Shameless self-promotion: I've built an app - thinktype[1] - that I think fulfills three of these four principles:
> Captured ideas are better than missed ones.
> Ideas that can’t be recalled are worse than useless – effective search and recall form the soul of great notes.
In thinktype, you write and search notes at the same time. You can start both writing and searching (which are the same) right when you open the app.
> Time is essential to how we remember, and should be a first-class concept in a good note-taking system.
In thinktype, you see a relative time for every note ("two weeks").
When you open the app you see all notes sorted by recency. You can also easily sort search results by recency, for example to see how your thinking on a topic developed.

- thesephist 5y agoThe "search and entry are the same" thing reminds me of Notational Velocity / nvALT. I think it makes editing multiple things at the same time difficult, but generally feels really nice.
- amadeuspagel 5y agoThe way to edit multiple notes at the same time is just to have multiple tabs open. Thinktype is optimized for that workflow. It loads fast, it updates the title based on the note you currently edit and when you edit a note which is visible in another tab, thinktype updates the note there too.
