I use emacs to take notes, yes. I haven't seen any other tool that has similar features for that purpose. But more to the point, I don't want to have to justify every tiny aspect of my development environment. Does gitpod provide a way out of that sort of authoritarian system? > For taking notes I use the iPadOS15 notes feature by swiping from the bottom right hand hot corner. Honest question: what does swiping have to do with how to not have all my personal notes in the cloud? Hm, I think perhaps you're saying one can keep notes that are not in the dev environment at all? Of course that's true, but I'm incredibly accustomed to working entirely in a heavily customized emacs, switching between org-mode buffers and code. Sometimes that's via org links to specific tiny fragments of code content (a link to e.g. a filename + the text "def my_function(" will take me right there even if the code changes a bit).
