What Hacker News says

I use quiver for both notes and bookmarks (https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver), with the data residing on Google drive. My reasons (YMMV): 1. The data format is clean and open. At some point if the app becomes unavailable for whatever reason, I can write my own to retrieve my data. Or someone will. 2. There's an unofficial app for Android called "quaver". It's not very polished, but when linked with a folder synced to Google drive, it allows me to access/edit my notes on mobile. 3. Search is pretty good. You can tag stuff, arrange by folders, and search. 4. It can store attachments. 5. Sometimes if I think I need an offline version of a page, I just do a copy-paste and save it in quiver. Or sometimes I just save the page as PDF and add it to quiver.
In Ask HN: How to handle bookmarks so you can find them again?
Sorry, you never will! By 'crude' I really meant it; and not just the UI, but the code. I thrashed it out as a kind of spike and it won't ever be seen by anyone but me (and even I only look reluctantly). Writing a proper Android version is currently tying for first place with a micro.blog (http://micro.blog) client for my next project. Should you really be interested in a Linux version, Quiver's author has written up the json format: https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver/wiki/Quiver-Data-Format. It seems simple and sane. I also like the general notion of "Standard Notes" (https://standardnotes.org/), but can't see text-only notes becoming 'standard' in the 21st century.
In Show HN: Milanote – A notes app for creative work
I've been using Quiver (http://happenapps.com/#quiver). It's for Mac but I think it does the job. Although links are not created wiki-style, they are kept when you export your notes to HTML and they don't break when you change the note's name. Quiver is also propietary but it is possible to create other scripts to export the notes (https://github.com/HappenApps/Quiver/wiki/Quiver-Data-Format). In any case, I'm also looking for better personal wiki solutions. So far, there is no clear answer. At least for Mac.
