Ask HN: Favorite note-taking software?
One problem is that some notes tend to become spread out and somewhat chaotic, especially when having to multitask under time pressure. Many notes taken have little if any value after some weeks or months so I don't pay much attention to strict discipline there. Zim is essentially a somewhat messy lab journal intended for myself.

The 7 Best Note-Taking Apps for Programmers and Coders
There are other apps like CherryTree, including wikidPad and Zim, but CherryTree supports a special page type specifically for code. Use regular notes for ideas and tasks, use the code notes for snippets. As far as the page hierarchy, both types work the exact same way.

  • Sent – simple plaintext presentation tool
    Https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ And I just tweaked the CSS and added a bit of logic to included the possibility of one image per slide; as well as editing slides not with raw HTML but with https://zim-wiki.org (because that's what I'm really used to, I'm sure any Markdown thing would work just as well). - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago
  • The rise and fall of the standard user interface
    Absolutely; recently I realize I wish I'd never learned vim. I use too many other programs that are at least CUA-ish ( http://zim-wiki.org is the most important app I use ) and now I kind of want out. I haven't yet tried Modeless Vim, but that looks like my next experiment. https://github.com/SebastianMuskalla/ModelessVim. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
  • Writing HTML in HTML
    It is so hard not to feel REALLY SMUG reading stuff like this, as someone who has run my own website as the working primary source for my college instruction for the past 15 years or so using https://zim-wiki.org. (before Markdown was much of a thing!) It's borderline bizarre to have watched this method of doing things kind of die out, and then also come back in the form of "static site generators" --... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
  • QOwnNotes
    I've been looking into QOwnNotes as a "simpler" replacement for Zim[1]. Unfortunately, it isn't really trivial to convert a notebook that I've tended to for a decade, and from first impressions, it lacks the WYSIWYG aspect. [1]: https://zim-wiki.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
  • A structured note-taking app for personal use
    And it is important to figure out what PND (pain/need/desire) your application should really satisfy. [1] https://zim-wiki.org. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago
