trying out beta versions of 5 different next gen note taking/knowledge organization apps, finding none of them 100% perfect, realizing half of them won't exist in 2 years, and just settling for a bunch of plain .txt files again

.txt files never break on u never overpromise u never disappear on u wake me up when ur app can manage that

the big promise of all the cool new apps is nonlinear organization and that's like, cool but i'm imagining if notion folds and you try to pull 3 years worth of notes out and it's all just like <div><div>shit you<div>cared about <div></div>what</div>

nonlinear organization for user content is never gonna be good until we figure out good underlying data models BUT for read only things like textbooks we should already be on that shit. what i would give for an interactive world history text that linked events across time & space

I just use sublime text on my laptop for all note taking. Fast and efficient. Most of the next gen apps require connectivity to work which is bad design
