The headline doesn’t really reflect the post body. The author is advocating for writing your own software tools for your own personal note taking and organizational use. First off, their tools are very beautiful from the screenshots, and if they work for them great! However I can only think of the time liability they are (they even wrote the language they are written in). I can only imagine how much time this person sinks into making them. If that’s what you love doing great! But for the vast majority of people that’s not reasonable. They are pretending that it’s a high productivity approach. It’s not. Productivity = results / time Spending a few dollars (equivalent to working for an hour lets say) and getting a high quality tool that would take you months to build yourself, is the high productivity solution. Many tools allow a high degree of customization and plugins, which allows people to really make it their own as well.
