ClipIt is good, but I couldn't customise it to an extent where it would match my hierarchical data persistence need. </p> <p>So as a fresh engineer, ignoring the "Don't reinvent the wheel" ideology, I went ahead and made myself (and everyone else, if they please) a note-taking application that hierarchically saves data (tables -&gt; entries) and fetches all of those super-quickly while you're typing (thanks to MongoDB Atlas). Also, all actions have keyboard shortcuts mapped to them.</p> <h4> Technology Stack </h4> <ul> <li>JavaFX</li> <li>MongoDB Atlas</li> </ul> <p>The current release has a .deb and .jar available to download. Compatible releases for other OS are definitely in-progress.</p> <h3> Submission Category: </h3> <p>Choose Your Own Adventure</p> <h3> Link to Code </h3> <div class="ltag-github-readme-tag"> <div class="readme-overview"> <h2> <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--566lAguM--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev.to/assets/github-logo-5a155e1f9a670af7944dd5e12375bc76ed542ea80224905ecaf878b9157cdefc.svg" alt="GitHub logo"> <a href="https://github.com/shayannasir"> shayannasir </a> / <a href="https://github.com/shayannasir/search-note"> search-note </a> </h2> <h3> </h3> </div> <div class="ltag-github-body"> <div id="readme" class="md"> <h1> Search Note</h1> <p><strong>Search Note</strong> is a light-weight, super-fast, keyboard-shortcuts-centric, search-oriented note-taking/fetching desktop application.</p> <p>All the actions in <em>search-note</em> are performed via keyboard shortcuts.</p> <h2> Structure</h2> <p>Search Note has 2 stages/layouts, specifically:-</p> <ol> <li> <strong>Table:</strong>: Tables are the main entry points to a document.
