I knew what I wanted in a digital notebook, so I spent an afternoon writing one. This:
* no explicit saving or loading, everything automatically persisted as plain text
* infinite persistent undo / replay of text entry, for retracing steps; can double as work logging; this uses a log file alongside the plain text; this also lets text be deleted without being lost, which helps with clutter
* "most recently edited first" page order, so you can forget about those old pages
* minimal ceremony to create a new page; use the first line as the title
* quick searching and navigation in time and space, using keyboard

- irl_zebra 9y agoNice! This is basically Notes on MacOS, which seems to basically do this (minus infinite undo/redo). I use Notes extensively and it works really well.
- mark_l_watson 9y agoExcept Apple does not provide a clean way to export notes for archival. I literally stopped using Apple Notes because of the no-export ‘feature.’
