If a person forgets an idea that they love, it’s a horror…

my notes are

• chaotic: one big .txt .md file
• ephemeral: like temp storage things written down are unfinished
• boring: no backticks, colours, tags, views, formulas, comments, ai, etc.

what I use

• .md:
  • because I can take it anywhere
  • because I want to render code blocks and images
• sheets.google.com:
  • because 100 columns on markdown is jank as
  • because tables are easy to reason about
  • because I need to share it with someone else

what I want with a note taking tool

• minimal: the ideal state is zero decisions
• responsive: must not be fiddly, jank, or clunky
• malleable: like handing someone else a piece of paper or an orange
• centralised: why two tool when one tool do trick
• accessible: to view it on the go
• portable: so that I have an escape plan
• resourceful: if it costs nothing to run then I never need to close it
