a unique snowflake
Not at all. I refrain from these apps (and most note-taking apps) for the same reason. I dump everything from passwords to CC-numbers into my notes and todos. If I had to start thinking about what to put there and what not it would kill half the utility.
It's beyond me why the vendors don't add this comparably trivial, yet critical feature (client-side encryption).
It's a matter of time until Evernote and friends get hacked, if they haven't been already. That day you will see many sad faces, when people begin to realize that over time they've probably put more than "get milk"-notes and the latest cat pictures in there.
- k-mcgrady 14y agoSerious question: Why would you store passwords and cc-numbers in a todo app? Why not store your passwords in a purpose built app like 1password and use the todo software for todo's (get milk, finish project etc.)?
- Someone 14y agoHe was talking about 'in my notes and todos'. I guess his passwords end up in his notes, not in his todos. Then, I think it all boils down to personal preference. In the limit, you have diehard emacs users, who store everything (notes, todos, spreadsheets, word processing aka TeX documents, playlists (http://www.gnu.org/software/emms/ http://www.gnu.org/software/emms/), encryption utilities, etc) in 'emacs files' :-)
