TL DR I will continue to use KNT-NF as I like to write stories and journal AIO in my note taking however I saw this issue as I have been thinking about switching for a few months now but still am not convinced to switch yet I have been using it for a few days, unless I edit this comment again I'll probably continue to use it. I personally like being able to use RTF like controls, but I could grow to accept this as when I need to use colors I can just type in the html code like Red text. It's MarkDown (With html in the preview enabled). I have tried QOwnNotes and it's a good new alternative, but it took me a few hours to get everything like how I like it. At the end of the day I simply wanted an AIO tool that was small and easy to use, but I was chasing a purple dragon that didn't exist. I do not need images for note taking, only because I want to make links for non-note-taking. I do not need spell check for note-taking, only story writing. I wanted to switch away from KeyNote but simply still use it for note taking and anything else get's it's own program. I still use KeyNoteNF for notes - Gripe1: spell check, Gripe2: images.įor non-note-taking I use QOwnNotes for story writing and use pandoc for export. Should KeyNote become unusable one day, it's good to know that I could at least import my files to RightNote, but for now I haven't found the experience with RN to be satisfactory enough to justify the switch. Most of my gripes are about the interface and user experience, but those are important aspects too and I wasn't able to overlook them. I have never had this kind of problem with KeyNote.įunctionality-wise, RN has everything KN has (as far as I can tell) and more. I use keyboard shortcuts to navigate between nodes (alt + up/down arrow), and it was really obvious if I tried to run through a lot of nodes in order to reach the one I wanted: on several occasions, RightNote actually freezed and I had to kill and restart it. Even switching between nodes in a tree felt a bit sluggish compared to KN. Switching between tabs in the same file took noticeably longer than in KeyNote and I could see the whole interface being redrawn. I'm guessing it's because it uses some kind of skin engine for its whole interface (you can change the look of the interface), a feature that I'm really not a fan of (I much prefer when such a program integrates as seamlessly as possible with the OS). My experience with RightNote is that it felt less snappy and responsive than KeyNote NF. I was really hoping that I could make the switch, but in the end I went back to KeyNote. I imported all my KN files and completely stopped using KN during that time.
I've used RightNote for three weeks about a year ago.
