> Anyone else @HN that knows of something similar ? (apart from evernote)
I'm currently experimenting with Emacs org-mode, Microsoft OneNote and a personal MediaWiki install on localhost. My observations so far:
- Emacs org-mode: (+) integrated power of my Emacs setup, (+) great key bindings, (+) based on text files, (-) difficult to learn, (-) no fancy UI, drag-n-drop
- Microsoft OneNote: (+) nice UI, (+) good mouse support, (+) drag-n-drop, (-) proprietary format, (-) no LaTeX
- MediaWiki: (+) rich wiki capabilities, (+) great revision management, (+) available in local network on any device, (+) everything in the browser, (-) painful updating, migrating, installing, (-) slow, no good keybindings
My conclusion so far: I'm torn between MediaWiki and org-mode. OneNote is a bit too proprietary for my taste. Next I’m going to move everything to org-mode and work on ways to publish my notes with LaTeX markup on the intranet and to include pictures more easily.
- vmarsy 11y agoA feature from OneNote I love and nobody knows about because of poor marketing is the "me@onenote.com" [1]. You send an email to it, it creates a note where Email subject = Note title, and email content = the note text I linked my gmail account to it (it doesn't require to sync email between the gmail and the outlook account) and I email "me@onenote.com" all the time. If you just put a URL in the subject of your email, OneNote will create a note with the HTML page extracted (so it's fully searchable) as well as a screenshot of the page!

Unless you're intending to put pdf's on your intranet, seems like org-mode's export to html would be better suited to what you want. You may also want to check the org-mode support for Jekyll, the ruby-based static-html blog engine.
