    This writer loves to take notes. Handwritten notes. Digital notes. Mental notes. You get it. Not exactly a shocking revelation for a writer to admit. It's the where, how and why we take our notes that has the maker community most interested.

    In our complicated world of endless items to remember, to-do lists to check-off, lessons to learn, and feelings to work through, note-taking isn't just about scrawling in old jotters. There are tons of note-taking products ranging from simple, laser focussed apps to full-on brain replacements.

    We took a look at 10 community favorites launched in the last 12 months:

    ๐Ÿง  Roam Research: A popular note-taking tool for networked thought
    โ™ฆ Obsidian: A knowledge base that works on local Markdown files
    ๐Ÿ™ Supernotes: A collaborative note-taking app
    ๐Ÿ“” Focus Task: Open-source mac menubar app for deep work
    โ–ถ๏ธ Tubenote: Take notes watching YouTube tutorials
    ๐Ÿ“ƒ Paperd: Collect inspiration, take notes and share check-lists
    ๐Ÿ“ Collected Notes: A simple note-taking and blogging platform
    ๐Ÿ‘› NoteBag: Note-taking app you can use entirely from your keyboard
    ๐Ÿˆ Tiddlywink: The open source non-linear notebook
    ๐Ÿ—‚ Remnote: Non-linear note taking and flash cards by and for students

    There are many more note-taking tools out there. Baris recently asked the community; "What note-taking app do you use?" While a few oldies-but-goodies stand out in the answers, some of the newer additions are breaking through.

    Add your favorite, there can never be too many to test out. ๐Ÿ“
