oxipng VS notable

I have had good experiences with https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng . Although, I suspect this wouldn't give you nearly enough space savings as jpg.

If you do want the file as a PNG (for transparency and a common format that's well supported), but don't want it so huge, consider something like oxipng. https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng

oxipng, pngquant and svgcleaner — optimizing images

I wonder how `pngcrush` compares to `oxipng` (https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng).

Personally, I use `oxipng` if I want lossless compression. However, most of the time, I use `pngquant` instead, since it gives significant size reduction even at `99%` (I can't even distinguish between the original and reduced image).

    pngquant --quality=99 --ext=.png --force file.png

Depending on your workflow it might make sense to export PNGs directly from Affinity and then reduce their size with a utility like Oxipng, which uses all your cores to find the best algorithm for each particular image.

Assuming your frames are PNG files, you could use a lossless optimizer like optipng to try if their size can be reduced. I prefer oxipng, which is faster and multithreaded, and seems to have more active development.

Not sure what extensions of images you use, but if they’re PNG you could use oxipng: https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng

And I was confusing it with https://notable.app/

I tried many note-taking apps and finally settled on Notable[0]. It's simple and you can point it to a folder with markdown files and attachments. Plus, you can just sync the folder using any syncing service, and use Noteless[1] on Android. And the tagging support is superb.

Because of the simple folder structure, you can also use vim+fzf to search/navigate your notes. The notational-fzf-vim plugin[2] is superb for that.

For web-clipping, I just use the markdownload[3] extension in firefox and save the markdown file in the notes folder.

Why not joplin? Mostly because joplin stores notes in an sqlite database instead of a simple folder structure making it not easily accessible by normal unix tools and editors.

Why not obsidian? Was never able to grok obsidian. In notable, I can tag a note as Books/CS, and CS/Books, and it'll show up in corresponding folder-like structures in the left panel.

0. https://notable.app/

Oh and the dev also did his own comparison table - you might like to compare it to yours!

I use https://notable.app/ for my notes, backup the notes / setup on a private github repo which I share with the Mac / Linux versions I use. Been working really well.
