Ask HN: What app/system do you use for saving notes?

4 pointsby methochrisover 7 years ago
I&#x27;m making a note-keeping web application and am looking to do a bit of idea validation. I&#x27;d really appreciate if everyone that read this could answer any or all of these questions:<p>A) Do you have a system for saving information to reference later?<p>B) What is your currently preferred app&#x2F;system&#x2F;setup for doing so?<p>C) What is one thing that bothers you about your current system you wish was done differently?<p>I&#x27;d love if you could give an up-vote and maybe get this to the front-page for maximum exposure. Thanks!

I use Apple Notes because it’s free and always on my devices. Used EverNote in the past but then they started charging. I bought an iOS app but they went to a subscription fee.<p>Personally, I’d prefer a Markdown with Github integration. I moved some of my notes to Github in .org or .md format:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;melling&#x2F;MathAndScienceNotes" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;melling&#x2F;MathAndScienceNotes</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;melling&#x2F;LanguageLearning" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;melling&#x2F;LanguageLearning</a><p>Save your notes to Github and use Markdown so people don’t feel locked in.
