Ask HN: How do you go about storing/organizing your notes? Platform agnostic
I'm looking for solution to keep all my notes in the same place. Currently I do have several text files, google sites, evernote, wiki, even my blog with several how-to's.
I'd like to have everything in one place, accessible offline for reading and searching, preferably with markdown support.
- gorkemcetin 7y agoYou may want to check Balsa, but it is self hosted and may not be quite there with your requirements if you don't want to host yourself (https://github.com/balsa-team/balsa https://github.com/balsa-team/balsa)
- SpaceInvader 7y agoSelf hosted is fine, thank you, will check that.
- jimmyvalmer 7y agoI'm afraid you're going to have to learn emacs (org).
- dorfsmay 7y agoDo you use a multiplatform shared storage service (dropbox, pcloud, etc...)? Do you spend a lot of time in a specific editor? If so, consolidate those text files into one folder, and use your editor. The only issue will then be editing them from your phone - I don't, I just send myself emails, and add those notes to my files once on a computer. I might revisit wikis, specifically for notes I need to share with others, but even then, it will be one that supports a simple format like asciidoc ro markdown, so I can keep using an editor. I have tried several systems, and none beats the convenience of the editor you're familiar with.
