I empathize with the "didn't make me a repeat user" part of the post (at least for typed notes). And being a repeat user is very important to taking notes and making them useful!

The inbox is a place you naturally visit often, and we think that makes it a great place for your simple typed notes. We made Twobird to put notes in your inbox! It leverages the same tools you use for email to help manage and remind you of stuff for your notes. I find it very useful to keep lists and basic typed notes alongside the inbox I'm already working in every day. I know I used to email myself notes -- no longer.
