I see you didn't mention Markdown. My solution for the last couple of years to this problem is to have all my notes organized into folder and .md files. A couple of advantages:
- I can move around different IDEs/apps since there are a lot of different solutions for every platform there.
- Same goes for search and links between folders. Rely on git for version control of the files themselves.
- It gives you the flexibility of using plugins to turn into PDF or host as a gitbook private site for example.
Knowledge base organization gets discussed frequently on HN. I understand your frustration though, I've always longed to see a one fit for all platforms though. Onenote sure shows a lot of potential but is probably limited by the fact that MS wants to keep it as close to their office suite as possible.
- jorgekong 6y agoSame, I've settled with a multi-OS IDE for taking notes. The main issue is trying to get shortcut keys for Markdown such as toggling a list. I haven't found a good extension either on JetBrains or VSCode ... maybe the only way is to personally write the extension haha
- sullyj3 6y agoMaking a commit and pushing every time I edit a note would drive me nuts. I've gotten used to notes auto-saving and syncing. Additionally, reading md on android would require a specialized app anyway.
