My desk is filled with papers. Small and large. White, yellow, light green,
pink and blue. Written with different pens.
On my hard drive is the same. But I cannot find something suitable. It has to
be managed by the filesystem. It has to be text, even if adorned with markup.
It does not need encryption as EncFS does it far better and more uniform.
*What do you use?*
OpenOffice / LibreOffice: too big, nothing impressive to index many text
files.
AbiWord: lighter, but so white! And no index for text.
Tomboy? It needs that huge beast Mono. Don't know much about its database.
Looks like a single file in a precise location.
Basket Notepads? Too complex. The project seems dead.
Zim Desktop Wiki? Looks very promising. It crashes all the time on all
platforms.
Xpad and other postit apps: rather messy with lots of windows and limited
export - import capabilities.
Xournal: quite interesting. Mimics paper. But less good on indexing plain
text files.
RedNotebook: cute. Seems to do what it says. But I can't find a way to click
away all the other panels.
MyTetra: A nice portable app that does all I need, only it can't export and
it's slow on development.
The guide: windows only.
Cherry Tree is my new favorite. But it wants to keep all the notes in one
place. Yet it's flexible about it: either xml or sql.
Keep Note: seems to be the successor of KeyNote.
KeyNote: windows only
Gjots2: a clone of Kjots
Kjots: no oppinion
Lifeograph: no oppinion
Vim or another text editor? But how to track all the other notes and index
them, do searches and link them together?
