   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

• 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 / 2 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: 5 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: 10 months 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?

• Best note taking app with handwriting support

  The only app that I've found that has all those features is "write" by styluslabs: https://styluslabs.com/. It isn't open source, but it is available for free. It's cross platform, with ios and android apps too. Seems like it's a passion project by a single developer. I've been extremely happy with all of its features. I use its whiteboard feature for collaboration, and I've found it to be lag free and a much... Source: 12 months ago

• Cool Desktops Don’t Change

  I totally agree with you. One Note is fantastic and I would like to use it but not being able to open the notes in linux makes me avoid it. Do you know if there is a way of opening One Note notes in Linux without using the webapp? (I don't even need to edit them!) In the meantime, I'm using stylyslab write [0] which uses svgz and is a good replacement for OneNote and a compromise I'm willing to make to not be... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Libre Office Draw supports editing PDFS!

  I've personally found write by styluslabs to have better pen input than xournal++ (using surface pen on surface go). Source: about 2 years ago
