Digital labbooks (or electronic Labbooks as some like to call them) are not a novelty. They have been around in one form or another for a while. We have played with many options over the past years but none were really fully satisfactory. Word/Pages/LibreOffice For instance, take Word/Pages/LibreOffice documents. We know that doing a few pages is fine. But when books get big (over 10 pg) and with many figures, the files tend to get corrupted, are difficult to share (mostly due to version tracking), and none of these applications really handle well images: they get often misplaced and corrupted when you change application, format or operating system. Also, formats tend to be proprietary... But worst of all: collaboration is really tough. You surely had, at some point or another, to copy corrections made by 3 collaborators onto your offline labbook. It is no fun. So these are none starters. Wiki Our first attempt at an electronic labbook was actually a self hosted w...
