If Joplin ceased to exist, I’d have a much less painful time extracting raw notes from markdown files. If OneNote ceased to exist, I’d have a non-trivial task of getting the raw notes out of. md files in your “sync target” (for example Dropbox or Nextcloud) to get them from one device to another. Joplin then stores them in an SQLite database locally, but uses markdown. onenote file format, explained in this 100+ page document. The only safe bet at this stage is markdown and git. If it’s worth writing, it’s worth keeping. In fact, at the top of my website’s lab, I have a quote that contains the answer already! I then realised I had thought about this before. This story along with more reading about Zettelkasten made me think about the longevity of the notes I take. That hinders some users in keeping the simplest form of backup… But frustratingly you can’t save a OneNote notebook locally with the macOS version. Indeed, there is a lesson about maintaining backups here. I cannot fathom how soul shattering that must have been. all their efforts to restore access were unsuccessful.…because one day their Microsoft account decided they no longer had permissions to access their notebooks.a very unfortunate person lost 5 years worth of notes in their OneNote notebooks….I didn’t manage to dig it out of my browsing history, but to summarize it: This became the top priority, alongside Mobile App, after I read what can only be described as a horror story. (The tap-and-hold shortcut for OneNote always seemed to use a different “Quick Notes” section separate to my notebook unfortunately…)Īs both apps were suitably quick to conjure up a new note for capturing something, I wasn’t convinced to drop OneNote based on the app alone. Or from the homescreen tap-and-hold Joplin’s icon and tap the New note shortcut.
From there its two taps to start typing a new note. It always opens in the last notebook I was in, which for me (so far) is always my Inbox notebook.
One more tap and I was ready to type a new note. Then tap the icon on my phone’s homescreen and I was looking at the Inbox section. It allowed me to create a shortcut for opening a specific section within a notebook. Or maybe I left the tab open in my browser and didn’t save the link at all… Or if it just went in the catch-all channel. No searching in Slack wondering which vaguely defined channel I put it in. This is so I can easily find it later on my laptop. I want to create all new notes in the same place - let’s say, an “Inbox” - without having to think about it. The main function I want my phone to perform is creating new notes. Reduce the blackhole effect of Slack by taking notes in the same place on my phone and laptop.īoth the mobile apps of OneNote and Joplin suit my purposes - not a high bar to reach though. Mobile App #Īs touched on before, this was my initial catalyst. But with a bit of editing I have translated them into something that someone else might find useful.įor each item listed above, I will cover why it made my list and compare it between the two apps from my perspective. My notes for each were a bit of a jumble. As I read more, played around with OneNote and thought about how I had been using Slack and. To allow me to take notes in one place, from both my phone and laptop. On my way from OneNote to Joplin I started forming opinions of what I would like from a notetaking app.Īt first my only criteria was the existence of a mobile app. and Zettelkasten rabbit-hole, I changed my mind.
But, within a couple of days of falling further down the P.A.R.A. I did that because I’ve used OneNote in the past, so it was familiar. As explained in my previous blog post, I have started an experiment on my notetaking methods.īefore I had the idea for that experiment I dived into using Microsoft OneNote, because I was so excited to try out P.A.R.A.
