Vimwiki & syncthing
Lightweight, libre, synchs on all my devices. Links between notes. All I need.
I use a 20+ year old PDA for notes and other general productivity/organization needs. Distraction free, keeps me off my phone, and a fun conversation piece. Handy for staying on top of my ADHD.
Zim just works.
Nextcloud notes finally got good enough to replace google keep a while ago.
Been happily using that since.
I use obsidian for just text stuff I need to remember later. If I need to do math or need a diagram temporarily I prefer pencil and paper. If I want to save diagrams for later I have a drawing tablet that I use like a whiteboard so that I can save and use layers. If you don't have a drawing tablet Autodesk sketchbook is a decent substitute that can be used on your phone.
Previously used OINotepad.
Now using neutriNote for quick note taking.
Am I weird for just using a pen and paper? I recently upgraded my setup by buying a binder and ~1000 pages so I won't have to burn through notebooks or money.
One thing that I know for sure is weird is that I use a fountain pen for it all...
Obsidian sync'd with my desktop PC, usually. Though also experimenting with doing the same with Orgro. Both on my phone. If I happen to be in front of my PC, just org-mode in emacs.
Currently, poorly. I’m trying to pick up some Zettelkasten habits. I started to, using Logseq, and now I’m trying to switch to Org-roam.
This is pretty much ditto to my status. I loved logseq's paradigm of easy linking and transclusion from the journal dumps.
Are you trying to do something similar with org-roam? I still haven't figured out my way around with the org (roam) ecosystem
If by transclusion you mean hyperlinks & copypasta, then yes. I’m looking at using Zotero as well. I still haven’t really gotten the hang of Emacs, never mind org-mode or org-roam. It’s a lot. Too bad I didn’t pick up Emacs decades ago instead of vi.
