It amazes me that every few weeks a new note taking app is featured on HN.
What am I missing? For years I’ve taken notes in the Apple Notes.app on my tablet and phone and laptop and it just works.
Why would I want to switch to a paid app? Or why would I want to run a bash script that puts stuff on GitHub?
- vouaobrasil 3y agoI think that the reason is more psychological than anything. People who deal with information become unsettled psychologically because they are doing something that is very unnatural, and so new note taking apps is a meaningless gesture that makes them feel that they are under control. Of course, that's not the entire explanation but it does explain partially the proliferation of note-taking apps beyond the basic ones.
