Comment on OneNote to perish alongside Windows 10.
mr_jaaay@lemmy.ml 2 weeks agoThere are boatloads of various note-taking apps, both open-source and not, that are much better than OneNote. Take a look at noteapps.info/features, where you can browse by specific features you’re interested in. I’ve just recently switched from running DokuWiki for my homelab documentation to Joplin and I’m really loving it so far (I’ve setup sync to Hetzner’s S3 service).
The only thing that’s been keeping me on OneNote is the handwriting stuff. I keep trying to move to Obsidian cause I like it but I take notes on my iPad constantly. As much or more than on my computer.
And I really like how OneNote will take my chicken scratch and use OCR to turn it into actual text.
I can understand that. Maybe check the list I noted above, I’m pretty sure quite a few can do handwriting recognition (doesn’t the iPad’s native handwriting recognition work with Obsidian?). Though I understand the ‘don’t fix it if it ain’t broke’ inclination as well…

Thanks for the link. I just setup joplin and joplin server.
I migrated all my old samsung notes to joplin.
Sadly I still can’t replace OneNote. There is no open source alternative for an infinite canvas with proper custom server based sync that helps to resolve conflicts. Logseq looks pretty good but the server sync implementation is not open source.
