What it sucks for is any idea that is better explained or formulated with a drawing. Syncing, backups, distribution to all my devices - all taken care of already because it's email. Then I write whatever in there, or use voice dictation, and hit send. One tap and it opens my email app with my personal email address pre-loaded. I have an 'email to self' app on my phone. If using an app is truly that hard, use a different app. This is like the black-and-white scene in an infomercial in which a person dramatically fails to perform a simple, everyday task. >navigate to the app, wait for it to load up, press the + button, type in the idea using your thumbs, write in a title, save it, shit the app just crashed, load the app back up, great my idea wasnt saved, guess ill try writing it again, damn it i wish these notifications would stop popping up and pinging me, uhhh crap what was the clever angle to my idea again? Damn it.

Not only does it have speech to text recognition but its actually quicker and more reliable than pulling out your notepad, flipping to an empty page, and hoping your writing utensil doesnt break/run out of ink.

Plus if im pulling out my phone, why not just use the voice controlled virtual assistant to record my ideas? You are too excited about the idea and trying your hardest to recall all the key details and keep them freshly in mind to be able to navigate to the app, wait for it to load up, press the + button, type in the idea using your thumbs, write in a title, save it, shit the app just crashed, load the app back up, great my idea wasnt saved, guess ill try writing it again, damn it i wish these notifications would stop popping up and pinging me, uhhh crap what was the clever angle to my idea again? Damn it. Its just too hard to get into the habit of remembering you have a note taking app on your phone that you can use whenever the good idea has just hit you. In that kind of scenario, i find that a small notebook and pencil is still superior to an app simply because i don't have to think too much about the process of getting myself into a position where i can actually record the idea. So while you are right that notes apps have been around, its the little things that really make the difference here.Īlso i know, at least for me, that when i find myself wanting to take notes most is whenever its a spur of the moment kind of idea that i dont want to lose. You can even email notes right into it (they give you a special email address) which I use for things like tech newsletters and stuff.

No matter what it is you want to capture and store, no matter what platform, they have a way to quickly and easily do it. Thats The value prop that EN brings to the table. It should be fast and easy and available everywhere. If you practice GTD like me, you need a trusted repository for capturing your thoughts, items, todos, etc. You can do that with a wiki I suppose but it's more friction than is worthwhile IMO. I regularly scan documents and use EN to manage a paperless office for instance. So much of what I capture in a given day is much more than that. Capturing TEXT is a fairly trivial problem. Capturing anything outside of a traditional desktop context is going to suuuuuck. You'll have to roll your own infrastructure including backups.

Yes a full text search and wiki linking interface would get a fairly large chunk of the essential functionality done. I would respectfully like to posit that perhaps you haven't fully thought through what makes EN and its ilk different. Beorg (iOS) is great but still pretty short on features.

That _might_ be what finally gets me off EN but the mobile experience just isn't there yet. I dunno, I've tried em all and EN is still the best IMO. It's got a very usable api to integrate it into any part of your workflow they don't cover. Scan documents (and then find them with OCR).

If you can't give me what I want in less than a few seconds you go in the bin.ĮN has the advantage of being available on Mac and Windows (and Linux w/ Wine), allows you to capture from literally anywhere and has a fantastic and fast search. I need to be able to get a piece of knowledge on the go fast. Notion covers most of the bases but its an electron app and its SLOOOOOOOOOThats a dealbreaker for me. I prefer a nested hierarchy which I can get with tags in EN.

OneNote is fine but I don't like they way it handles organizing data. Only ones that come close are OneNote and Notion. I've yet to find anything that touches it in terms of features and functionality. Yes they have had some problems and I have even tried to jump ship (as recently as last fall when I gave DEVONThink a go). I find it weird that no one is mentioning that this article is written by an EN competitor.
