Switched from Onenote to obsidian. There was a small learning curve and I had to install some plugins, but I love it. It looks amazing and runs so much faster than OneNote ever did.
So does obsidian support nonlinear spatially organised notes the way onenote does? I've been using joplin but without that onenote feature it's been a bit underwhelming tbh, and I can't find any software that does it.
You mean like the obsidian canvas?
That's the thing, thank you! I tried looking before and couldn't find anybody doing it. Maybe I discounted obsidian because it wasn't free or foss. If it's free now and the format is open then that helps a lot.
Note linking is what did it for me a few years back. It’s possible in OneNote, and clunky as hell.
I was sold the moment I read links can be wiki style in Obsidian.
I would love to move off OneNote but the lack of alternatives that support inking is disappointing.
For sure. I've been looking for a solid OneNote replacement for a few years now. Inking is the only major barrier.
I really like OneNote, and I've been using it for more than 10 years. But in recent years, my dislike for Microsoft has grown to the point where I feel I need to stop using all their products.
Right now I'm using xournal++ a lot. It has really excellent drawing functionality; but zero organisational functions. (I'm organising my xournal notes using just file names and folder structure.)
What I really want is integrated xournal support with Obsidian, or Joplin. In Joplin, I've tried inserting a pdf into my notes, and telling Joplin to open the pdf by launching xournal++. That sort of works; but the viewing of the pdf in Joplin shows a window-within-a-window; and the creating of new notes is fiddly; so I decided it wasn't quite good enough.
Obsidian has a plug in for this... here is an announcement from the plugin author: https://www.reddit.com/r/ObsidianMD/comments/1bsa6dy/alpha_release_of_my_handwriting_plugin_ink/ (sorry for a reddit link)
I moved from Google keep notes to obsidian.
As for the onenote its useful for its hand written notes.
Yea i know obsidian has it but i have so many old notes there. But I'm making new notes in obsidian itself
Was there a way to import your Google Keep notes into obsidian?
First use "importer" community plugin to import the zip file of Google keep (search Google for how to get that keep zip file backup)
Then use "consistent attachment and link " plugin to transfer images in sub folder accordingly.
Finished.
