Hyperbole, but it is a pretty great editor.

the act of letting go of ideas (putting them into notes) lets them become effective to us

keeping notes simple, rather than getting caught up finding (or making..) a perfect and complicated and powerful notetaking system

this is cool - saves local markdown files!
can maybe sync local files between devices?

Article is crazy. 96 books! Text file is still working ok for me

Writing to allow yourself to forget shit. Much of what is on this page.

Not letting tools get in the way. And splitting up writing and editing.

1. Capture the idea.
2. Skeleton.
3. Draft.
4. Revise and ship.
5. Plus: avoiding a false sense of productivity.

Stick to simple processes and tools, don't waste time overthinking.

More notetaking tools. This time with drawings!

why am I reading about notetaking tools again

I love that top comment - similar system to my own, though I do most recent at the top.

Splitting by year is mostly a side effect of getting burned by Vim once when computer lost power. The panic of seeing hundreds of LINES MISSING in my document is not something I want to experience again.

Inspiring example of someone apparently just building all their own tools. The notes on browser as the place thinking happens is good - I mostly keep text notes on things and lists of links. Might look into those tools a bit, or try Memex again.

All gold
