I’m paper and pen - so recently was introduced to Goodnotes on iPad with a pencil. I found a used eBay iPad and can rapidly take notes, draw diagrams and flowcharts. Full search with online recognition, too.
Honestly it’s pretty good. I am much more productive than on paper.
On laptop or desktop I stick with vim and copy to Word if required. I use Inkscape for diagrams.
- andrem 8y agoSecond the notion of goodnotes and the pen. The one feature that really is quite significant is being able to move hand written text around using the lasso tool. So you write something, circle it and move it to the right spot. If your brain works in chaotic ways at times it is such a cool feature to just write/dump everything and then order it later. Also excellent for drawing diagrams and mockups and all kinds of other flows that require expansion or significant change later on. Using the pen/ipad combo feels quite natural to write so this has been my solution for a while and has stuck more than any solution I have tried over the past 20 years aside from regular pen/paper.
- svat 8y agoDoes this need a special pen/pencil/stylus? Apple Pencil?
- andrem 8y agoI am using an Apple Pencil. Not sure if 3rd party pencils work.
- convivialdingo 8y agoLots of support for non-apple styluses on Goodnotes. I can only vouch for the Apple Pencil which works well. https://medium.goodnotes.com/the-6-best-styluses-for-note-taking-on-the-ipad-fba390c2b8dd https://medium.goodnotes.com/the-6-best-styluses-for-note-ta...
