  • I Was WRONG! Evernote vs Notion vs Other Note Taking Apps
    What is the perfect note taking app? I’ve been a big Evernote user for a long period of time for capturing knowledge and creating a second brain but recently I’ve gotten more and more into Notion so I’m going to dive into the world of note taking apps and give my thoughts on how to choose the app that’s right for you and look at how I use note-taking apps.

    Notion does not have an offline mode and is therefore not suitable as an application for taking notes (IMO)

      For me, if the application doesn’t have a proper notebook system, it can never work as a note taking app.

      @@xevenau --I kept reading about people losing their notes in Notion. I've gotten a little more used to Obsidian. If you want something hard to wrap your head around, try Anytpe or Capacities. These are examples of object-based note taking. Very hard for me to get used to these.

  • @hariprabukrishnasamynaidug3629

    I'm using remnote but most of the time, the app is too buggy. I really like writing in remnote but at that same time, I want to use project management tool as well. If I go to notion, I will miss out the portal function in remnote, which I often use it. What do you suggest? Using both the app or stick with any one ??

      I stopped using obsidian as it lacks bi-directional linking. Moved to logseq since 3 months , its very good in bi-directional linking and outliner is natively build.
