The very act of putting something in double brackets like that should also automatically create the note. I would be OK with doing a Wikipedia-like “link” syntax to facilitate this (like ], or (A Specific Note)). The editor/viewer would need to be smart enough to recognize terms in notes that are the topics of other notes, and then automatically link them together. All notes live in the note library, and “folders” of notes are just ways to bin them together, like “playlists” of notes (and smart playlists/folders too!). I’ll probably put in tags of my own, but I want the app to be smart enough to organize things for me.
However, what I would really love to see is a note-clustering algorithm that’s doing its own unstructured learning on the notes I’ve created and automatically suggesting tags for me. To some degree, human-curated tags are a fine mechanism for organization. Attachment indexing and text recognition would be similarly amazing (Evernote has spoiled me there). Any good notes app needs to support inline and associated attachments. I think Ulysses has the best markdown editor out there, although the one in Day One is also really good. However, this wouldn’t be just any markdown editor. it’s silly for a note editor to not have this. I have no qualms about listing them here because 1) I’m probably never going to write this app anyway, 2) maybe you will, in which case I will buy a copy from you and we will both be happy, and 3) even if I do decide to write it, there’s enough work here to do that I doubt some random person is going to just up and write this in a weekend, and even if he/she does, see point 2 and then #shutupandtakemymoney. Here are the things my personal wiki app would have. For that I use Ulysses, which is the best notes app I’ve found so far.īut nothing I’ve found so far gives me what I want out of my personal encyclopedia app. For everyday, ephemeral notes, I use iOS/macOS’s Notes app, which does just enough to be useful, but not enough that I would really use it for serious information organization. There are a ton of note-taking apps out there. The 20-second summary of this idea is this: my personal Wikipedia. I’ve never gotten around to making it because it would be way more work than I want to put forward, but every now and then I get wistful enough about this idea that I almost consider making it for myself. You know who you are.)įor several years now I’ve had an idea for an app burning a hole in my brain. (The title is a callout to some of my friends from the Delicious Generation.
