Is there any alternative to OneNote? Every other note taking app I've seen dosent allow pen input, and for Xournal++ it dosent have all the organisation stuff and bulk exporting

Thanks for your suggestions!

    I'm trying to self-host but there's something wrong with my nginx config and I'm too exhausted after work to troubleshoot.
    Ach, the joys of working in the IT industry.

    Lol.

    I’m assuming you’re using it as a reverse proxy? Funnily enough I never learned how to setup nginx, went straight to Traefik/Caddy. I can’t recommend Caddy enough, most service boil down to a 3-line config.

    Joplin's hand drawing is horrible.

    Aside from basic stuff like a ruler and backgrounds missing, it's force recognition is made so it makes the whole line thicker, and once its thick it does not become thin once I don't press on it anymore

    Also, PDF imports are missing, and the integration of handwriting into the note itself is very poor (just a link with a PNG render)

    Fair enough, though there are plugins with other drawing editors. Maybe one of them fits the bill?

    Also, PDF imports are missing

    What kind of PDF imports are you talking about?

    That’s probably a real limitation since it’s primary function is a markdown note taking app. It’s not as flexible as handwritten notes.

    Obs: maybe Affine is of interest, they also have a comparison table with other note taking apps.
