org-noter VS notekit

I use org-noter: Emacs document annotator, using Org-mode.

Well, for me personally, I get a lot out of org-noter. I like to write in org-mode but frequently find my editing skills are improved by exporting it to a more "readable" format. I then like to use the specific-note function to click on the exported pdf/whatever to add highly localized notes for myself, which are collected in a bidirectionally-linked org file for later review.

An alternative is to open PDFs, from Zotero or from anywhere else, with Emacs' pdf-tools (https://github.com/vedang/pdf-tools). If you annotate the pdf, those annotations are part of the pdf. And you can also use org-noter (https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter) and org-noter-pdftools (https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools; but see https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools/issues/93#issuecomment-1493314118 if you use the new org-noter from https://github.com/org-noter/org-noter).

I created a new user, did a fresh git clone https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter.gi and used use-package to install nov.el.

See the original repo, which links to a video demonstration.

There are some Emacs org-mode plugins (for example org-noter) that do exactly this. But this is just me pointing this out as something as exists, and not really a recommendation - Emacs is really intense to get into with a Steep learning curve.

Nothing special. Assuming you have org-noter installed, create your org-roam node. Then create a headline. Run M-x org-noter (or whatever shortcut you have bound this to) on the headline. Emacs will prompt you to fill in your /path/to/pdf. It creates a property to save the file and page location.

Moreover, no changes have been made for about 3 years in its github repo..

I use org-noter for emacs to do something similar to what you are wanting. But emacs isn’t for the faint hearted so probably not the best choice.

You can use Notekit

I use NoteKit[0], one of the nicest things about it is that a can paste an image and draw on it, simple yet useful. Does "Notes" offer the same functionality? And what about spell check?

Anyway, great project, I'll give it a try! :)

So, other than moving around your exported SVGs & PDFs, I am not sure; Look at what u/up_o said on this cross-post on r/Ubuntu. He suggested Notekit as a way to annotate with Mardown.

Well, it's not exactly unsustainable - the Github CI continues producing those builds without me having to do anything for it (it in fact didn't break even once in the past year, compared to several breakages on the "backwards-compatible" Ubuntu 18.04 deb which happened whenever Github changed something about the package bundle available to that image). If someone reports a bug on Windows, I will look into it, and/or spend some time walking them through a workaround (since I do in fact have access to Windows setups). As I see it, in the most natural sense of support, I do have support for Windows, even though it is what I guess you would call Tier 2 support.

To nitpick a little, I also didn't say I don't think that those who care about licensing issues would use [the Windows build]; rather, I think that those who don't care about licensing issues and are on Windows would not use it, because there is a Windows-only product that is closed-source which I am unlikely to be able to compete with on that ground.

I'm not really advertising Mac support beyond having some files merged from people who did get it to work (https://github.com/blackhole89/notekit/blob/master/screensho...).

Slightly late response, but I'm working on one, with a particular focus on tablet input: notekit. There isn't quite feature parity with Typora since using native instead of HTML-based rendering makes things like tables hard and many aspects of it are still work in progress in general, but several people (including myself) do already use it on a daily basis.

Notekit resembles OneNote the most imo, but it's still unfinished
