Hi all,
going trough college, it struck me that notes are still mostly a pen and paper business. At least, that is my experience, as well as my colleague's, for anything that is not plain text.
I found that there is no app that allows me to quickly mix together text, math formulas, code, images, sketches, graphs, and other kinds of media (yes, yes, I hear you invoke the mighty LaTeX... but can you write correct LaTeX on-the-fly?).
I would like to tackle this problem by building a platform for storing and sharing your personal knowledge, and it would help greatly to hear other people's insights on this matter.
So, what I am asking is: do you take complex notes with a computing device?
If yes:
how? what method, device, app?
do you re-process your notes offline?
would you like some functionality that you don't have in your system?
If not:
what is missing from current technology that would allow you to do so?
would you want to upgrade from paper to a computer or tablet application that suits your needs?
Thank you!
