    I used the "BATF" method for years, with one file per year. In 2014 I switched to Zim [1] and haven't looked back. [1] https://zim-wiki.org/.

  2. A second brain, for you, forever. Obsidian is a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.

    I liked using Cinta Notes - https://cintanotes.com/ Super quick way to jot down notes, search through them, tag them if needed. May be useful :).

    I've been using Simple Note: https://simplenote.com/ It's good enough for me. I don't think I've ever used Evernote's advanced features because I'm too lazy to organize things into books. It seems like they have an Evernote Import feature?

    A digital whiteboard that unlocks the true power of computers to everyone. It is super easy to use and it will help you with all your daily tasks.

    How come, that the terrible design doesn't render the whole application useless? How come, that there is such a terrible tool on the front page of Hacker news when there is for example OrgPad, which is a thousand times better app? Go try it on https://orgpad.com and point out one thing that's better in kinopio, hence I really don't understand the affection here.
