Gonna be honest, my productivity app once upon a time was unsaved sublime text documents
- winrid 11mo agoScratch files in jetbrains ides also!
- tobinfekkes 11mo agoMine is the same, but unsaved files in Notepad++
- nottorp 11mo agoTextMate here. Unsaved ofc.
- 65 11mo agoMy productivity app is a sketchbook and a pencil, if anyone knows what those are.
- neutronicus 11mo agoFor me it was a ream of printer paper and a mug full of random writing implements. IMO the platform is unmatched at rapid on-demand WYSIWYG visualization. Not so great for a productivity app, though. Too easy to lose important information when it's on the same sheet of paper as a drawing of a graph algorithm that turned out to be wrong, and trying to remember whether x cross y positive implies x right or left of y.
- wyre 11mo agoI bet you could rig up a webcam, hook it up to a multimodal LLM, that can then instantly scan, sort, and archive all of the separate ideas on each sheet. That would make it easier to not lose information, but I don't think it makes it any easier of a productivity app.
- lycos 11mo agoFor me it often still is.. at least when I'm working alone on something / no collaboration needed. Every time I try something else I revert back to this, although sometimes I do save the files, eventually.
- jorl17 11mo agoYou mean it hasn’t been that way for the last 14 years and it hasn’t survived 5 different computer changes and a dozen or so OS migrations and you don’t still have a tiny document with “fun business ideas” to start that company with your fresh out of college gang right next to that “how to organize a great 10 year reunion” sheet from 3 years ago? Must be a me thing, then.

- alexchantavy 11mo agoThis is still my way of doing things!! What have you moved on to?
- chanux 11mo agoMy productivity app at work was Notepad++ I have seen colleagues using an almost append only txt file with notepad.exe. It worked for them I guess, but there were some features I could not live without on Notepad++
