The dichotomy between tasks and notes doesn't make any sense to me either. The distinction between short and long term things makes more sense, mentally and also technically - apps that have complex features to organize notes always load so slow that they're useless for quickly jotting down thoughts. But still I hate having my thoughts siloed into different apps. I hate having to decide what app to use to write down a specific thought, I hate having to decide which app to search. I made my own app[1], which is currently only useful for short term notes and tasks. I hope with Svelte I can add some features to make it possible to relate notes, to make it more useful for long term projects, while still keeping the app fast enough to be useful for quickly jotting down thoughts.

- bbbobbb 6y agoI love this. Very creative way of handling the search and persistence with the fulltext search to have it easily work as a todo (or any other "tag") app. I wouldn't use it in a browser with local storage only but it actually makes me want to copy these ergonomics for my personal use with some sort of syncing..
- amadeuspagel 6y agoThanks, working on sync.
- althaffe 6y agoCtrl+Space to toggle search results is not suitable for a lot of people. That's the default keybinding for spotlight/launcher style apps. I personally use Synapse, so unable to toggle search.
- amadeuspagel 6y agoThanks. Unfortunately, it's hard to find keybindings that work everywhere. Maybe I'll add Esc as an alternative to toggle search results.
