I'm tired of seeking, testing and waiting for the 'right' notetaking tool, it's been years and damn I just want something like Onenote but open source and there isn't, I could cope with an old version that felt so perfect at the time, then they screwed up, just that view with the notes on the side, damn it.
Currently I just keep markdown notes in directories, I do have a self-hosted GetOutline.com instance which has been working surprisingly well, even the responsive mobile version, yet I'd like to have this same nice looking editor with files in my drive instead of a db, don't need any of the collab options.
- pqs 4y agoHave you seen that the old OneNote 2016 is the new OneNote?
- mickelsen 4y ago> old OneNote 2016 is the new OneNote I'm on a mac, so they killed that version a long ago and there's only one, which can't have local-first notes, not that it ever could but I was able to download them, and the app resembled the older desktop onenote more. Still I'm looking to stay away from proprietary clouds after that, but there's no real alternative in sight, and all those graph-linked experimental digital garden pkm are just overkill and too obsessive for me; I'm yet to see the purported knowledge revolution inspired on Doug Engelbart-yada-yada these tools promise.
- pqs 4y agoI understand. There is so much going on in this space but somehow something is lacking.
