Ask HN: Best note taking software?
I've been on a hunt for the last few days for some decent note taking software for my computer. I need to be able to take notes for school, which will involve a mix of typing, images, equations, attachments, etc.
In my search, the only two that seem to come up as remotely usable (emphasis on remotely) are Evernote and OneNote. Are there any other alternatives that anyone knows and loves?
I need it to run on either Windows or Linux.
Kind of surprised to see this is evidently an under filled niche

- jimle-uk 13y agoI would recommend padlet - http://padlet.com http://padlet.com I wish I had this back in school because it just works like my brain does. I don't need ruled lines or the constraint to text only, I need the infinite canvas! I've only started using the service for the past few weeks and this new way of brainstorming / note taking is working quite well for me.
- aorshan 13y agoI use Evernote every day at school. It fills just about all of my needs. The only place where it struggles is when I need to write out math. In those cases I'll usually just use pen and paper. Everything else goes in Evernote though.
