What note taking technology does /g/ use? I'm fond of hipster PDA (index cards held together with a binder clip).
Disposable cards are a feature, not a bug - I systematize in text files in git later but nothing else beats convenience of capture.
>>105822836 (OP)why, yes, hehe, i write my notes to Apple® Notes© on my Apple® iPad Air® using my Apple® Pencil®, how would you know?
>>105822950I often get good ideas which I later forget unless I have captured them.
>>105822836 (OP)I keep a notebook on my desk and then I use obsidian for long term notes.
>>105822836 (OP)I used to use a 13" eInk tablet but the battery shit itself and I haven't gotten around to replacing it so pen and paper for now.
>>105822985what makes you think recording good idea is a metric?
>>105822836 (OP)I'm a dork because for some reason I tend to gravitate around binders.
My last one looked sort of like this.
>>105822836 (OP)I was doing this for awhile. Minimal and disposable. But I often forget to go back and review my notes. Went back to using a notebook. Lot of stuff I tend to keep long term for the most part. Also helps Ive gotten better at organizing. Putting dates and maybe adding some color to here and there for priorities tasks I need to complete.
>>105822836 (OP)I'm curious, is this the only board that posts things related pens/note taking?
>>105823832Imagine having color in notes, get a load of this fruit cake, also what are you coloring? subtitles?
>>105823801usecase for helping you empirically?
>>105823798I think jotting down ideas is a good way to put things in motion, don't you think?

I mostly use the notepad app on my phone. Notebooks take me years to get through. I have some Moleskine type ones too but never use them because I feel like I have to write something profound and archival in them.
I used to use this thing called a Pocketmod ... no idea what I used them for though, probably nothing important. Prints on a sheet of paper, then you do a cut and some folding to make a booklet. There would be modules for general notes, scheduling, puzzles, etc. Original website unfortunately has since put it behind a login.

Here's a template if you want to build your own.

And a web tool that looks like will take a pdf and do the page flips and arrangement for you.

>>105822950write it down. youre not that good.
>>105823795those always fall apart in my pocket. i like the idea if a black clip and note cards better.
obsidian
excalidraw
there's also Notion and self hosted alternatives which I've never tried, but are constantly suggested.
obsidian works for me since its just markdown files. you're free to use any editor you wish that can handle the markdown features that you use and I'm using syncthing to sync vaults between devices.
I also have a whiteboard. I'll fill it up and take a photo of it and just import it into my obsidian vault.
I've used Joplin and Logseq in the past before as well
>>105822836 (OP)Most vids promote some software bloat. this has been the most helpful for me.

>>105824451the concepts of note taking are more important than the software used. never really watched a ton of these kinds of videos but near the end it definitely has useful information
>>105823854Draws my attention to certain things. Although I mentioned color, but its really just tagging things with a red pen. Black ink all tends blend together and nothing stands out.
>>105822950"I have an idea! I should write it down!"

>>105822836 (OP)I use Trilium Notes. cool project, works for me (building knowledge bases and references and having a scratchpad)
reply to this post if you need help setting it up. personally I used Docker to host a Notes server on my raspberry pi (could be any computer though). it's comfy
whatever works, it's easy to get caught up in over-preparing rather than progressively iterating better systems as you learn

iphone notes app with icloud
syncs to all my devices, just works
>>105822836 (OP)apple notes usually, anything worth keeping i open neovim in acustom formatted .txt file, and use ai to add tags at the bottom of the document to help file managers find them easier when i search for them
>>105827134This is nothing more than a filesystem with folders and subfolders and text files, just like every other advanced note taking app when you ignore the useless features. Why don't you just host a small network file system instead?
>>105828750why anything?
I enjoy using it, simple as
I do have a separate /shared drive and I have nothing against your proposed solution
I am not sure what type of satisfactory answer you are expecting when asking a why question in an already opinionated manner

>>105822836 (OP)For me its neorg (https://github.com/nvim-neorg/neorg ) + rsync
Cloud Engineer /Devops here:
Org-mode in emacs for work and personal projects, files live in git repos and mirrored in OneDrive/Gdrive.
For traditional note-taking, Pentel Graphgear 500 and Pilot Pro 5 in black ink, index cards, dotted notebook (moleskine ripoff) and pocket notepad for shopping/groceries.
I use a combo of analog and bullet journal for cards, and the Cornell notes for the journal.
The uggmonk guys have an overpriced dock for the cards, but you can find similar ones in you favorite CSG site.
Note taking is a good habit, trust me, it has saved my ass many times, lol.
voice notes taken on my phone are synced to my home server where they're converted to text and appropriately tagged
text snippets on my tablet do the same
when I first wake my home PC it opens each new note as a notification and I set a priority, either completed, incomplete long term (sets reminders once a week until flagged completed), incomplete short term (sets reminders daily until flagged completed), or incomplete urgent (reminds every 15 minutes until flagged completed).
