Evernote missed the opportunity to be the first Google docs. It was perfectly lightweight to capture and organize information, often better than its peers on mobile. Didn’t seem to get ahead.
OneNote is nice except it lacks offline support.
Notion is even better with great collaboration but one fatal flaw, no real offline mode.
Evernote was always instant on and with you for the most part, except where it started losing notes on me.
- coffeeling 5y ago> OneNote is nice except it lacks offline support. Huh? If you mean purely local, yeah, that's impossible outside the Office app on Windows. But apart from that, OneNote can't even operate without downloading a full local copy of a notebook you open. Any changes you do get applied to the local copy first and then synced to the master copy on OneDrive separately.
- j45 5y agoSorry, typo. OneNote works fine offline but is poor at collaboration and granular sharing and permissions. Notion is poor at working offline but strong at collaboration and granular sharing/permissions.
- coffeeling 5y agoYeah, the notebook as the fundamental sharing unit can be troublesome. OneNote should technically have the ability to make individual sections shareable (a OneNote notebook is stored as a folder containing .one files (sections with their pages) and subfolders (section groups) on disc) since every section is its own file. You could in principle just permission that via OneDrive and I think they had plans to, but I haven't seen anything on that front.
