Calling all electronic note takers. Is there an app (on Windows preferably) that
- Has the functions of OneNote
- Allows pen colors to be changed arbitrarily (not just a list of preset colors like in OneNote)
- Does not require a subscription
Thanks in advance

Does anyone have good resources for learning about quantum mechanics? I want to learn the physics but am a mathematics graduate student?
Right now I am reading Quantum Computation and Quantum Information. Which has been great but I don’t see the physical realization of the ideas.

Looking to start a blog where I attempt to learn Cubical Type Theory from scratch. Any name ideas?
The overall theme will me be saying “huh” until I arrive at correct (I didn’t say good mind you) Arend code.
