First off wanted to say thank you for everyone who chimed in on my last post a while ago starting my privacy journey

Anyways with my classes starting up again I was looking for a OneNote alternative as I almost had a small oopsy daisy with trying to move my OneNote off of OneDrive and hey Microsoft I appreciate backing up files but I have proton drive for that

Anyways as for a one note alternative stuff I do have a few requirements and preferences:

  1. I use a surface with a touchscreen and a fold back keyboard to use as a tablet and a pen for handwriting notes but I also like to type sometimes so something that has palm rejection and plays nice with with the touchscreen

  2. I use it across multiple devices, mainly note taking on the aforementioned surface laptop but also view them on my home computer since I do some schoolwork on that because nice monitor and keyboard :) but I’m mostly just viewing on that computer - basically I would either like cloud saving to get that across devices OR the ability to save the files to proton drive

  3. Not really a necessity but the ability to organize notes like one note where I can have a “book” > “category/chapter” > “page”

Really point 1 and 2 are my priority but if I had to choose I’d say point 1 with playing nice for the touch screen and pen takes priority but I also definitely wouldn’t mind having something that makes it easy to save with ideally a cloud save that does the work for me but I’m probably capable of setting the directory to save it to proton drive

    You said there’s no nesting, is that the equivalent to pages in one note since that is somewhat important to me

      Notes are organized alphabetically in folders in Obsidian. The philosophy behind it is that it really wants you to be using links to connect notes to each other rather than hierarchies.

      It wants your notes to be like Wikipedia, not a chronological notebook.

        That definitely sounds a little weird to me but another comment said there’s plugins or addons or something would there be one for organizing them or probably not
