For me, it's my text file junk drawer. And I mean that in a good way. Often I need a file to reformat some text or a file to temporarily hold a snippet of text. All this goes into NV. It's _frictionless_ so, for these files, I don't have to think what to name them or where to save them. Just open the app and start typing or paste. The text is there and it is automatically saved. Instead of composing longish text in the browser (textarea), I now use NV and don't worry about losing stuff due to browser crashes, etc. Pre-NV, these text files were throwaways. They'd typically be saved on my desktop for a few days or not saved at all in the case of a quick dump. Now they are saved (without me thinking about it) and on a number of occasions it has been helpful to have the archive. Lately I've been trying to add a little organization to some notes with inspiration from this idea of Semantic Notes [1]. BTW, I use NValt as many others have suggested.
