A place for people to discuss Personal Knowledge Management Systems (PKMS) such as "Building a Second Brain" (BASB), Obsidian, and more.
Handwriting to text support. I haven't found anything with this since OneNote. You'd think that in the interceding decade, someone would have made a FOSS equivalent. Especially now, with the rise of AI.
Writing things by hand is a big part of knowledge retention for a lot of people, but I also need to be able to search my notes. Text can be searched but typing doesn't help with memory, and handwriting helps with memory but can't be searched in the apps at my disposal.
As a Samsung Note user, I'm right there with you. I jot down so, so many notes.
I want the Holy Grail:
I use org-mode. Mobile sucks. No collaboration. :(
As someone who hasn’t looked into plugins yet, Obsidian.md doesn’t have changing the color of the text in the same way I can change it on say, Microsoft Word or Google Docs. I can probably do something in CSS or HTML to let me change it at will, but it’s not built-in.
Also not too vital, so I’m letting it go. I’ll learn how to do it when I actually need it. I’m satisfied.
I've seen recommendations for this around, plugin called "Highlightr"
@PsychrolutesMarcidus Not my current choice, but I used to love Notally for its simplicity. All I wished was to have a way to sync notes to a different device and open them on desktop. I had to switch unfortunately, but I managed to create a system where I would save notes as .md files.
I wish Bear had transclusion and pinned subtags. Otherwise very happy with the app.
Bear is a beautiful app. Very simple but superb at what it does.
