   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

• The fastest math typesetting library for the web

  Sure thing, a quick search yields Asciimath which seems at least at first glance as huge improvement in the syntax department: http://asciimath.org As for LaTeX in general, Markdown beats it soundly in most aspects. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Compilable Markdown for Linear Algebra

  What are the syntax differences to https://asciimath.org? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How to write more complex math expressions in AsciiDoc?

  I did some Googling, and thought AsciiMath is the answer (simply because it also contains "Ascii" in the name). Turns out it's a different solution. Source: almost 2 years ago

• LaTex alternative/replacement written in Rust?

  Math syntax is a bit more challenging, because I'm sure no one wants 12 even if that would make the grammar simpler. Attempts to do this are thin on the ground: as you note, Markdown and other similar tools completely punted on math. AsciiMath is one idea, although not what you want in a full-fledged typesetting language. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Rendering LaTeX in Markdown with actual LaTeX

  I like to use asciimath for this, though I realize that it's not as powerful as LaTeX or MathJax. There's a decent Rust port: asciimath-rs. Source: about 2 years ago

• Anybody have problems with bookmark organization like me?

  Bookmarks serve two purposes: - Quick access to commonly used links. For this, I built https://multi-launch.leftium.com - Saving a link for future reference. Often I want to also save plain text notes for future reference, so find myself using https://simplenote.com I have also used https://www.bkmks.com to save links. I'm working on an app that will help save and organize everything: bookmarks, notes, and tasks. - Source: Hacker News / 15 days 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 / about 1 month 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 / about 1 month 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 / 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 / 3 months ago
