I’ve tried org-mode, but I don’t think I am an Emacs person... I’d like some Wiki-like software, but most of them need a web server to run, I’d prefer something which has a native Mac application.
I’ve been using Evernote for a while, but still I am not really impressed.
What do you use for organizing your ideas?
Notion is better because it's hierarchical (as opposed to "a bundle of independent documents" model of evernote/simplenote and pretty much everything else. And it has many unique features, like simple spreadsheets, trello-like boards, todo lists, dates and reminders and all of it presented in a cohesive UI.
You can see example of my notes at https://blog.kowalczyk.info/article/9a07ca64c0c14dc09e8bd134...
They are published on my website but the content is stored in notion (9a07ca64c0c14dc09e8bd134b348678d is the id of a page in notion).
In fact, all of my website is re-published from content stored in Notion. I also keep private notes there but ability to publish non-private notes on the web is a nice bonus.
To do that I wrote a Go library to access data from notion (https://github.com/kjk/notionapi) and wrote a Go program to convert it to HTML and publish on Netlify (https://github.com/kjk/blog).
Notion would be a great note-taking, organizational tool even without my custom hacks.
QOwnNotes is good, as well as many editors like Notable or Joplin.
If you want to use a wiki like dokuwiki or pmwiki, you can run a webserver on localhost like this: php -S localhost:8001
You don't need a web server like Apache if you want to run a wiki on your local machine. All the options I've listed above store your data as plain text files and you can therefore use version control.
That's a really nifty idea!
(Also second dokuwiki, it is probably the most useful and least annoying wiki I know of.)
