Hey , I stumbled upon your notes. I really think you're onto something. π
I'm sure you've heard of - do you think Roam could be well suited for your system? If so, do you know of an "Andy's system on Roam" guide?
If not, I want to write it.

The non-spaced-repetition parts of my approach to notes isn't tool-specific. It seems that Roam does comport with its approach more naturally than many other tools, but YMMV. I like to quickly open and manipulate notes in many windows, which webapps almost never support well.

How many is many for you? Using the extra pop out on roam I find myself messing with 3-4 notes at a time.

Often six on-screen simultaneously, with at least one window displaying a list of notes Iβm jumping around.

We'll have this when we ship desktop, for people watching who aren't andy

I'm curious: is there some way to make Electron share a VM across those different windows? Or does each have to parse and evaluate the application JS when opening?

Havent dug into this deep yet, but heres sort of stuff ive glanced at for assesing what's in scope

Ah, unfortunate. With that approach, each window has its own copy of the entire app running. I haven't seen any Electron apps avoid multi-second window open timesβnot sure it's possible without deep hacks to WebKit (e.g. each window surface as region in hidden central document)

FWIW I've been using react-native-web to build the UI for my current project, and it's pretty magic to deploy the same codebase to web and also native mobile and desktop apps.
No good abstraction over contenteditable there unfortunately, though, which I imagine you'd need.

We don't use contenteditable much at all, and where we do just for aesthetics, can work around
