> Aristotle had suggested his students keep scrolls of notes from their studies, organized by subject, so that they could return at will to any topic’s “place.” Renaissance-era teachers resurfaced this idea, and by the 17th century, students at Oxford were required to keep “commonplace books,” organized notebooks stuffed with useful texts from elsewhere. I do organize by topic/title with Bear App, previously I was using simplenote, both use plain text, but Bear has markdown and it is beautifully implemented. Just to give an example, I have a "page" with a "Postgres" title filled code snippets, URLS, articles, hyperlinks to other "pages" and my own notes. From time to time I came back to these notes, to add or read content.
