   Exceptional for what its doing

   Was looking for an alternative for OneNote, so I found it here. I like how simple the interface is and the UI is very simple. It's good for what it is, but there is no sorting/topic system which makes it difficult to find specific notes for specific topics. Other than that, it's a good note system.

   🏁 Competitors: OneNote, Evernote

   👍 Pros:    Lots of functionalities|Easy user interface|Easy to use|Simple

   👎 Cons:    No groups for notes|No sorting notes

• Linkhut: A Social Bookmarking Site

  I had the same problem back in the day, so I created https://historio.us, which is a search engine over the content of the pages. That way, you don't need to tag things, you have your own personal search engine. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: What is something you built but never marketed?

  I got tired of not being able to find anything on the web and wrote a bookmark manager that is also a search engine: https://historio.us. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you save web page content

  I have been saving web page content over the years in various ways. Plain text, print as PDF's, etc etc. How do you all do it. For example - if we wanted to save this web page locally how would you do it? https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=368501 It's a long nicely formatted, color web page that I would not want to save as a text file. I used to just bookmark these things, but then when I want to go... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services?

  Product looks very promising! Some UI feedback: I went to check out https://historio.us/ and on my macbook air I saw the top of the green button "see our plans". Took me a couple of clicks until I realized I had to scroll down to click the real "plans and pricing" button that was off my screen. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Does anybody still use bookmarking services?

  There's also https://historio.us/ - it's essentially same as what OP is doing but it's as easy as bookmarking. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Looking for a simple note taking tool

  It doesn't meet the poster's needs, but Simplenote is still a thing for people who want text-only notes, Markdown, and easy access to plain text files. It got acquired by Automattic a few years back. https://simplenote.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

• Show HN: I built a note-taking app integrated with calendar and to-do list

  Https://noteplan.co is a very similar app. Unfortunately I couldn't use it because it was limited to iOS devices (a web version is in development). - One thing missing in craftnote is search. That is a must-have feature for me. - I also like being able to publicly share notes with a (short) URL. See https://simplenote.com for an example of how this is done. Nice job with allowing your app to be usable without... - Source: Hacker News / 12 days ago

• Ask HN: How do you store your knowledge?

  It's not perfect, but I use https://simplenote.com/ Someday I will build my own clone of Simplenote/Notational Velocity/Taskpaper/Drafts/Bkmks.com... 1. From mobile browser, share to Simplenote adds a new note with title + url. 2. Not often. 3. Not often. 4. Also Simplenote. Also used Notational Velocity: one note per JIRA ticket. 5. I wish Simplenote's tagging system were better (more like TaskPaper) - I wish it... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• NvAlt: MultiMarkdown Notational Velocity fork with Markdown editing and preview

  Note nvUltra, the successor to this program, has been in development/private beta for several years[1,2]. I've been meaning to make my own web-based version of Notational Velocity that adds a few novel features of my own. (Plus inspiration from apps like TaskPaper and Drafts) There are a lot of Notational Velocity clones; currently my favorite is: https://simplenote.com/ [1]:... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Ask HN: Apple Notes has jumped the shark, what should I replace it with?

  I'm still happy with Apple Notes for its integration with all of Apple Apps, easy sharing with family members, etc. I have tamed it more as an ephemeral and quick Notes App. The notes that starts there are usually transferred to a more permanent and organized Plain-Text setup[1] (currently guardian-ed by Obsidian). If I had to replace Apple Notes, I'd look at either one of these; - https://simplenote.com -... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
