| Just another opinion on the balanced note taking method: I think org-mode solves almost all offline note-taking requirements * org-roam makes it super-easy to link notes * emacs as an editor is as usable as any other editor * Rich media is possible and easy to do in org-mode. Attach a snapshot, embed a video file * Code with documentation is a feature not available in most other note taking methods/apps. It's possible to run code snippets and add comments, documentation about them in the same space * Latex support is advanced. Inline equations work seamlessly * Search support is advanced Drawbacks: * One of the main drawbacks is that all your notes end up offline. This was a deal-breaker for me. ox-hugo helps in publishing your notes to a (private) static site where it can be searched, viewed but not edited on the fly * Publishing through ox-hugo is separate from maintaining a backup/sync of your notes in /org/ format. You'll have to do this separately through Dropbox/GDrive/etc * A backup of your org notes is not usable until you set up your emacs environment and download all your notes |
Sadly, the combo of (rich optional) text, easy paste in pictures, inking, file embedding, easy linking, open file formats / all in a sqlite file you can sync / stick on a flash drive, that runs on Windows/Android/Linux/maaaaybe web is just not there yet that I can see.
