> Whenever I want to take notes, I make a textfile and edit it in my texteditor. That is what I do as well. It is simple and does not distract me from my main task. I find that I do not really need features that many note softwares provide de facto such as tagging, WYSIWYG editor or multimedia support. However I feel that note taking softwares add values by making it easier to categorize and retrieve the notes later. For this reason I wrote a small command line interface called Dnote (https://github.com/dnote/cli https://github.com/dnote/cli). It stores notes in 'books' and supports full text search. My workflow is: $ dnote add bookName # launches vim. I type my note and quit vim. The note is saved locally. # later... $ dnote find "some text" $ dnote view bookName`
