Top 4 C++ Note Projects

Notes

  1. xournalpp

    Xournal++ is a handwriting notetaking software with PDF annotation support. Written in C++ with GTK3, supporting Linux (e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, SUSE), macOS and Windows 10. Supports pen input from devices such as Wacom Tablets.

    I tried a whole bunch of the these apps, and I decided that Xournal++ [1] is better than Rnote for note taking. However, I have used Openboard [2] for teaching online since 2020.

    I agree that Rnote's smoothing is better, but it's tool selection UX is terrible. There are three different bars (top, bottom, and side), and you often need to move your mouse/hand to all of them across the screen in order to select the right tool. In Xournal++ I can put everything on the top bar.

    Xournal++ has it's own problems. Pasting an image always makes it so big, that resizing to the correct size is difficult. It also doesn't have a laser pointer, which is why I can't use it for teaching. Creating a new document with the correct template is also painful.

    Honestly, in another life, I would write a decent note-taking app.

  4. notes

    Fast and beautiful note-taking app written in C++. Write down your thoughts.

    Project mention: App Should Have Been a Website (and Probably Your Game Too) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-12-31

    Hi there! Yes, I will switch to a more distinctive icon in the future once I can afford to hire a new designer.

    Multiplayer was quoting the correct reason. I also exeplained more about the timeline here: https://github.com/nuttyartist/notes/issues/690#issuecomment...

    Tldr: The FOSS version earned a stable revenue through Google Ads placed on the website, since the website ranked high on Google searches. Two years ago, that changed since the website got de-ranked, so I created a different, proprietary version of the app based on the FOSS version but with a totally revamped block editor that I wrote from scratch - that I worked on full-time for a whole 1 year.
