- A 30 minute video about opening up a text box and typing something into it for later, made for people who watch videos about doing that rather than just getting work done.
00:29 Requirements
4:10 Zettlr, VNote, and nb
5:48 Zim
7:50 QOwnNotes
12:31 The end of pretending this is about productivity
14:48 Emacs
21:18 Neovim
25:59 It never ends
27:12 Kakoune, Helix, Vis, Neatvi (I don't use these)
Please look at silverbullet.md, a browser based, MIT licensed markdown notes editor that seems very in line with my personal tastes. It would be up there in the A tier.
I’ve messed with Kakoune a bit and think I’ll make a follow up about taking notes in kak (and Helix) since there were some challenges and considerations. Emacs is the best all around for notes but can be slow, Neovim is the fastest and best supported, Kakoune has interesting consistent bindings and minimalist philosophy, and Helix is snappy and kak-ish but wordier and not extensible. I could just pick one and stick with it but why not overanalyze all of them more??
I love how he goes from “I need a simple editor” to “I love emacs” to “Productivity is a waste of time” to “I spent months making this video” in a single flow.
life is a waste of time, you gonna colapse and die some day, maybe tomorrow?
Well observed.
How a development of a small personal project usually goes
It's what makes this video so relatable.
He needs notes mode in emacs.
When I write a thing down in a note, I unlock the power to forget that note exists instead of just forgetting the thing. Now that's productivity.
GTD in a nutshell
At one time I had several copies of a single-line command in my notes. I ended up just google my query again and clicking on slightly purple stackoverflow link.
It just works!
yep, this is exactly the reason why I use notes software: more RAM for my brain!
More like swap for your brain's ram! Heheehehehe
I only read my note once.. When I write it
I love how this revives the classic battle between emacs and vim... and its not from a developer perspective.
So you were the one that stole the piece out of me.
@@junimeme5626 lmao
i love this video because everyone in the comments is like "reject complicated software, return to pen and paper notes" and I'm like, clearly you folks have never been in the bullet journalling community. i am a straight C student but damn do my monthly layouts look GORGEOUS
@@bobsmuggler9591 for writing monthly layouts of course
@@bobsmuggler9591Monthly layouts are a bullet journalling thing. Started out as a basic organiser by someone with ADHD, now you get people who make pinterest perfect looking bullet journals
Bullet journaling can also get overwhelming with emphasis going more on aesthetics than actually getting stuff done .... A simple functional bullet journal which ryder caroll first showed would be the way to go ...... Just a good dotted journal with high quality paper and a pigma micron should suffice .... I tried making my bujo aesthetic and all just couldn't keep up with it
@@idrisahmed2659I fell into the same trap of making my bullet journal look really nice and then not using it enough. After 6 years, I now do super simple dailies and then decorate after the fact, haha
This is officially one of my favorite CZcams videos ever.

same also, this guy is awesome... now I have to see other videos from his channel :D
EDIT : WHAT??? Only video on the channel???
idk how I haven't heard of this channel sooner, I'm loving every minute of this
EDIT: Cause it's his first video lmao. A damn good first video if I do say so myself
Indeed, pretty hard to find something this level in a subject so specific too.
Same for me. So informative and funny at the same time!
I think it’s time to pursue a career of breathlessly sharing opinions into the microphone while you also berate the audience for overly complicating their lives. It’s a damn good combo

I have zero intention of changing my note taking app, but this video was pure entertainment. Perfect use of time at work.
what do you use?
Obsidian
😂
It BLOWS MY MIND that someone hasn't just ripped off Notion's skeleton, put it into open source software, made it self-hosted and sat back in the sun. An open goal the size of the stadium itself.
There are multiple open source notion clones. Appflowy is one.
Dendron, Foam, they're all on githib lil bro
@@aslanfrenchBut do any of them use plain markdown and also have reminders?
@@henry-js Dendron is not an app, it's a markdown flavor, you still need an editor to use it
@@metternich05 no, Dendron is "an open-source, local-first, markdown-based, note-taking tool". All you need is VS Code installed and the Dendron extension.
Damn... I need more of this guy. How is it that we went down the same rabbit hole, but he went down it 100 times harder than I did.
we all went there 😭
It's confusing how relatable this was.
same, but I overlooked Zim and I'm in Joplin-Zettlr purgatory. Sometimes I need to write notes on my phone but Zettlr has no mobile client!
How the fuck didn't I find this just few weeks ago when looking for "foss google keep"...

That's what she said
This video was both a rant about productivity and also an educational piece on productivity. I bloody loved this!
you missed it being a rant about the Cloud
As someone who is just starting to learn Linux and thinking "man I should be writing some of this down" this video really was no help but boy was it entertaining!
The algorithm presented me this video. My CZcams watch history has one notes related video dating back to June 2021 for a notepad++ guide because I was modding video games.
Watching the entire thing uninterrupted, the video *feels* like it’s made for me, targeted to me. But I don’t need a notes app. My workflow does not need plain text productivity. I’ve never used Linux. The only thing that remotely referenced me in this video was using iOS Notes.
How does the algorithm do this? It’ll find a video I don’t need but it will absolutely be what I wanted to watch with dinner. Happy new years, creator who’s name I haven’t even checked yet
Edit: 32K subs?? How are you not a trending creator???
Why is this video simultaneously amazing and literally the ONLY video on this channel? Make more content simply because I love your energy/style.
Came to the comments for this
Oh my fucking god you just broke my heart. And then I realized you were kidding. And then I found out that you're NOT kidding, and that broke my heart a second time!
were old videos deleted? or did this one video somehow blow up and get him (as of time of this comment) 11.3K subscribers?
How is it effin' possible this is the only video on the channel. Enjoyed the presentation style, even though I had to crank up the speed to 2x to make it even more enjoyable.
Summary: Informative, snappy, well articulated -- and hey, some pretty darn good advice thrown in for good measure (if you just ignore the attempted insults; which I donno considering the target audience are propably mostly missing their mark anyway).
More of the same please!
@@agentsamMore of the same ?
Amen!

It took him months just to make this video...
This is his first video, but he has made it 17 times before he published it to CZcams
First video on this channel. I’m guessing he has had other channels.
@@Laotzu.Goldbug I fear not the man-
Your criteria for evaluating these align so perfectly with what I wanted, I can't express how useful this has been. Thanks for putting this together.
I am feeling so seen. Thank you for posting this amazing video which lets me know I'm not the only one with a collection of weird text editors and a wandering eye for more. It's obvious that it took a ton of work. It is exceptional.
Amazing video. I am that guy who writes everything in my iPhone notes app. It runs in my family. My father wrote an actual full length medical textbook in his iPhone notes app. We are truly at peace
You and your family have reached the zenith when others only look down. You're all welcome in heaven
I hate to say this but after trying literally 90% of the note-taking apps you talked about extensively (along with many other variants on iPad) and writing my own emacs and neovim configurations from scratch multiple times, now I use pen and paper for my notes😢 it's surprisingly good and easy to work with
I can't get over pen and paper. Don't let me walk into an office supply store or craft store. I dream of visiting Muji stores and the like here in the US.❤
Pen and paper is even harder that this. Search for antinet zettlekasten
I wanted to say this, I have apple notes for notes shared with my wife, basecamp for notes shared with work, and folder of text files synced with syncthing for stuff that needs to be digital, 1Password for sensitive stuff and my favorite place is my taroko design tomoe dot paper midori insert with my lamy safari rollerball pen. THe pen addict is a great podcast on stationary and writing tools. Pen and paper outlives any of my computer installs, is hard to data mine for ai, not subject to big tech, and while all my tools are ‘closed source’ it’s not meaningful with the competive marketplace for these things and vendor lock-in is non-existent. I used to hang around ex-spies, they said if you want it private, pen and paper.
And wait til you get some fountain pens with fancy inks. That's the road to hell and being broke
Guess I'm lucky, there's one Muji store here in Boston. 😂 But I know what you mean, the stationaries in Germany and Japan are on another level. @@abbylynn8872
I have never heard someone make so many completely true and relatable points in a row. This channel is amazing.
This is seriously the best video I’ve ever watched on CZcams. I laughed so hard I had tears when you talked about Emacs(which I love).

Kudos! Great video!
Yea, kind of refreshing. And you can see he has been on a quest for quite some time, like many of us. It's almost as if people like us are some sort of subculture. Punks, skinheads, emos, goths, fossnoters and fossseekers. It does feel like a freaking wakeup call to grow out of it xD
I know! It's shocking that he's so tech savvy.
This video is so well made and hilarious as well. I felt so called out throughout this. I love the no BS takes as well, super super refreshing
I have never switched back and forth from being offended to being entertained so often in half an hour. Subscribed
This is a fantastic video and I sincerely hope that you continue to make videos on simple and libre software.
That's the most beautiful peace of art I've ever watched on a CZcams from a channel with 203 subscribers! The way you've managed to mix the rant about the absurdity of the productivity circle jerk with an actual overview of a dozen (!!!) note-taking apps is brilliant. You're so damn talented!

I don’t even take notes that frequently. I just watch this video every so often for its pure entertainment value.
I never enjoyed being mocked more than by this video. Probably the best video I’ve seen in a long time !
as someone not named Amir, this still strikes me in the heart on how accurate it is
I've never felt so personally attacked before, but I'll probably forget by the time I'm done watching the next productivity video.
Instant subscribe! Inlove watching these passionate fun with IT tools videos. Yes, I am not getting work done, anyone reading this, this is a cry for help!
I love this video, this is one of the best videos about notes applications, funny honest presentation,
thank you for the reminders about productivity :)
I don’t think I’ve ever watched a video that has been so personally relatable in my life. But also as a college student who’s already being forced to learn vim, it is taking all of my strength to not immediately go and set up neovim at 1am.
Wait, who is forcing you to learn Vim!?!? Don't get me wrong, I love Vim and Neovim, but getting forced to learn them sounds terrible...
My sympathies. What college tortured you into learning vim??? Report the abuse!
@@tonchozhelevI know there's nano but when you are doing a practical course through ssh, I'm pretty sure teaching people at least the basics of vim is useful. Speaking from experience.
And yes, for any of you wondering, I'm that nerd who uses neovim for everything now.
I absolutely love your style. I don't think I've been this entertained, felt so understood and insulted while at least having the illusion of learning something interesting for a long while. Listening to you talk about this stuff is so much fun and so pleasant.
5 stars for this video on both common sense and entertainment scale. I probably spent more time watching note taking tutorials than I ever spent reviewing, let alone organizing my notes. 👍
This video was an absolute delight to watch, laughed out loud several times. Cheers and thanks!
Thanks for testing all these note-taking software for all of us.
When I was watching this video, I kept feeling more and more like it was made for me. Literally everything I was going to think was going to be addressed in this video. It's perfect. I really want to see more videos from you. Also can I just say how eerie that ending was considering my name and the fact that I just mentioned feeling like the video was made for me? Surreal experience.

Okay, but did you get stuff done after the video?😂
@@Roobiekunmy bet: trying 3 different note-taking tools before switching to actual physical Zettelkasten :D

This was so entertaining I kept watching even after realizing that chiseling my notes into stone is probably easiest note taking app.
This video had everything from being the usual funny youtube stuff, leading to self doubt and actual useful nuggets of information. Great video!
I love how the video starts with Notion, Obsidian, Evernote and ends with Emacs, NeoVim, NextVi, vis...
Isn’t it great 😂
Man, this video is most honest, most informative and most humorous one of those I've watched for months.
This is probably the best video I’ve ever seen. Well done
Did this video really just come out of nowhere? No backlog? You must have pruned some videos - this was good.
as a non programmer who uses evernote for like grocery lists: this was very entertaining and i will never use any of these programs. But damn this was fun to watch! Well done!!
Same. I went from Google keeps > Evernote > and finally Notion. While Notion was the winner of them all as it let me to customize a lot of pages including organizing my 50+ notes for each category and a mini wiki, it is really slow and slog to work with over time unfortunately.
I used Evernote on my phones for years and it's gotten slower and slower and slower to the point of having to open the shopping list before entering the supermarket to be able to read it before arriving at the checkout
Evernote is recently gotten fast again. Buy boy they've taken to violate your privacy - they're spyware now, as everyone else. They've ended up like all major soft vendors - but worse! They make the money from BOTH your monthly payments AND from selling your privacy. And yes, they likely get a tip from Goog when they get you to trust 'them'.
I used Zim in college, it’s pretty rad and the markup is simple enough that you can use it while taking notes. The big weakness is that the markup it uses is custom so importing your notes into a new software will require some manual fixing.
I'm tired of Google Keep 5 years ago. Then I'm tired of notes in Sublime Text 3 years ago. Then I'm tired of Standard Notes 2 years ago. Then I'm tired of Logseq about 3 months ago. Now I'm practice my Vim skills and ricing my own Nvim config... Also thanks for video: It is EXACTLY what I personally think and want from content creators! Great job.
We might've just found the first reasonable Linux user. Great stuff man, I'm hoping for more great videos from you!

Obsidian is close to perfect, and you can use it a way that doesn't even require the Obsidian software (in case they become evil), but it's nice that you explored everything else, and things I've never heard of. Subbed. Best, most thorough, most human take.
Yeah, markdown is nice that way. Future (and past) -proof.

Obsidian is not foss, huge deal breaker for some of us.

From the first two minutes I am already in love with your style
I browse CZcams religiously, and I’ve never heard of your channel. I saw your most recent video today and your style and energy and vibe are so unique and I appreciate the amount of effort time and quality you put into your videos. You’ve already had a significant amount of growth in a short amount of time and I’m excited to see where you go from here keep pushing out great content.
what App is he now talking about?
From the style and the quality of presentation I assumed this was a hidden gem of a channel that I was going to immediately binge through. I hope you take that as the massive compliment I mean it as, and that you make more videos at some point if you feel like it.

You nerding out over Doom EMACS had me rolling...thank you.
Dude this video rocks, your energy is off the charts and most of all I can tell you enjoyed the process of looking for a good notes taker and understanding the process. The answer is there's no answer you have to pick one and go.
What a GREAT review of outliners / information organisation.
" You are wasting your time watching a video on producttivity. Its not productivity! "
Mock mock mock. I love it.
I've been using outliners since Tornado came out on 3.5" floppies that i picked up in 1987 out of the Dick Smith electronics $2 buck bin (they were the demos sent to the store that they threw out). I was hooked . That turned into InfoSelect which peaked (insanely good search function , every note was represented like a dot on a map that looked like Nortons hard disk remapper. As you typed , dots (notes) fell away until you were left with the notes with your soundex search. ). Then the program started losing chunks of your information. Finally landed on (found) The Journal by RM David S/W. Not open source but it's been around for decades , its clunky, but fast, and i don't have to tweak it (much). Does everything i need.
Much easier to use and rock solid
You have immediately jumped into one of my top3 content producers!
How do you have such amazing presentation on your first video uploaded? The simple editing + your voiceover made the video so engaging and surprisingly educational. Good work!
I'been down that rabbit hole not that long ago. I ended up buying a pack of post-it sticky notes.
I love it. It is the most convenient way of keeping track of everything for me. My entire room looks like a mad conspiracy wall.
No encryption, but it's not like any person has or would ever enter my room anyways.
THIS DUDE went FROm NOtiOn to markdown to VIM to CLI I was Waiting to Binary to show up next. Lmao love your content bro!
This video is really great! Love to see videos dedicated to sharing great FOSS software! Was going to pay for an obsidian subscription soon but this has me re considering if I even need something that fancy
Please god keep making videos. I loved this. All of it. The tone. The subject matter. Was bummed to see you didn’t yet have a backlog of videos I could binge instead of being productive
It's been a revelation to me over the past year that people actually give a shit about note taking beyond writing down text and maybe some sketches.
I've rarely found note-taking useful as it's something that either works perfectly with a simple note on my phone, or is something for school/college. Yet if it's something "serious" like college I have lots of other resources as well that I need to read anyway to pass the exams, so taking notes is often a waste of time for me. It's either time that I could have used to read more material or simply that I never end up going back to read the notes I've taken.
With all this said, I'm now trying Obsidian to see if there really is something that I'm missing out. It seems simple yet powerful and for the most part it seems to not have any of the drawbacks of common commercial software solutions. I'll see if this is even worth it. If note taking ends up panning out for me, I might follow your tutorial.
Same with me, the only notes I took in the past where simple todos that where scattered around my file system and I quickly forgot they even existed.
Then I tried Obsidian and found that having all the stuff i think about written down in one place is really handy and it‘s way harder to forget a note now.
Also having your own little wiki that you can slowly expand over time when you feel like it, seems really great. Right now I‘m creating a little git wiki, so that I can quickly look up how to use some commands (because git is hard and I need to google way to much)
@@sebastiankrali2547 Thank you for sharing your experience. One thing I struggle with when using software like obsidian is that I'm not sure what's the proper way to organize notes within it, when to split off a section into its own note and link it, etc. Maybe I'll have to watch a tutorial or something.
Another thing I didn't mention in my original comment is that I've been through a similar thing to this whole "software to improve productivity regarding knowledge" thing in the past before, with somewhat mixed results. I've used Anki a lot for helping me memorize things in the past (it's an SRS software). The software really does what it purports quite well and it helped me memorize maybe 20 or 50 times more efficiently than I could before, if not more. It is sometimes described as a way to "hack" your brain, like a machine that never forgets. Whatever you put in the system, you end up remembering.
However, using the software is also a chore: configuring it feels like shooting in the dark, making notes is very configurable but overwhelming, the manual is really long and there's a bunch of add-ons and other software made to work with it that help you do even more or easy note making but you end up stuck in an endless tutorial hell of endless tool learning and configuration. In the end I ended up using it with mostly default values and with time, using it less and less, to my detriment. I haven't abandoned it and I always plan to pick it up again and really learning all the ins and outs of the software and add-ons around it, but I never do as I dread the immense time I'll have to sink in it.
I feel like this is gonna be another Anki. Especially obsidian and its "second brain" youtube marketing.
I'm teetering on the edge of the nvim/emacs rabbithole (already know all the most important vim binds) and started using Obsidian for uni (just started) and wow so far note taking has been way better than anything I've ever tried. Obsidian might be too fancy and bloated for this person, but for someone who is used to VSCode, its drawbacks are far less noticable. I'm going to lean more into nvim (probably?) anyways for software dev, but it's nice to see someone comparing all of these in this way. I hope Obsidian works out for both us in the meantime!
Updates? How was your experience with Obsidian?
I clicked play on this because of the emacs logo, wanting to hear what your experience with it was. Definitely interesting to see the perspective from someone who isn't using it for software development reasons, but also the whole video was very entertaining so thanks!

I ended up writing my own.
I use a simple python based wiki processor. I have a normal old-school wiki web interface. I also use emacs wiki-mode to edit the repo. Then there's the script that generates my (static) website from the wiki repo (which is all in a single directory.)
Works a treat.

Libreoffice? I used that sometimes and it's pretty good.
That was a lot of fun! Watched it to the end, wasn't even looking for a note programm. Now I have to learn Neovim!
This video made me feel better about my flat folder full of text files which is organized by sorting the files by date.
It's basic, but it works okay 🤷♂️
Honestly Obsidian hits all of these except in not being open-source. It's a rare case of a closed source program being my go-to. There's a paid sync service which is pretty convenient and e2e encrypted, but if you want you can sync with whatever cloud sync software you want which I do because it's cheaper. My quest still continues for a perfect combination of Neovim plugins that make navigating wiki-style notes as easy as Obsidian but at this point I think I'd have better luck making it myself.
Obsidian is good now but eventually they'll want to make more money and then the degradation will begin.
"enshittification" @@notusingmyrealnamegoogle6232
Yeah, that's where I'm at too, using Obsidian and syncing the vault between all my devices. I do worry that eventually the profit motive will either make it unusable or costly. It's already pretty slow on my Chromebook.
I often debate whether I should try to put together something open source now with all the headaches that go along with it, or wait until Obsidian inevitably ruins their software, and have that much larger of a collection of notes to migrate to whatever comes after.
The necessary features for me are templater (with folder templates), dataview, and the ability to easily take/edit notes on my phone. I wonder if I can do all that I need with some version of vim? Back down the rabbit hole I go!
exactly what i was thinking :D he went into org-roam graphs and i just sat there and was like: Broski is building a new janky obsidian thats open source. I am not even mad, thats super respectable :D
Obsidian is a No-Go for me, because they changed their licensing model. For me as a developer I don't wan't to spend 50$ for a commercial license for a software that (IMO) should be free
ive rewatched this multiple times and am about to do so again
Ngl I was so tired of all the apps that you were talking about at the beginning that I went to pen and paper. I'm glad that people like you keep looking for good alternatives.
Thank you so much for going down this massive rabbit hole, so I don’t have to!
This was way more entertaining and informative than I could of ever expected from a topic like this.
I'm still playing this game, and now you're making me really want to use Emacs again, and I don't know how to feel about that. Also, that subscriber skyrocket is well-deserved.
Its not 1978. Dont use emacs. That is silly. Emacs and vim are absolute garbage pieces of outdated trash software promulgated only by boomers who are sad they cant get a job because they are only proficient in FORTRAN
this is that once-in-a-year super specific video that I should have absolutely 0 interest in but is presented in such a catchy way that I just have to watch it.
Besides the standard tweaks to improve Emacs startup time, the best thing is to run an emacs client (first call will load the server). It dropped my load times from 10+ seconds back to ~1s on a windows machine. Also delaying load sequences for non-essential parts helps. E.g if you don't startup in org-mode, then delaying the initialization of org-mode can save multiple seconds on load time.
this is officially one of my favorite CZcams channels, so wholesome 🗿
The passion in this video is unmatched and I am so here for it
There's so much of this that I agree with and feel called out on.
I'm begrudgingly using Obsidian because the base setup works with my extremely simple patterns, and its default markdown for stuff like links and metadata works with lots of other editors (most of which frequently produce broken markup in others, but can at least read it fine).
I would kill for something without a terrifying business model and plugins with actual sandboxing (I'm looking at you, basically every editor ever. *How do you sleep at night???*). At this point I suspect I'll have to build it myself, but at least then I'll finally 100% noclip the productivity ritual.😮
I concur. I honesty think someone (maybe myself if Obsidian gets ruined) could easily remake the basic functionality of obsidian in a very short time.
@@johnbrooks7350 l believe that, it's incredibly simple.
What a masterpiece. Thanks for sharing your madness trip into the rabbit hole.
I loved your reference to 70s key combos, and while I know a few people had terminals in the 70s, most of us did not. We were using punch cards and waiting a whole day for our printouts to come back. That's the sort of experience that makes EMACS into dream productivity software. 🤣
I'm literally a programmer, you know, a guy that NEVER takes notes and I just use neovim with kickstart or whatever IDE I have to use for c# and Java and I'm 20 minutes into a video mainly about software I won't touch except for neovim lmfao. Subbed.

😅 one recommendation... do not switch note taking apps.. stick with notion even if you feel it's bad
atleast stick with it for 6 months...
i spend past few years due to shiny new apps.. now on neorg... and i can assure that there is no perfect app.. (neorg has potential, but not there yet...)
I just got this on my home page, I don't do any productivity stuff but I did enjoy having this nice man yell at me. 👍
Wow, suddenly I feel like I'm not alone. A little while ago I was lamenting all my notes were in a unique (even though open source) format and if the app I was using ever stopped existing, I'd be hosed. So I went through the trouble of finding an app that just uses text files and moving everything over. In the back of my mind I thought I was being a little crazy, but It's so nice to know that there are people who also worry about vendor lock-in.
Never got roasted so badly by a CZcamsr in my entire life. But thank you for the video 😂
I’m using Org-Roam in Doom + Obsidian. Wrote a link spec that lets me link into Obsidian Vaults. Now it’s just a matter of hitting F keys to trigger the base functions of Roam. Roam is birdseye planning with Obsidian vaults having all the details.
Wow - sounds nice.
Would love to hear more about that
Welcome to my subscriptions! This video is so awesome my brain deflagrated into a million pieces: I thought everyone else got mentally challenged and I was the last one not using Microsus software for taking notes!
14:45 _Fun is not a productivity metric, but life is short._ What a lovely statement. You made me smile.
