Do you OneNote?

Good old Ecco(Pro). It was kept alive for years by Compusol Creative Solutions and "slangmgh". I never mastered all the views, but it was the best outliner/list keeper I've ever used.

What, no UPS?
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.
Ahem, a UPS will not protect you from the dreaded "We're from Microsoft, and we're here to help - rebooting now" malware attack. :) but point taken.

I am going out on a limb here so if I am breaking rules just delete the post A while back the lounge had a discussion about "The Best Way to Store Code Snippets" Rick Zeland did his Slant thing. JoanA ask why not write your own? So I DID While I am novice compared to the likes around here. I like to say its amazing. You have two options to store Code Snippets. 1. As text files you store in a folder on your hard drive 2. The more robust way in a SQLite DB so they are revertible by code language type I am willing to share the code or an installer exe file that has an uninstaller Code is written with VB.Net and is a WinForms application. I have a GitHub repo but do not know if I am able to post here a link. I would post in the Questions but not sure I can add a link and that seems like an inappropriate place to Post. I would enjoy writing an article but sorry to say the explanation of how to do that is less than friendly. If you respond I can share a link to the GitHub repo
Hi, could you post the Github repo? I would like to take a look at it. Thanks!

Haven't given it much thought; the Home screen mentions shopping lists and such. Been working on a project that references multiple pdfs; with tables referencing other tables and appendixes and procedure paragraphs. Mentally exhausting. Started "snipping" everything using Snipping Tool; pasting it into OneNote however I wanted. Access times reduced to a minimum; a new, more relaxing study experience.

Switched from OneNote and Evernote to [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/).

I use it for documentation. I have a suite of network automation tools and I use OneNote as a repository for each project from start to current. You can divide each project page into sections for troubleshooting, program purpose, change history, etc. I link in specific network folders for project files and documents. It is easy to navigate and search.

Thanks Not sure how to communicate without posting my email address Feed back on the design would be greatly appreciated https://github.com/e-d-n/Code-Vault GitHub - e-d-n/Code-Vault: Program to Store Code Snippets in a SQLite DB or On Your Computer C Drive[^]

I love OneNote for dumping notes in. if you have the full office I would suggest adding on NoteHighlight it allows you to insert formatted and colored code in quite a few programming languages. also using it to checkoff tasks or reminders, cheat sheets, locations of things on the servers.... my only issue is going back one in a while and cleaning up my notes. If I ever leave this place, they are going to keep the OneNote backups safe.

I've used it before at work and it has a lot of features. However isn't it tied to the Microsoft eco system? Does it exist outside of Windows? I'm a big Notepad++ user, but I also save a lot of notes in a TiddlyWiki for various projects. Anyone else explore TiddlyWiki? https://tiddlywiki.com/

I used to - but after losing data through broken cloud synch a few times, I've given up. I'm using text files and markup(with images) - with a python script that indexes the lot. At least I can validate it's being saved and grep across the detail if I need to do a word search.

So you're saying that asana is more than you need? It absolutely has no rules on where you put your random notes, so it covers that nicely as well as things that you want more structure for. iow: a poor version (maybe it's better to say, 'a very limited sample') of asana.
No, I was just saying they seem to put a lot of emphasis on pretty graphs showing progress and dependencies and relationships and those sorts of things (again, judging purely from screenshots on their main page. Maybe it could do the job for my simple note-keeping, but that's not how they're trying to sell it. That's where I stopped looking - mostly because I have a tool that works and I'm not trying to replace it.

I use a 20yr old delphi tool called ActionOutline. A Spell Checker and slightly improved export feature set would be welcomed... LOL But for similar things. I take meeting notes, track things. It's multi-tabbed (multiple open projects). And then it's an outline. Very easy to navigate. In any outline, F3 lets me search downward from where I am. I do store snippets of commands, SQL, etc. In some files, TODO items, Recipes. Etc. Many many years ago there was a fancy tool. the BIGGEST downside is that it is SO GOOD of an outliner, that I prefer it over everything. LOL And then you go to use MSFT Project, and you LITERALLY WANT TO CHOKE SOMEONE!
