On: I still use plain text for everything. (2016)

[hota_mazi]

This approach breaks down pretty quickly when you want to edit your notes on two computers and a phone.

Or when you want to share them and edit them collaboratively with someone else.

Gmail drafts are my #1 note taking app. Plain text, no formatting required but it's there if you want. Just hit Send to share a note. Not collaborative editing, but does solve all of the sync issues.

>multiple computers

SyncThing is one of the most underrated programs out there.

>Sharing

There's a billion ways to share a text file with someone

>Collaborative editing

That's a fair point. Although, I've never had the need to collaboratively edit a text file. But it does look like there's stuff out there e.g. EtherPad, Gobby, HackMD.
