Why the cross between so many apps?
- TaskPaper tags are nice, but isn't multi-platform.
- I like search+creation UX of nvAlt (explained well on: https://notational.net/), but no decent non-mac clients. Also non-plaintext richtext gets in the way.
- I use SimpleNote because it's multiplatform, but the tags are hard to use. Also somethings like inter-note tags are just a distraction for me (I prefer just being able to type brackets []).
- Drafts probably has the best plaintext editing experience, especially on mobile. Also the actions are very powerful.
My app will combine tasks + notes + bookmarks. I've been making prototypes of subsets of the features, like:
- https://multi-launch.leftium.com/
- https://instant.leftium.com/
- https://todo-taskpaper.leftium.com/
- https://plaintext-press.leftium.com/https://www.dropbox.com/...
Unfortunately the only good Taskpaper client is on Mac: no decent Windows/web/mobile clients.
Someday, I'll get my PIM built... it will be a cross between TaskPaper, nvAlt, SimpleNote, and Drafts app.
Right now, I mostly use SimpleNote (just for keeping notes across devices; not so much for tasks)
