- bitwize 4y agoOrg-mode, yo.
- selykg 4y agoI've yet to find a reasonable mobile version of org-mode. Which is, frankly, a non-starter for me personally. 90% of the time I am probably referencing something from my notes when mobile, but I need those notes to: 1. Be accessible an up to date 2. Easily searchable, and to do so quickly 3. In the rare case that I need to take a note, it is best if I can do so easily and have those go back to my computer quickly and painlessly so I can do what needs doing to get that into the system better. Org-mode simply does not do this well in any of my experience with it. It's fine if all you're doing is taking notes on a computer, but as soon as you add a mobile device to the mix, it goes belly up for me.

- egypturnash 4y agoI tried it and cannot recall why that one failed. It missed one of my requirements of * must be a native app, not a shitty web app * must be able to run on my Mac & iThings as well as my collaborator's Windows & Android phone * must be able to collaborate with other people * must be able to ingest a decade of Evernote gracefully * that includes attached images and PDFs, I make comics * must deal with actual rich text, markdown is nice for commenting on the internet but notes need more
- soundnote 4y agoSimplenote is a web app by necessity - most Markdown ones are since Markdown is just a way to write simple HTML. I don't think there really are native notetaking apps anymore, let alone multiplatform ones. OneNote's probably the only big player left. I don't think Simplenote really handles file attachments, so it'd be a complete no go.
