Like many others, I have been looking for a powerful cross platform note-taking tool. I like to use only crossplatform tools to prepare for my eventual switch to Linux.
The function that I would need most however appears to still be missing—- a web-clipping tool that allows the user to copy portions or entire webpages into Ariadne along with a “Pasted from: http:www.blaablaa” annotation that explains the origins of the clipping.
I imagine there must be a good market for such a cross-platform tool. As far as I know, there is currently no such tool. The few contenders are not very capable: Keepnote (appears to be abandoned), Cherrytree (develops at a snail’s pace), NoteCase Pro (seems to develop quickly but even after 5 years still lacks a webclipper which is odd in this day-and-age of the internet).
I was unable to find the developer’s email address on the Ariadne website—I’d hoped to send a few suggestions.
Overall, Ariadne looks really quite promising!

Have you tried Nixnote / Nevernote, the Linux - Open Source port of Evernote? I find it capable and believe it is under steady development. Its advantage here is that you can use the Evernote web clipper which syncs with the Evernote cloud and, through it, with all clients.

You might have a look at org-mode. It’s an Emacs major mode and is the best note taking (among many other features) program I’ve found. Org-capture lets you take notes and send them to whichever file you designate all without losing your place. I use Org for all my writing and note taking. Org now comes built in with Emacs. Emacs is available for all major platforms, is free and org is under active development. Great stuff.

Hi. My name is Yuriy and I am a bit involved in Ariadne development, at the level of basic testing. The idea of web-clipping is not new, somehow
implementation was always complicated, will drop email to developers.. And the latest 6.11 version has some fixes and enabled trial.
PS. Emacs Rocks!
