So much of what I capture in a given day is much more than that. Capturing TEXT is a fairly trivial problem. Capturing anything outside of a traditional desktop context is going to suuuuuck. You'll have to roll your own infrastructure including backups. Yes a full text search and wiki linking interface would get a fairly large chunk of the essential functionality done.

I would respectfully like to posit that perhaps you haven't fully thought through what makes EN and its ilk different. Beorg (iOS) is great but still pretty short on features. That _might_ be what finally gets me off EN but the mobile experience just isn't there yet. I dunno, I've tried em all and EN is still the best IMO. It's got a very usable api to integrate it into any part of your workflow they don't cover. Scan documents (and then find them with OCR). If you can't give me what I want in less than a few seconds you go in the bin.ĮN has the advantage of being available on Mac and Windows (and Linux w/ Wine), allows you to capture from literally anywhere and has a fantastic and fast search.

I need to be able to get a piece of knowledge on the go fast. Notion covers most of the bases but its an electron app and its SLOOOOOOOOOThats a dealbreaker for me. I prefer a nested hierarchy which I can get with tags in EN. OneNote is fine but I don't like they way it handles organizing data. Only ones that come close are OneNote and Notion.

I've yet to find anything that touches it in terms of features and functionality. Yes they have had some problems and I have even tried to jump ship (as recently as last fall when I gave DEVONThink a go). I find it weird that no one is mentioning that this article is written by an EN competitor.
