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

For what it's worth, I didn't actually start using notion until I tested its export feature, because I have no faith in anything anymore. It turns out to be a zip file full of markdown files and uploaded attachments, so basically I can switch back to text files whenever. Nice.

This is all so true. The worst part is that this thread will now get a trillion reply guys with overcomplicated solutions (boring to even read).
