![]() ![]() There are standards for UI functionality that MarginNote is yet to figure out.įirst of all, don’t be fooled by the free app-to actually use it, you have to purchase it for $13. I migrated to LiquidText which is much more intuitive and has persistent development effort. MarginNote3 has not changed much and there are sync issues with the osx counterpart. So you must copy these files manually from the MarginNote directory on iCloud to the new MarginNote 3 directory that you will find created there. It will delete anything already there and import the notebooks including tags, but the attached files will be missing. Then go to finder and open the file in MarginNote version 3. You need to backup version 2 notebooks (see under settings) and save the backup file on iCloud. I wanted to give a few pointers for migrating data from version 2, as the software provides no details. The desktop version is not released yet so it remains to be seen if the sync issues are fixed with the new release. This is an evolved version of the software with nicer GUI, better user experience, and new organization and editing tools. The company seems responsive on their forums and almost every feature request is listened to even if we have to wait for it. These are minor issues and I use MarginNote3 obsessively as it is. It’d be nice to be able to color them and make them thicker.įinally I’d like a way to link my own notes to a document location rather than having to make an excerpt to do that. The links are hard to see and to keep track of. Bonus if it could export the citation in any of the usual formats. Even if I had to fill out that source info manually for each document I’d be happy. MarginNote keeps things organized very well.Ī couple of things that I would like that MarginNote is a bit weak with are: better referencing to the source document on export of notes. I miss the free form of traditional mind mapping but I realize that with large texts a free form mind map gets crowded very quickly. With the latest update it has pen support and with the new child mind maps the scale of research possibilities is nearly endless. It isn’t really a mind map that it creates but a hierarchical and visual organization and this suits research well. It has an efficiency in its mind mapping that isn’t present in other tools. The thing that I prefer with MarginNote are it’s ability to handle absolutely huge volumes of notes and documents. I’ve tried most annotation research software. Hope that gets fixed someday.Īnd as far as the price comes, I think it's much cheaper than LiquidText which is awesome. It is just the worst part of any app I've seen. The UI seems horrible and has so many problems. And also in the LiquidText you cannot have book-free studies to just have bookmarks.īut the research tool is horribly made. It just makes me more and more relaxed to be in MarginNote3 vs LiquidText. It organizes the look and keeps it which is just so amazing. In MarginNote however, you have an app that organizes the mindmap into a chart with direct branches that you do not decide how to be put. Also it's a web of what you put where ever you wish to. In LiquidText almost any accidental touch on the mindmap ruins it. What I like about MarginNote in contrast with LiquidText is just how much more organized it is. They have just a really poor mind map experience. While their UI is much prettier and cleaner. ![]() There is only one competitor app to be MarginNote's alternative and that's the Liquid Text.
