What is your methodology behind note taking and other research related services you host? (lemmy.selfhostcat.com)

my methods have been:
use trilium for any detailed notes and documentation
memos for random thoughts especially if shorter
pen and paper when offline or on mobile because mobile trilium and moememos both suck
zotero for citation and bibliography manager
backed up to nextcloud
i have paperless-ngx but found it randomly errors a ton of things and zotero is fine.
considering if it’s worth it to have so many different spread out methods
theyre fun to use but it creates more chaos then needed

What do you like about hedgedoc?

[-] hedgehog@ttrpg.network 1 points 1 day ago

Hedgedoc is fantastic. If you’re okay with your notes app being web-only (without an app or even a PWA) and you don’t need canvas notes or multi-note queries, you should check it out.

First, every note is Markdown, but it supports a ton of things natively. It has native Vim, Emacs, and Sublime (the default) editors and it’s built to be great for collaboration (if you want).

It also has

syntax highlighting for a ton of languages
Mermaid.js support
LaTeX support
easy drag and drop image uploads
a solid mobile interface (for a webapp in your browser, at least)
built in revision history
support for other diagram tools, like graphviz, flowchart.js
a bunch of other little Markdown enhancements that make using it feel oddly intuitive

And best of all, they have a Hedgehog for the icon! (I may be biased.)
