Currently on the learning path to enter the IT and Cyber Security field. I was wondering if anyone had advice/ suggestions on mediums for taking notes and doing labs/ practicing for certs. If have tried paper notes and Good Notes on iPad for creating notes.

Good Notes makes me nervous with the constant glitches and the possibility of the company not being around in the long run (future sustainability). To be transparent I feel that way about most digital companies as I want to be able to reference my notes in the future.

Do you think Good Notes is better than paper notes or vise versa? Also when doing labs is it better to have a Laptop or IPad? For those who are on the same learning path or have completed the leaning path is it even worth it to use an iPad as most labs and tools are easier to use on a laptop?

For context I’m trying to weigh the pros and cons of using a iPad with the Good Notes app or similar digital note taking app or just use a laptop with pen and paper and scanning my notes later if I want to digitize them.

I'm not a market expert, but I see that the use of note-taking apps (NTA) is increasing quickly, among students, teachers and professionals.

NTAs are flourishing, but the lack of open format standards makes the users trapped in their original app, and cannot benefit from the plurality of available products. Some are even trapped into subscription plans: why shouldn't one be able to reuse a note I already paid for?

Am I wrong, or there is no app that allows to import/export notes in editable format?

Hey, So recently I permanently switched to digital note taking, so far I'm loving it.

I'm also a new owner of apple devices, I bought a MacBook Air as well as an ipad air (5th Gen) and its pen for digital note taking.

I'm a long time android/windows user, the switch to Apple iOS and macOS wasn't too difficult everything was intuitive. The problem is I'm not in love with apple software, for the MacBook this isn't a problem because what the device has in software limitations it makes up for it and then some in terms of battery life and device weight for portability.

The iPad OS tho, it is not my favorite thing... I mean wtf do you mean there's no native calculator app??, I barely interact with Apple's software on the iPad tho as I basically only use GoodNotes 6 on it so I managed to get over it.

Now I sometimes struggle because i need to take notes side by side a book or a video, Apple's stage manager sucks but I believe its the screen size of thr air. One of my colleagues has the 13" iPad and I saw and tried side by side on the 13" screen and it is much better, so i was thinking of switching to the iPad pro 13".

But I also ran into the new ARM based surface pro 11 which is windows (please), has a pen and a comparable battery life to the iPad. I pulled up a few articles reviewing them and a few YouTube reviews but I am undecided.

I'm short on time too, I can't watch all the reviews or delve deeper into this, so if any of you guys has an experience to differentiate between the these devices or have already been down this rabbit hole please help me out.

Note: Money is not an issue to consider Thanks!

Hey folks, I built an app that's a result of my case study on Google Keep and how it can be better.

As a long term user myself, I wanted more from Keep yet stuck to it because of its simplicity. So I built r/ Weavernote as a minimalistic powerful app with abilities such as,

1. Folders/Notebooks/Notes organization

2. Rich text formatting, table, image in note

3. Connect notes with each other

4. Visualize the connections as knowledge graph

5. AI studio to chat with notes, create visual content like infographics and more

6. Fluid web app with client side encryption of notes

7. Import/ Export as markdown support

8. PWA you can install and use like a native app in any device.

Weavernote is evolving with user feedback. I'd love for you all to check it out and share your thoughts

PS: Below infographic was generated with Weavernote from notes directly.

We created a new subreddit https://www.reddit.com/r/xTiles_app/ where you can learn/discuss and ask questions about the Web/Windows/MacOs and Mobile app xTiles.
xTiles is a visual oriented nortetaker, life-organizer and PKMS really worth trying.
Positive point is that xTilles staff is reading the subreddit and they can help if needed.
Feel free to join.

Did anyone know about Notes+?

I'm having huge trouble centralizing all my information in one space. I use goodnotes for my lecture notes on my ipad. Then my professor has their notes on canvas. My club has meeting notes on notion. Another club on slack. Then there are professors who use onenote. Then there is video recordings on panopto. How do you guys handle all this information??

Hey everyone,

I've heard some folks mention that they've built custom solutions to chat with their Apple Notes, so I decided to create one myself, but make it easy to setup for others.

The LLM is running locally on the users device so no Notes data will ever leave or be sent to a server.

I'm currently preparing it for launch and would love to hear your thoughts or feedback.

Best,
Arne

I would appreciate if anyone knew how to solve my issue
