I'm still looking for a good note taking solution for work.

I prefer something with a degree of spatial orientation, i.e persistent physical location/hierarchy. With the right organization it seems like tiddlywiki can do that.

I don't know what you do for work, but I am working on a note-taking solution[1] that is built around a note-card format and a (somewhat unique) multi-parent hierarchy system, while also allowing bi-directional links as in Tiddly or Roam, which can provide for a lot of flexibility.

Full disclosure though: the way collaboration works is optimized to allow for very granular sharing of cards, which is great when you want to share here and there with a wide variety of people (some cards you want to share with friends, some with family, some with your co-workers, some with your clients, etc). But if your goal is to collaborate with co-workers on a shared knowledge base, there are other tools that are probably better suited which we point people towards if that is their use case, like Notion/Craft/etc. Our focus is individual use first and then trying to seamlessly blend collab into that experience.

With that said, we do have a few teams using the platform so YMMV.

Shared note taking tools absolutely need hierarchy. You can't expect your colleagues to know the way your brain sort things. In my opinion tools like roam research will never work for organizations. Especially for that reason.

I think it's mostly that my head needs hierarchy. I need help, to keep the order :)

I’m using Agenda (Mac app) and still learning how to make the best use of it but I really like that it’s built around projects, daily agendas and notes tied to meetings.

The UX is imperfect but the structure is proving useful to me. It’s habit now that if anything needs to be recorded from a meeting, it’s in Agenda, and tied to the meeting, so I lose less context.

A challenge related to remote work, for me, is that if I’m not careful a day’s meetings can blend into each other. I’ve definitely had meetings “escape” me - I was on the call but a week later I can’t recall much and my notes on a paper aren’t as useful as they should be.
