I would love to see an EverNote/OneNote replacement that was based on the filesystem and git. In addition to a great web UI, any client could then access and edit notes via git. Sync could be provided with Github or your own repo.
Maybe markdown + git + nice UI clients?
- arethuza 13y agoI think that's a great idea - I take it you mean a direct mapping of notes and attachments into some sensible directory structure?
- foz 13y agoYes, pretty much. Maybe it exists?
- arethuza 13y agoI'd love to know if it does - I can see that OneNote is pretty slick but I'd prefer something that has a nice UI (with notes, proper drawings, images and attachments) with a sane directory based storage format. NB I have tried Evernote but couldn't quite get into it - I make do with a combination of ever expanding Google Docs documents and text files open in whatever editor I'm using that week...
- hassy 13y agoI have some awful elisp code that glues together org mode, iimage.el and Deft to do something along these lines. All notes are stored as plain text with images in a sensible directory structure. I don't use git, everything just sits in a Dropbox folder. Emacs works well for me as the UI, but there's no reason a web-based UI couldn't be written. I could look into tidying it up over the Christmas break and publishing it if there's interest.
- austinbirch 13y agoI would be interested, though probably not so much in the web UI for it - Emacs would be fine.
- minimalist 13y agoI would also be interested! A sane structure for embedding images within org-mode notes is one thing that I haven't bothered to make a solution for. (Instead, I defected to Zim.)
- taude 13y agoI've been using nValt + DropBox for about 18 months now. I haven't really missed Evernote. Plus all my stuff is available in any easy to search text document format, not locked into any applications. I can access from mobile via different applications, too.
- stewbrew 13y agoA file-based wiki like dokuwiki wouldn't suffice the requirements, I suppose.
- TeMPOraL 13y agoOnly maybe if hosted on Dropbox public folder.
- eli 13y agoI use Notational Velocity[1] + markdown + Dropbox for taking and organizing notes. You can set it to use regular files or rtf, which is nice because then I can pull up or edit my notes anywhere I have dropbox synced (like my phone) [1] Actually the nvALT fork: http://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/ http://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/
