Had been looking for a very simple notes app on Linux for a while and just discovered FromScratch via GNOME Software. Love it!
@aral does it support markdown?
@epifn Not that I can see.
@aral damn, I really wanted to replace Zim as a note app.
@aral I had been checking a lot of these and my favourite turned out to be QOwnNotes. Especially the way it organizes and stores notes (no database, just folders and markdown files). Works great with SparkleShare or Nextcloud.
@aral have you ever tried orgmode (emacs) ?
Is it in debian packages?
Interesting. Last time I used Linux on the desktop for any length of time the thing that I missed most from the Mac was a good note-taking, note-book type of app.
It was weird because there's such a large number of good ones on Mac OS and such a dearth of them in FOSS-land.
@aral Looks good. I use note taking apps but live off my "scratch.txt" during the day - and FromScratch is nice and unobtrusive.
@aral I bounce around among note systems a lot (which causes so much workflow disruption!) but I've been returning to Zim for awhile.
@uniqbits Thanks, will take a look :) Appreciate it.
