Ask HN: Pinterest for Text?

This has been and still is one of my main quests, too.

I have tried almost everything: Evernote, OneNote, Google Kepp, lastly Wenote (Android), Dokuwiki, etc.

Currently I'm jumping between Notion and Telegram (saved messages).

I'd be more than interested if something 'better' emerges. Or, when I know code, I'll probably start my own as a side-project.

I really wanted to like Notion. For me it's completely unusable.

Notion feels like the opposite of the Unix tenet, "do one thing and do it well".

I was somewhat excited when they released their web clipper recently but I found out it doesn't allow to save snippets from a page (only allows to save the url), which makes it useless for me.

Also the emojis are very offputting. Maybe it works well if the user wants to organize a trip with friends but I want to use it as a research tool.

Hey Voodoo, can I talk to you about what you're looking for? I might be working on something you can use! My email is [email protected] :)
