The dichotomy between tasks and notes doesn't make any sense to me either. The distinction between short and long term things makes more sense, mentally and also technically - apps that have complex features to organize notes always load so slow that they're useless for quickly jotting down thoughts. But still I hate having my thoughts siloed into different apps. I hate having to decide what app to use to write down a specific thought, I hate having to decide which app to search. I made my own app[1], which is currently only useful for short term notes and tasks. I hope with Svelte I can add some features to make it possible to relate notes, to make it more useful for long term projects, while still keeping the app fast enough to be useful for quickly jotting down thoughts.
