What to use to take digital notes?

Prophet · Feb 2017

Right now I'm using Google Docs to share my notes and thoughts I have so I don't lose them, but it's not so great to have that extra tab open for this purpose. I'm wondering if there's anything similar to http://www.pureref.com/ but for notes?

I use the Polycount wiki for stuff I think others would also be interested.

For other info I want to save I have my own local private wiki. Not as easy as pen and paper (got that too) but nicely searchable and crosslinkable.

I honestly just use Google Keep. I can use it both on my desktop and my phone and it stays persistent between the two.

OneNote
works on all devices, you can share notes with ppl and collaborate on the same note etc.

PureRef has simple notes, press CTRL + N to create one.

Yes, I know about that, but it's not the most convenient way. It's really nice for image references. Right now I'm using Evernote, but I'll check this Google Keep that bounchfx spoke about. Sounds interesting!

Seconding GoogleKeep. It could have more features imo, but the simplicity is nice.

I'm also using Evernote, but may look into GoogleKeep

Evernote. I got too much stuff there to migrate (study notes, tutorials, code snippets, reference pictures, bookmarks, articles, etc.) and OneNote is a bit too simple for the way I want to organize my notes.

I installed the extension for Chrome of GoogleKeep, but everytime I save a link from a page with the Right-Click, it doesn't show up in GoogleKeep page. Any suggestions?

Echoing all calls for GoogleKeep or OneNote. Never heard of PureRef, though. Definitely will check it out.

Prophet · Feb 2017

Well, I guess Evernote + Evernote Chrome extension is the best so far. Google Keep looked promising but I guess it's bugged, doesn't work properly.
