I usually just open a text editor and dump my thoughts into it.

If you can integrate, maybe, a canvas image editor and a text editor then you'd have something at least a bit more useful than Notepad++ for me in that regard. Being able to easily export and import will be nice too.

What I am aiming for is to capture your thoughts very quickly at first. I know you mean to exapand on those thoughts, drawing up a sketch etc but that would be the second or third step after you capture your idea.

The problem I am trying to solve is that it is very easy to lose our ideas in all our notes. Most of the time, our ideas sit somewhere in a folder and we forget about them. By capturing stats about how and when you generate your ideas, I am looking to (hopefully) trigger some motivation and enhance creativity by reproducing the circumstances that generated your previous ideas in the first place. I hope it makes sense...
