As of 37 minutes in, not one Orgmode... ;)
I like Google Keep because it's one of the few apps I have found which gives me a readable preview of the notes. I generally try to keep the notes short. There is also an option to save the notes as Google Docs and then download as plain text if you like.
Of you wanted to arrange the short notes into a longer form, then Scrivener is a good next step. Again, Scrivener allows me to view these short notes in a readable preview. I can also drag and drop notes onto a larger document. Plus tons more features.
I have tried tons of other apps and none of them seem to allow a readable text preview. I like plain text, but I also like some sort of visual reference where I can scan loads of texts. Of course, this doesn't work well for longer text.
There have been some threads here lately about Perkeep, which I think has a lot of potential. A Google Keep interface on Perkeep would be perfect. What I like about Perkeep is that all content is content addressable and you can create meta-data external to the file which can hold things like tags, links between files, hierarchy, titles and a bunch more.
- jjuhl 8y ago"As of 37 minutes in, not one Orgmode" - ehh, how did you miss my org mode comment?
- swsieber 8y agoWell, your org mode comment was made 42 minutes in. At least, as I'm posting this, the post was 52 minutes old, your org mode comment was 10 minutes old, and this comment of yours was 1 minute in... So... latency.
- nafizh 8y agoI have been using Google Keep for some time and it is really great. But I am always dreading the day Google is announcing they are shutting it down. That is why looking for an alternative.
- xte 8y agoEmacs-er (I'm a proud one) tend to live in Emacs, not in browsers so a delay it's normal :-) Especially since HN emacs interface offer a decent way to read but not a way to post and since HN itself is not much good in term of conversation (even worse than Reddit, far far far worse than classic usenet) spending time in adding post capabilities it's probably not much interesting...
- b1gtuna 8y agoTook a brief look at Orgmode and it looks great. It also appears to be more feature packed than Vimwiki. Let me give it a shot. I'm a Vim user, so I hope I don't get too disoriented by Emacs.
