Interesting that this post was done today. Zoho Notebook https://www.zoho.com/notebook just announced a new feature to enhance note-taking: Embrace the future of note-taking with Noteboard

Remnotes’ easy flashcard creation and other student-centric features seem so useful for my upcoming studies. I have an online account and decided to download the desktop app which they claim works fully offline. Turns out you can’t do anything without logging in first. I found this to be misleading, since the impression they gave was that you can also use the app without needing an account locally. But maybe it was a wrong assumption on my part.
I’ll probably go back to Supermemo for spaced repetition. It’s not great, but at least it’s private.

This is an impressive list of software; should induce several months of CRIMPing, if not a whole year.
I see the point about Obsidian plugins, and share the concern about the lack of economic motivation for plugin developers. Although i use a lot of plugins, the only one I use that leaves its own text inside my notes is Dataview. I limit its use to specific notes where I keep Dataview queries, lists, and tables. If Dataview went bust, or if I leave Obsidian, there is only a small footprint left behind in only a certain group of non-essential notes. I also figure that Obsidian would probably buy out Dataview before they let it die.

I could have—and should have—mentioned both Milanote and Notejoy. I really like Milanote and have used it some what, especially to share photo options with others. I also like Notejoy—which feels a lot like an online version of Bear. Notejoy is primarily a collaboration service, though they offer a solo plan, but that’s why I am a little cautious about committing to it… most of the developmental effort goes into collaboration functions.

Another thing about Milanote: I feel as if Scrintal and Heptabase are going to elbow it aside.
