2020

  • 2020-02-28 · My Favourite Note-Taking App for Students - Notion — Ali: If one thing makes Notion fantastic for students, Ali says, it is its toggle feature, which hides details and which no other note-taking app has: not OneNote, Evernote, Notability or GoodNotes. — 00:03:11
    • In Notion, Ali says, extra information is easy to add without losing the big picture, while in OneNote and Evernote diving deeper into a topic he did not understand clogged up his notes. — 00:03:59
  • 2020-05-15 · Apple Fanboy Reacts to Microsoft Surface Go 2 — Ali: Writing with the Surface Pen in OneNote is not as nice for Ali as the iPad with the Apple Pencil: the stylus is treated like a cursor. — 00:08:46
    • Ali dislikes OneNote and GoodNotes for handwriting because they slightly adjust strokes to look smoother, and loves Notability on the iPad because it does not change what he writes. — 00:09:10
  • 2020-08-23 · The Perfect Note-Taking App — recommendation: Ali: For librarian personalities, Ali says, Evernote or OneNote suit best: everything has its distinct place, every note sits in a notebook and notebooks sit in stacks. — 00:01:59
    • Ali is not much of a librarian type himself, so he does not use Evernote or OneNote as his main note-taking apps, though many people he knows do. — 00:02:29
    • Architect personalities, who want to build their own structured system without a rigid hierarchy or pure freedom, suit Notion, Ali says; he fits this type most. — 00:03:56

2019

  • 2019-02-14 · Valentine’s Day Live Stream — recommendation: Ali: Asked for a free alternative to Notability, Ali is unsure and suggests OneNote. (unsure) — 00:27:53
  • 2019-05-18 · The Best Productivity Apps for Students — Ali: At university Ali used Microsoft OneNote most, mainly to scan in all his handwritten notes. — 00:02:36
    • Ali no longer really uses Microsoft OneNote because he recently discovered Notion. — 00:03:34
  • 2019-07-23 · The World's Smartest Notebook - Rocketbook Everlast Review — Ali: The Rocketbook Everlast syncs pages easily to Evernote, OneDrive, Google Drive, OneNote or another service of your choice. — 00:01:27
  • 2019-09-17 · My Favourite Productivity App for Students - Notion — Ali: Note-taking apps such as Evernote, OneNote and Notability impose a rigid structure, Ali says, like buying or renting a ready-built house, while Notion has no set hierarchy and is like building your own house. — 00:01:07
  • 2019-11-20 · Study with Me + How I Learn New Content — Ali: Though a sucker for productivity apps, Ali thinks the specific app rarely makes much difference: GoodNotes or Notability, OneNote or Evernote, Todoist or Things are basically the same; what matters is applying the general principles of productivity and effective studying. — 00:00:58
    • Even when not preparing teaching, Ali would still write down active recall questions, in OneNote, Notion, Evernote or whatever note-taking app he was using that month, because he calls it the single most effective study technique ever. — 00:04:41

2018

  • 2018-01-13 · My University Desk Setup - Cambridge Medical Student — Ali: When making notes from a website for medical-school work, Ali keeps a Wikipedia article on one half of his ultrawide screen and Microsoft OneNote on the other. — 00:01:07
  • 2018-05-29 · Live Stream - Hangout — recommendation: Ali scans lecture handouts into OneNote when he is typing, or into Notability when he is handwriting on the iPad. — 00:03:18
  • 2018-06-02 · How I take notes on my iPad Pro in medical school - Cambridge University medical student — recommendation: Ali calls Notability the best note-taking app for the iPad if your laptop or desktop is a Mac; it is not available on Windows, so Windows users should use something like OneNote. — 00:04:19
    • Ali prefers Notability to OneNote because it limits you to pages, which suits people used to paper, while OneNote's infinite canvas lets notes sprawl. — 00:05:47
    • To share notes from Notability Ali exports a PDF and sends it; sharing OneNote drives never worked for him, and OneNote exported oddly shaped, unreadable PDFs. — 00:06:16
