No, ConnectedText works perfectly for me, nothing wrong with it at all.

The only limitation is that it is a Windows app, and my Windows laptop is big and heavy and noisy, and I prefer to use my Chromebooks for reading and research, especially when I’m mobile.

It’s just frustrating when I’d want to look up a note on CT but my Windows laptop is not with me. And I don’t really want to buy another Windows machine (or a Mac).

I’ve tried remoting into my Windows laptop, but not all networks allow it, and it’s not smooth. I’ve also looked into installing CT on some kind of virtual online Windows machine, but there were either some practical or cost limitations.

Basically I’m transitioning to the cloud, as most of my favourite apps now are online, and I like the Chromebook concept.

Obviously the ideal solution would be to have an online version of CT, but since that doesn’t exist, Dokuwiki sounds like the closest thing to it (hosted on a server).
