This is longer than the usual #discuss post, but I'd love to hear about how dev.to takes their notes....

I use visual studio code as my editor and I make notes using markdown. Initially it was a bit difficult, but I got used to it now.
I use,
dash(-) to list the points,
[ ] for todo item and after completing I make it as [x].
For important items, I make it bold using **.
I commit the notes to my private bitbucket repo, and as it's markdown I get pretty clean UI when I refer my notes later.
very creative way, at the same time, if you are working at the same IDE it would be very easy to just jump to next file and update your notes, I like it.
I use usually libreoffice spreedsheet , I've made a table with the routine that I do everyday, and the goal for the day. so every day has different sheet, and every spreedsheet file has 30 sheet for 30 days. I find this very productive and make me more consistent with the tasks
thanks a lot
Do you have this in a synced folder so you can take notes across machines?
I sync the notes using 'git' on my private bitbucket repos.

I've historically struggled taking notes in my editor/IDE (/shrug). For anybody looking for a solid markdown note taking app, I really like using: boostnote.io/
Hey that might be the tool I need. Thanks for sharing.
Bullet Journaling has been the most natural and easiest way for me to keep notes as well. My system is setup a lot like yours, but I keep two notebooks. My main notebook is set up as simply as possible (I do add some color to the monthly log but that's it) and the second notebook is for uniquely work related things (meeting notes, project design, brainstorming, etc).
Thanks Gunnar,
Great article, thank you! I do basically the same thing but use Joplin, an open source alternative to Evernote. Joplin syncs across devices and they have a mobile app. It has more features than the free version of Evernote and this project is constantly improving. I have all my notes at my fingertips on any device no matter where I am. Might be worth a look to you and others.

Favorite topic of mine :)
I'd been looking for a software tool for this for about 7-8 years - went through ConnectedText/OneNote/Evernote until I found out InfoQube two and a half years ago.
It is the closest thing to the holy grail in terms of note taking, and personal information management for me. Because the software gives you so much flexibility it can be rather confusing at the beginning, but you will appreciate the freedom later on. It has Evernote import too.
Check it out.
I'll have to check that out
Hey! Bullet journalling buddies!
I'm going to adopt your eyeball icon. Thanks for sharing!
I didn't invent the eyeball icon, but I love it all the same - hope it's useful!
