Hey as a follow up from the Twitter space discussion.
Would you say programmable notes are apps that allow for personal addons/plugins to adjust the tool's affordances?
Then digital notes are apps that allow for digital storage?

If so then are programmable notes a type of digital note?
I am struggling to find a difference apart from the complexity of feature sets.

Yes, programming notes certainly a subset of "digital notes", if we're taking that to mean any notes stored in a digital format.
Not sure if you've had a chance to look at the note I wrote about programmatic notes, but might help clarify: maggieappleton.com/programmatic-n

Apps that allow plugins to adjust the interface & affordances do help enable programmatic notes.
But even better would be apps that allow users to programme parts of the system as a fundamental part of the design.
Might be helpful to read the EUD wiki:

I think the discussion is around the tools used to augment or extend cognition, rather than the 'note' itself.
If I understand you correctly, using templates is a form of programmatic notes, but they can be done through a text-expander combined with a word processor.
