As a programmer, I concur. I sit on my arse all day pushing keys , anybody can do that.

Hundun@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•OCR Tools for Uni and Research Notekeeping6·1 year agoHandwriting has been proven to enhance learning in humans, so you are doing great by keeping the habit!
I don’t have much to recommend, but so far this little tool was very useful for me and my math studies: https://github.com/lukas-blecher/LaTeX-OCR
I am not a student, but I learn like a student all the time. I also enjoy handwriting (got an e-ink tablet for that) and knowledge management. I am often dreaming of a “perfect setup” where all I write gets pushed automatically through OCR into my knowledge vault (Obsidian, Logseq or whatever I/my peers happen to use). Even came up with a plan. I hope this new year will leave me enough energy to execute something useful.
Would you like to collaborate on that perhaps?
Hundun@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•Evernote alternatives?English1·2 years agoI’ve been toying with the same idea. Having Logseq running in server mode + creating an LSP adapter should be doable.

I have a pretty mature KB, and this process takes no more than a few seconds, so it’s fine.
Honestly, I love everything about it, except for the app itself. It ties me to the default editor, which is an Electron-based sluggish resource hog. I’d rather have some software scaffolding to work in an editor of my preference, but that is just me. I suspect most people in most use cases won’t find it as problematic.

Despite whatever your lead/manager says, there is always an option to nuke it from low orbit and start over.
