Note Taking Tools

In addition to Wiki (tool), personal note taking tools used in the LNCD include:

• bea: composition notebook
• shane: giant word doc (-2022), evernote (2022-)
• will: zim-wiki (2011-), emacs-zimwiki-mode (2019-)

TODO: other's note strategies.

There's a ton of interesting note taking software. Ideally, notes are accessible in perpetuity – consider open formats and open software to avoid vendor lock in.

• web hosted/$$: notation, roam, polarize, TheBrain, obsidian
• open source: joplin, anytype, appflowy
• annotation first: Hypothes.is, zotero
• desktop apps: logseq, qownnotes, rednotebook
• niche/ecco pro like outliners: cherrytree, CrossLine, treesheets, leo
• emacs: org-mode, hyperbole/Koutliner, howm, eev, deft
• vim-wiki

You might want to pair notes with syncing software. UPMC favors OneDrive, blocks dropbox and google drive, but allows syncthing and source forges (github, codeburgh, sr.ht, etc).
