So Long, Evernote

Evernote (EN) was great.

I'd used it since 2010 when I was in University. A good friend recommended it to me.

At some point, I started paying for the service. It was about $3 a month, I think.

After half a decade, I took a hiatus to try out Google Keep. I survived for a year, because I initially didn't have much note taking requirements. But plain-text is messy. And my ideas and notes became more complex and needed some structure to sort it out.

So I went back to Evernote.

But recently there was a tremendous price hike. $10+ a month for US, Canadian, and European (western bloc) users!

If users from the English/Western market are the majority users and are frightened by the pricing, it is not good for the business.

I had to leave Evernote.

What are good choices? I offer you the following:

OneNote - free, traditional note taking app

UpNote - affordable app most similar to Evernote

NotesNook - affordable, privacy-focused app. But unstable and doesn't support checklists

AmpleNote - task / journal app that is v.responsive but doesn't support checklists

Craft - beautiful journal app

I had some additional requirements (which may not be applicable to you):

Web App

Offline Mode

Version History

Checklists which are not Tasks

So I narrowed it down to OneNote - which is my anchor app is everything goes wrong, and Craft - which is my aspirational app if everything goes right.

I'm still evaluating Craft!

I'll start this off by saying: i am not really a writer, so i hope that my suggestions are useful to you

let me know if any links are not working (I've got two (2) and will be sure to send them to you and fix the post)

here are two (2) under the cut:

Amplenote

Amplenote is a website/app marketed for notetaking and to organize events/tasks you need to do (i imagine you can still use the notetaking section) , i have not used it, but I have heard of it before, here is a video on it:

[In this video] (about eight (8) minutes long)

In the video the guy (Shu Omi) talks about the different features of the website

it can be use on mobile and PC but he does seem to mainly use the PC, however he does go over and is seen using the websites/apps function on mobile and it seems like it will let you save across devices

there is a free option as well as paid plans

which I will just show here:

Notion

this one i do have experience with, although i do use it for organizing OCs and their lore/plot,

this one will be more on the moble functions as that's what i use it for but it can be used on PC, (and as far as I am aware you can save across devices) and it is free

there are free and paid plans

(you can see them here the Notion pricing website)

this is what the home screen looks like, you will automatically be give some notes(?) already

(Getting started on mobile, Quick note, Person home, task list, and lastly Reading list) (you can delete these, but I just have not for no particular reason)

next, we will look at what it looks like when you add a note:

(before you start typing) there will be a button at the bottom of the page that will say "choose a template"

you can choose from numerous templates, as pictured, I won't go through them (unless you ask me to)

if you choose "empty page" OR hit the blue "cancel" button OR not even choose the "choose a template" button and just start typing, you will be give this type of page: (I've typed in the page to show you the auto font sizes and what a comment looks like)

as you can see, it automatically gives you a space for the title (you don't need to edit the font size)

and immediately let's you start typing anf you can add a comments to your work if needed

at the bottom of the page,(which I gave cropped out), you will see this menu:

from left to right you will see:

AI button (I have not messed nor used it and in my personal opinion: BOOOOOOOO)

the + will give you a small window and you can scroll down, it lets you do many things such as:

changing the font from regular text to the different heading sizes

bulleted list (and numbered list)

lets you add different media (images, video, audio, etc)

and so many other things (omg this post is far too long) (sorry)

the reblog-like symbol will let you let you do most of the same text-based editing as the previous one

the photo symbol will let you add a photo

text/ 'Aa' will let you edit the text itself by letting you bold, italicize, cross out, underline, and hyperlink

next symbol will let you add a comment

next symbol will let you go back (undo button basically)

next will let you hide the keyboard to let you view your work

If you scroll up on the page, you can find these three (3) icons:

left to right

add icon will let you add an icon/emoji instead of a file icon (see my note that is titled Michael Fadeyev when I showed the home menu and how it has a bug next the title)

add cover will allow you to add an image (see my note that says Michael Fadeyev, how it has an image instead of being gray)

add comment let's you add a comment

above the "add comment" but next to the words "private pages" and share (link) icon if you click on that it lets you see all comments

I hope this was helpful in anyway, and sorry if it was not

have a great day/evening/night and have good luck writing :)

Anyone know any good apps or websites for writing, that has all the usual features and can cross save between devices?? I've been using word or obsidian on my home pc, but I'm getting tired of writing down my ideas in notes on my phone when I'm out and inspiration strikes.

I'm not using Google Docs for my own reasons, but I don't know any good alternatives to it??

Preferably free too, I don't got a lot of money to use these days

I understand it's usual to talk about blorbo fixations here but I hope my homies that also get hyperfixated on new organization systems are doing fine today

[chronotopes]

in some ways obsidian would be more useful than amplenote for my recent creative nonfiction but the last thing i opened in obsidian was my most recent sad abandoned attempt at learning to write more detailed sex scenes so i'm embarrassed about opening the app now

タスク管理2022年

タスク管理はずっと、 2年ぐらい前からSunsamaっていうやつを使っていた。その前はScrapboxにテキストベースで毎日新しいページを作って、前日のやつからコピーしてきて管理するっていうのをやっていた。

最近Sunsamaがちょっと毎月20ドルかかるのは高すぎるっていうことで、別のやつをちょっと探し始めたんだけど、Amplenoteっていうサービスに落ち着きそう。これはPKMとかをよく紹介している。ShuっていうYouTuberが紹介していたサービスで、一見普通のnote takingアプリなんだけど、Markdown形式で書くことができて、そこでTodoリストを作ると、プライオリティーとか期限を設定することができて、それを抽出するビューが生えていて、その日やるやるべき順番に並んでいるっていう感じ。

Todoリスト以外は普通のnote takingアプリだから、なんでもかけるので結構Scrapboxと自分的には同じような体験。

いろいろ見たけど、やっぱりテキストベースのタスク管理方法が自由度が高いから自分にはあっていそう。一応カレンダーも入ってるんで、Sunsamaっぽいことはできるけど、Sunsamaほど賢くないというか、いい感じにやってくれない。

ちょっとこれ��しばらく試してみようと思う。

does anyone know of a planner/to-do/note-taking app like obsidian or amplenote? both of them look great but rn they're experiencing glitches rendering the apps unusable

Das assinaturas de serviçõs

Tantos apps e serviços legais para os fascinados pelo mundo da produtividade pessoal, "note taking" e gestão da informação, mas todos com assinaturas cobradas em dólares, fica desanimador.

acredito que bons produtos devem ser bem pagos, porém o padrão de assinaturas dos bons serviços está girando hoje na casa dos $8 mensais, quando pago o ano inteiro de uma vez. Em dez/22 isso representa quase R$500, 40% de um salário mínimo brasileiro. Caro demais.

Testei esses dias um app chamado Akiflow que me ofereceu um desconto ao entender que eu usava o serviço do Brasil. Achei legal, me deu vontade de assinar só por esse cuidado.

Alguns serviços mais estabelcidos, como o Todoist e o Evernote, conseguem oferecer bons serviços a preços mais camaradas. Mas pq cresceram o suficiente. Os pequenos tem que cobrar caro.

Enfim, por enquanto vou ficar só na vontade de serviços como:

Obsidian

SuperHuman

Amplenote

Akiflow (mesmo com descontos)

Sunsama

Mem

E outros.

E vou ter que contentar com OneNotes e G Keeps da vida :-/

etc...

Oh my god this is very comprehensive and detailed, thank you so much for taking the time to find this :))

I've heard of Notion before but haven't really used it, but I might give it another try and see if it is something I could get into. Amplenote is new to me, but sounds very detailed and could definitely be a solid option.

I'll look into both options, they sound good, and even if they might not work for my writing they actually sound like they'd be pretty great for some other things in my life, so really, thanks a lot :)

AO3 Year in Review (that's the ship stats one) is out and you guys got Alhaitham/Kaveh to position 5 on the ship's debut year! That is incredibly impressive, congratulations to everyone involved!

I mean you literally out-wrote the biggest fandoms out there, those that have only one or two big ships. It is impressive, is what I'm saying.

Knowing that centreoftheselights focus her stats on ship growth I was stunned to find out Tartaglia/Zhongli lost 20 positions and both of my beloved ships that were ranking last year are just gone.

So of course I spent the whole afternoon collecting data to see what happened. Who do you think I am? A person without a completely unrelated essay to write?

Proceed beyond the cut if you want to see some Genshin Impact ship data.

So I had a question: what happened with our ships' growth this year? Time to do some data collecting!

Method

So here's what I did. Knowing that several writers have opted to archive-lock their fics in order to stave off the bots, I chose to collect the data manually, with my logged-on profile, and using the search operator created_at:["2023-01-01" TO "2023-12-31"] to restrict the search to works created in that time period.

This means backdated works don't make it in, but it may also mean that works which were fully written in the drafts before being posted at a later date count as being created in 2023 even if you posted it in January 10th 2024.

I'm not citing names here but I see you there and all I can say is please don't write directly in your drafts. There's no guarantee your fic will survive there. Have backups. Please. If you can't download an app/software, then at least use Amplenote. It's free, online and supports formatting of all kinds.

Method (really now)

Using the archive's filters set to all languages and the period up to December 31st 2023, I pulled the list of the top ten tagged relationships. Then, setting the period from January 1st to December 31st 2023, I did the same. With that data I graphed the growth pattern.

The data

As of my cut-off date, December 31st 2023, there were 163,902 works under the 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game) tag in AO3. The top ten relationships tagged were:

Tartaglia | Childe/Zhongli: 14571 works

Alhaitham/Kaveh: 9645 works

Diluc/Kaeya: 7295 works

Diluc & Kaeya: 6077 works

Venti/Xiao | Alatus: 4870 works

Albedo/Kaeya: 4442 works

Aether/Xiao: 4127 works

Tartaglia | Childe/Lumine: 4046 works

Chongyun/Xingqiu: 3524 works

Kaedehara Kazuha/Scaramouche: 3432 works

59,092 of those works were posted between January 1st and December 31st 2023. During the year, the top relationships were:

Alhaitham/Kaveh: 8591 works

Tartaglia | Childe/Zhongli: 3513 works

Alhaitham & Kaveh: 2446 works

Cyno/Tighnari: 2342 works

Neuvillette/Wriothesley: 1950 works

Kaedehara Kazuha/Scaramouche: 1810 works

Diluc & Kaeya: 1721 works

Diluc/Kaeya: 1551 works

Venti/Xiao: 1106 works

Aether/Xiao: 1101 works

Now, that's impressive growth, isn't it? Here's how that tracks over the historical number:

Just look at that bar. That was a single year! And Tartaglia/Zhongli had a nice amount of growth, more than any other ship besides Alhaitham/Kaveh.

So there it is, what happened. You guys are just absolutely amazing :)

Side notes:

1. Hm, what about Neuvillette/Wriothesley?

A fairly new ship that showed up on AO3 Stats ranked 68, with 1938 works. On my counts (with the locked works) the number goes up to 1950. So, not a small ship at all but also not close enough to enter our top ten.

At least not this year.

2. Is it all about smut? I bet it's all about smut!

It is not. When you exclude the Explicit tag there are still 46,001 works created in 2023. And, honestly, the Explicit tag can be used for gore and violence as well, so even that isn't a solid way to exclude smut from the count.

But if you're wondering how the ranking goes without the Explicit fics, here is the data for the works up to December 31st 2023:

Tartaglia | Childe/Zhongli: 10406 works

Alhaitham/Kaveh: 7330 works

Diluc & Kaeya: 5761 works

Diluc/Kaeya: 4651 works

Venti/Xiao: 4253 works

Albedo/Kaeya: 3759 works

Aether/Xiao: 3441 works

Tartaglia | Childe/Lumine: 3216 works

Chongyun/Xingqiu: 3165 works

Kaedehara Kazuha/Scaramouche: 2785 works

And this is the data for just 2023:

Alhaitham/Kaveh: 6545 works

Tartaglia | Childe/Zhongli: 2534 works

Alhaitham & Kaveh: 2115 works

Cyno/Tighnari: 1885 works

Diluc & Kaeya: 1645 works

Neuvillette/Wriothesley: 1467 works

Kaedehara Kazuha/Scaramouche: 1397 works

Diluc/Kaeya: 1057 works

Venti/Xiao | Alatus: 937 works

Aether/Xiao: 911 works

If this tells you anything, make it that people will tag a ship and either fade to black or just not put any sex at all in the story.

3. So, no love for gen fics?

No, no, no, lots of love for gen fics! Immense love for gen fics!

I'll talk about that in another post, though, because I have more graphs to make before I can post it.
