There's beauty and power in simplicity. Thanks for sharing! Also, take a look at Roam (https://roamresearch.com https://roamresearch.com) which almost comes full-circle to a place of simplicity (just write instead of worrying about where to put things or how to organize them) while providing all kinds of benefits. There are many tradeoffs and valid reasons to prefer your .txt (or my .md) file(s), but I highly recommend playing w Roam to see what's possible.
- runxel 7y agoRoam is totally cool, but at the moment not very polished. Even worse they're loosing a lot of data, which stopped me from using it – sadly. I still think it's superior to anything else, but loosing data is a show stopper.
- chrisweekly 7y agoHuh. I have a list of things I feel it needs before it's really ready for broad adoption, but data loss? I haven't experienced any, and yours is the first mention I've come across. That said, it's still beta quality and they're moving really fast; since it's still free I'm reserving judgment on the reliability front. It's so good, w so much potential; rooting hard for them to get it right.
- dangirsh 7y agoThe data loss was attributed to scaling problems. They've recently seen a large spike in usage, presumably in part from attention on HN.
