Yes. Very much so. I often resort to pen and paper because I want to get down a more free form idea and I often feel very constrained by a note taking platform. I feel like this one is different in that way.
Is there an easy way to embed something from one pane into another? When I have a "drawing" pane I can export the image to svg or png and then import on the "text" pane, but I would love to just send the image over the wall with one click. Maybe its already in there and I'm missing it?
I live in rural Ireland, and I've heard more than one story about a farmer who discovered some archeological find on their land and just plowed over it to avoid the hassle.
I like this. It really helps illustrate that how long it takes to get to Mars can vary hugely depending on when you leave Earth.
My kids learned in school (during the 5 minutes of the year they spent talking about the solar system) that Venus is closer to Earth than Mars, but I had to use a diagram like this to explain that that's only sometimes true
kind of limiting that you can only go back and forward in time one month though. I would love a slider, a play button
The free (FOSS, I believe) program Celestia is excellent for showing kids that kind of thing.
It’s also lua-scriptable. I once created a “tour of the solar system” script that worked like a presentation (hit a button to advance to the next view) for my wife to use in her classroom, in an afternoon, never having scripted the program or written Lua before. Did a top-down view with orbital tracks, zoomed to planets, did side-by-side size comparisons, all kinds of stuff. Not hard to use, very cool. Or you can just click around the UI and use keyboard shortcuts to demonstrate quite a bit of stuff.
Texting yourself is an imperfect solution to the problem. Note taking apps like obsidian also have "labor" in that you have to pick a location for your note, maybe navigate a folder structure etc. This is a "stream" of notes which is closer to how some of us work. I sort of want my reminders to disappear upwards into the past and not clog my interface, but still be searchable.
If you aren't opposed to Google, "Keep" seems to be fairly well suited for this kind of thing. You can share to it easily on android, it supports a bunch of organizational things (labels, colors, archiving) but they're not in the way if you want to ignore them, and the browser version works great. If you're attached to the chat style, then it might not be perfect, but it's easy to use it as a continually appended log style experience.
Thank you! I can really relate to that habit. Unfortunately, I haven’t started working on an Android version yet, so it doesn’t seem likely to be available soon. Sorry about that.
I can definitely see a use for this already
