   Go-to solution for easy paper replacement

   Used my laptop, a small wacom tablet, and this program to replace all my engineering notes this semester. No more scanning to upload, re-drawing plots, re-writing equations, printing assignments, or heavy binder to carry around.

   🏁 Competitors: OneNote

   👍 Pros:    Export in pdf|Import pdf

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

  I used to _love_ this program. Alas, it is very out-of-date. The best alternative I've yet found is [The Archive](https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/). Why is this trending now? - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

• Joplin is an open source note-taking app

  I currently use The Archive app (Zettelkasten style) : https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Struggling to fully understand and get started

  You're worrying too much about this. First, you're confusing a Zettelkasten (ZK) with a PKM. You don't need a PKM to have a ZK. And, yes, there are examples of text based ZKs. Agreed with u/FastSascha - the Archive is probably the best example: Https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/. Source: 10 months ago

• nvALT 2

  I used to use nvALT quite a bit. These days I use The Archive[1] instead. [1]: https://zettelkasten.de/the-archive/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Feature request: option to name new notes with date stamp

  But relatedly, I would kill to have tabular numerals in the sidebar, so files beginning with date stamps or any numbers line up. See The Archive sidebar for reference. Source: over 1 year ago

• Book list for streetfighting computer scientists

  I've been using Xournalpp[1] for many years, highlighting books as I read them, adding in text/hand drawn annotations in whitespaces if necessary. Unlike other PDF readers/annotators, it saves a separate file, so the original PDF is untouched. It can also export the annotated PDF as a new PDF with highlights and annotations. Obsidian[2] also has PDF support, where you can open a markdown document side by side with... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Combined metric for finding and decoding (digitally) handwritten text on a page?

  Currently, I am trying to build a small open source NLP project for which I first find text on a page and then translate it; see the current project state here: https://github.com/PellelNitram/xournalpp_htr. The purpose of this project is to make handwritten text in Xournal++ searchable for all users. Source: 7 months ago

• Alternative to MS OneNote that’s truly as good? Flair is limited but more precisely is I’d like cross-platform.

  On Linux, Xournal++ is the best thing that can do inking. https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp. Source: about 1 year ago

• Need help installing Latex on Linux

  First of all, I don't want to install Latex, but since my note taking app requires it, I feel like I don't have any alternative. I was wondering if I needed to download TexLive or if there were any other options for me. I am taking physics notes and I don't want anything other than basic text editing (superscript, subscript, symbols for physics equations and basic math stuff), is there a way I don't have to...

• Need an app like xournalpp which can take help me edit and insert Latex into Pdfs

  I recently was looking for a note making app for editing, marking, drawing over a pdf file and a helpful person suggested me xournalpp, though this is very helpful, I have to install 7GB s of Latex app to even start inserting Latex text on my pdf, is there an app which doesn't need me to install Latex app(7GB) and can still let me put in Latex text on my pdf like Obsidian does?
