| This idea carries some decent vibes. Pretty cool, seriously. But I think I can't use this service: (1) It requires "editing" for web publication, and I know I'm too lazy to keep up with that. (2) I find myself mostly scribble with pencil and paper, and write on computer. This is partially because my handwriting is in another dimension in terms of recognizability. (3) I sweat a lot, and that ruins paper notebooks pretty quickly, normally within 2~3 months of daily use. (So I use legal pads.) So, personally, I've always thought about the reverse: write pages with computer, and make a book out of it for archival, like, yearly. Still, I'm yet to carry out this idea, because: (1) I'm unsatisfied with currently available text-based document formats - either too limited (markdown), too biased (ReST), or too verbose(HTML/XML). I'm hoping to build something like Notion(block-driven) out of plain-text document format. (2) I fiercely hate proprietary note-taking services and apps. I've already had enough headaches: pages lost, broken import/export features, backup restoration failures, etc. Never gonna spend a single penny on them. |
