I have a folder saved in the cloud, which contains all my notes, this folder is also stored locally on my device.

So far the experience has been incredibly smooth. I have now been using Mark Text and Markdown to take notes, for almost 3 months. I changed the default theme, the font size and have it open a specific folder on launch. I only changed a couple of small things before I started using it. Eventually, I decided on using Mark Text, it was almost perfect out the box. I came across some great looking editors, most of which I can't remember now.

When it came to choosing a Markdown editor, I had 2 main requirements: Markdown seemed like it would help solve my "issues" since I could quickly format the notes (Mainly bolding important things), and focus on taking better notes. I had some experience with Markdown from GitHub, so I felt comfortable taking notes with it. When I send the messages on our group chat, I can use a small amount of Markdown.Īfter using OneNote for about a week of taking notes, I decided that I would try using Markdown.

My issue came in the form of me spending too much time worrying about the formatting and then after the meeting, I would need to format the notes again. I could take the notes, and then I could send them as a message later in our group chat. I started using it to take notes in my meetings, and it worked ok. Why wouldn't I, it was cross-platform, it synced my notes across devices, and it was familiar. This is my first article, so please go gentle on me 😁 but I wanted to talk about why I started using Markdown to take notes.īefore I started using Markdown, I used OneNote to take my notes.
