On the specific point of mobile note capture, I believe I have solved this problem in my own text file-based system.
I use dropbox to sync a text file from my phone and a separate file from my tablet. These text files are managed by gthnk (http://gthnk.com http://gthnk.com), which combines all of these files overnight. By the next morning, all of my notes are together no matter where I originally wrote the note.
- prplhaz4 11y agoWith most current note-taking systems, the sync is near-real-time - which, is super handy when moving from the conference room or on-the-go on your phone to your desk/laptop during the day - an overnight sync in that scenario doesn't meet requirements. I'd imagine it wouldn't be too far fetched to utilize a sync service like your current solution for flat files in a more real-time manner...
- idm 11y agoThat's an excellent point about real-time sync. There is a button in gthnk that will grab any notes from mobile devices on-demand. I think this would permit somebody to move from a conference to their desk. However, I can also see how/why that might be tiresome for somebody who frequently transitions devices multiple times per day. Also, you're right; there's no deep architectural reason why you couldn't sync more frequently than once per day.
