Hypernotes vs Nebo

It’s this interconnectedness that’s really the whole point of Hypernotes, and the app will even suggest links where none have been made. To this end, while you can created separate notebooks each filled with their own family trees of ideas, the developer encourages you to stick to a single notebook as far as possible. It’s all about linking up ostensibly disparate concepts, dates, and people, so it doesn’t work as intended if you spread your ideas too thinly.

Zenkit has also added new drawing functions to Hypernotes. Drawings can help illustrate a point, serve as a basic diagram of something you’re planning to work on, and much more. With the launch of the Drawing function, you can now add a drawing anywhere in Zenkit that you would usually upload a file or image: In Hypernotes, use the quick command “/draw”. It also works in Zenchat as well. Simply click or tap the + button and choose “Drawing”.

This notetaking / knowledge graph system is a joy to use. It's actually fun to watch your knowledge graph grow as you add more connections between notes and entirely new sections of knowledge to the graph. One feature I would like to see implemented is a filter/view to see the number of characters/words per topic rather than just the number of separate notes linked to a given note. Some of my single notes are deep and detailed while most are relatively small notes. Being able to see which notes are the biggest ones (by character count or storage size) would be helpful to hone in on the "super" notes.

What frustrates me the most about Nebo is that it could be fixed completely with a couple of toggle switches to disable the smart features if the user isn’t fussed about them. Just give me a blank page which does nothing more than display exactly what I’ve chosen to write or draw on it. That would, in my mind, make it the best note-taking app out there. “Just use a more basic note-taking app,” you may scream. I shouldn’t have to, I’m afraid. I’m willing to put money into the pockets of developers who recognise the simple features that matter, and as noted earlier, Nebo has, ironically, nailed a few of those. The fact it has such incredible smart features should be the icing on the cake – not a hindrance. You are so close with this, Nebo. But, sometimes, you can be too clever.

MyScript Nebo does some unique tricks, such as reflowing handwriting, mixed text/handwriting operation and equation recognition. And when it's good, it's very, very good.

I’ve been looking for a replacement for apple’s notes app and google docs that wasn’t word, and luckily, I came upon this beautiful, easy to use app. This is, hands down, the best app to use if you want to convert your handwriting into typed format. It works very well with my handwriting and is easy to edit and learn different shortcuts for your writing. I’m also glad it has an option to create a free form note, where I use it to brainstorm ideas, writing floating where ever I want it to be. You can organize your notes in collections and notebooks, which is very handy and a feature I needed. Even though this will become my main writing app, there’s only one small thing that would make it even better... a night/dark theme. Maybe I just haven’t found it yet, or it’s not there, but I would love to write in whatever color I like on whatever colored paper I like. So far it has the option to change writing color, just not paper. If you had the option to change the color of paper, there wouldn’t even be a need to have color themes- the writer could just change their paper and pen to whatever color they needed and voilà! Thanks :)
