There are two important aspects here: getting ideas recorded, and organising them.
Note pads and text files are great for getting ideas down, but bad for organising them
If you can’t organise the ideas later, the whole system breaks down and you stop using it
I looked into different SaaS apps etc but they all had some features I didn’t like or were extraneous for me.
I realized the only way to do this was to create my own note taking app with a UI that was optimised for my way of doing things and would contain as few bottlenecks as possible for recording and organising
The result is an app where I can type something out in markdown format, apply tags, and then filter all my notes by tags
I uses local storage because I hate the idea of a login getting in the way of recording the idea
