Wow. What I haven't tried before... One html file wiki (tiddlywiki i think). Something like 3 self written web task editors before DropBox happened. Mori (kind of evernote from the past), Google Wave (still missing it), made couple of money tracking apps with couchdb, remotestorage and other offline capable but syncing apps for personal use on mobile.
Currently
Notes:
Plain text notes with markdown elements synced via DropBox edited in NvAlt on Mac, and Notesy on iOS.
Sketches:
Moleskine notebooks of various sizes (mostly Reporter). Currently experimenting with even smaller ones (Cahier journals)
Visual References:
After years of screenshots on my desktop and reference folders full of unnamed images I made lightweight pinterest clone https://github.com/vorg/kollektor
Articles:
Pocket as 'todo readme' solution but currently working on and app for hyperlinking pdf's for computer graphics papers.
ToDo:
Gave up on per project hierarchical task list as they always get old and dusty. So instead I split information into long living stuff and references (links, project requirements, hardware specs etc) that goes into notes. And one task list for MIT (most important tasks) daily similar to Autofocus system (Autofocus system - http://markforster.squarespace.com/blog/2009/1/6/autofocus-s...) + smaller ones for bug lists per project, TaskPaper for Mac, and TaskMator / Listacular for iOS. I even wrote custom editor for TaskPaper notes that takes advantage of fullscreen (think TweetDeck for todos).
Bookmarks:
Everything after delicious got bought http://pinboard.in/ (but moving to Kollektor more and more)
Mindmaps:
For notetaking (FreeMind on Mac, MindNode on iPad) and monthly planning where I list all my current projects, incoming ones, ideas, goals etc.
Limitations:
- NvAlt search is fast but sucks if you have long notes (hard to search inside them)
- Still haven't found good outliner for iOS. Taskpaper was promising but died (discontinued on iOS).
- Plain text is cool and durable but missing possibility of dropping images here and there
Dreaming:
- not sure if one size fits all will ever happen but something like pinterest mashup with workflowy with one data structure but multiple editing modes (list, outline, mindmap, spatial)
- i'll call it RAM (Remote Access Memory)
