    I use LogSeq at work. I have a lot of meetings, making a lot of notes and it’s just so easy to put all of them into the right hashtags/topic/whatever. When used right, it really needs 0 extra organisational work. It’s also really future-proof, easy to sync and also works on mobile.

      +1 i just switched from Obsidian and I think logseq logic clicks more with my thought process (block notes vs page focus). Awesome application!

      Can you point to a tutorial or guide to using logseq right? Where’d you learn how best to use it?

        Not a particular one. Just start using it, if you know markdown, you’re halfway there. “/” Will l will give you some options, also “[[]]” and “#” are creating separate pages, which is the most important aspect of Logseq.

    Obsidian. It’s just so good. The only sad thing is - it’s not open source.

    Google Keep .

    Pros: Works well across multiple devices. Never lost a note yet.

    Cons: Limited formatting. Never know if it will end up in the Google Graveyard one day.

    Joplin

    I like being able to use markdown, put images, pdfs, and videos straight into my notes and view them there.

    There’s nothing I don’t really like about it. I wish it did more things like:

    • easily reference git PRs/GitHub issues
    • watch a folder for changes and add everything to a note (there’s a plugin for this but it doesn’t work very ad-hoc)
    • watch the clipboard/Windows snipping tool (this is supposed to be a folder but I can’t find it) for images and add them
    • timestamp changes
    • export everything in a good format to track with git

    Neovim using Neorg.

    :Neorg journal today (tab autocompleting each) brings up ~/YYYY/MM/DD.norg file, which includes support for stuff like keybind to cycle todo list box ticks, and uses chars for a NerdFont

    I mostly use it for tracking what I did day to day for work, for entering into my timesheet at ebd of week and being able to ref back to it in my morning standup meeting, as well as leaving notes for myself on future days as a pseudo schedule.

    IE if I wanna leave a note for next Tuesday I’d create and edit ~/2024/03/05.norg and pop it in there. On Tuesday when I journal today there it’ll be ready for me.

    Minimalist, simple, autocomplete supporting, parseable, inside neovim (which I already have open), it’s perfect.

    It depends.

    • Todoist for basic everyday tasks

    • Obsidian for projects, learning plans, etc.

    • Unsaved Notepad++ tabs for Quick notes.

    Mine is going to sound funny. I’ve been working a long time and have literally decades of saved email in a structure that works for me. So when I take notes I do it as an email to myself.

    OneNote

    Easy sync across devices, fairly feature rich, interacts well with other work software, while being easy to separate work and personal.

    Megacorp holds my data. But I just don’t have the time/will to setup and maintain something self-hosted.
