rediscovery becomes essential as the volume of notes get large. Paper is ineffective because of the lack of search capability.
