  • my methods have been:

  • use trilium for any detailed notes and documentation

  • memos for random thoughts especially if shorter

  • pen and paper when offline or on mobile because mobile trilium and moememos both suck

  • zotero for citation and bibliography manager

  • backed up to nextcloud

  • i have paperless-ngx but found it randomly errors a ton of things and zotero is fine.

  • considering if it’s worth it to have so many different spread out methods

  • theyre fun to use but it creates more chaos then needed

Hedgedoc is fantastic. If you’re okay with your notes app being web-only (without an app or even a PWA) and you don’t need canvas notes or multi-note queries, you should check it out.

First, every note is Markdown, but it supports a ton of things natively. It has native Vim, Emacs, and Sublime (the default) editors and it’s built to be great for collaboration (if you want).

It also has

  • syntax highlighting for a ton of languages
  • Mermaid.js support
  • LaTeX support
  • easy drag and drop image uploads
  • a solid mobile interface (for a webapp in your browser, at least)
  • built in revision history
  • support for other diagram tools, like graphviz, flowchart.js
  • a bunch of other little Markdown enhancements that make using it feel oddly intuitive

And best of all, they have a Hedgehog for the icon! (I may be biased.)
