Anyone know of any good places to find apps and software that doesn't require the cloud to function? Not strictly self-hosted just "cloud not required".
And recently this was presented here too: https://github.com/LinwoodCloud/Butterfly

Rnote – An open-source vector-based drawing app
I highly recommend Rnote to anyone on Linux that misses the "hodgepodge" notetaking of apps like OneNote. It works like a dream on touchscreens and drawing tablets, with a surprising amount of configuration under the hood.
Also worth noting is Xournal, an older but similar project: https://xournalpp.github.io/

Book list for streetfighting computer scientists
I've been using Xournalpp[1] for many years, highlighting books as I read them, adding in text/hand drawn annotations in whitespaces if necessary. Unlike other PDF readers/annotators, it saves a separate file, so the original PDF is untouched. It can also export the annotated PDF as a new PDF with highlights and annotations.
Obsidian[2] also has PDF support, where you can open a markdown document side by side with the PDF to take notes as you read. I think it also lets you highlight the PDF itself.
Emacs I think has a similar feature, via plugins/org-mode(?) to the Obsidian setup.
And of course your typical PDF reader probably has support for highlighting PDFs too, but I find them clunky and they save by exporting a PDF, which can be a bit heavy-handed IMO compared to just saving the annotations/highlights as a separate file as Xournalpp does.

Combined metric for finding and decoding (digitally) handwritten text on a page?
Currently, I am trying to build a small open source NLP project for which I first find text on a page and then translate it; see the current project state here: https://github.com/PellelNitram/xournalpp_htr. The purpose of this project is to make handwritten text in Xournal++ searchable for all users.
- Xournal++ – Take handwritten notes with ease
- Pdftool.org: modify pdfs offline in the browser
-
Xournal++ is now fully supported with ChromeOS 115!
[Xournal++](https://xournalpp.github.io/) is in my option the best handwritten note-taking software out there, because it has all the coolest features (like LaTeX snippets and shapes) and it's open source too, so make sure to check it out!
