Recommendations for a note taking app?

I have found Zim Desktop Wiki quite useful.

Besides it, I'd recommend KJots (from KDE's KDEPIM Suite), and ... Microsoft's OneNote (which is web based for Linux but it's still pretty good).

Thank you, I try to avoid all things KDE though.

These days I use vim to write them in Markdown and store them in Dropbox. I use the Markdown Preview Plus Chrome extension to view them. And if I need to view them on other devices that don't have native Markdown viewing, then I use pandoc to convert the Markdown to HTML.

Thanks, this looks very good. It has a better interface than Lifeograph, which is what I currently use. Though unlike Lifeograph it doesn't seem to have the tag function.

I can't mark this as solved yet, too many great suggestions.

People have different needs. For me a 100 paper notebook and a pen is the best app. During the age of typing and typing that help me not forget writing and keep my handwriting beautiful.
Sorry for the off-topic content.

Ended up putting the ctx file in an owncloud folder

May I ask why owncloud and not nextcloud?

A pencil and paper is hard to beat.

gvim helped me on many occasions:
mouse select and middle_click-paste works
basic file-menu functions are "on usual places"
I can barely survive in vi clones, but in gvim i can even do work (code n stuff)
the simple file and folder hierarchy survives backups the best
Emacs is a pretty text editor for an operating system (reminds me on VizaWrite of the day tho)
YMMV
my editor of choice is mcedit on console and geany for coding, as i like lite weight, since KDE abandoned the v3.x series i abandoned kate (and hope :-/ )...

I recommend Boostnote.
Boostnote is not an app suitable for everyone, it ‘s a handy note-taking app for programmers.

■ Download
https://boostnote.io

■ Open source
Also, Boostnote mobile is an open source application.
Source code on Github has been released, here (https://github.com/BoostIO/Boostnote)
Some people actively participate in the development and improvement of applications from all over the world.

Hi junp, welcome to this forum.

I didn't find a link to the source git repo in your post, but found it here.

PS This thread is one year old.

RadicalDreamer · 10-21-2017, 05:11 AM

I use kate and vym (view your mind). Boostnote looks nice though

fatmac · 10-21-2017, 05:55 AM

You could just use.

Code:

echo "whatever" >> myfile
