I'm always trying things for this, first WorkFlowy, now:
I also tried Notion but it's very slow.

#262I now use Notion ( https://notion.so/ , I'm not affiliated) to replace all of the below tools that I have used in the past. - To do lists (prev. Org mode, OmniFocus, Things, many others) - Bookmark lists (prev. raindrop.io, Pinboard, others) - Kanban boards (prev. GitLab, Trello, others) - Wikis (prev. MediaWiki, Confluence, TiddlyWiki, etc.) - General notes (prev. my own tool, OneNote, Evernote, Simplenote, many oth…
Does it have exports and backups? And do you know how long they've been around? It looks very tempting, but I want to know whether they'll be around a while. I know I can rely on trello and onenote.
Andrea from Notion here. We do have one-click export to markdown, but not an automatic backup function. We get requests for that sometimes though, so we'd consider it. :)
We've been building Notion for 2 years and have a great backing team who truly believe in our vision:

I want to like Notion. It's great in theory but it's not ready yet, at least for me. It does a lot which is awesome but doesn't seem to do any of those things great. I love all the different formats of things it supports / handles though. I need something that is easy to use on mobile. If it's supposed to replace my bookmark tool I need to be able to add a bookmark with one click and categorize it etc. Same with my t…
Andrea from Notion here. The web browser works pretty well and we're building an iOS app right now also. No web clipper yet but we'd consider it. :)

#264Earlier quoted context omitted.
Perhaps old fashioned, but I fill up a page of TWSBI [1] every evening, using a Sheaffer Prelude [2]. [1] http://www.twsbi.com/collections/notebooks/products/twsbi-no... [2] https://www.amazon.com/Sheaffer-Prelude-Black-Featuring-Foun...
I've never head of TWSBI, although I do enjoy Moleskine. Would you be able to give a comparison between them?
Cannot comment on Moleskine as I've never used one. I am loving TWSBI notebooks [1]: the paper is thick, and does not feather or bleed with fountain pen ink. There is very little ghosting which makes it possible to use both sides of paper. Here [2] is a review I found helpful.

#266For Bookmark lists I'm finishing to develop a tool that can allow you to create a learning unit (a folder) with a specific topic like, "Learning RxJs", that contains a resource (a link find in internet) related to the topic.
Sometimes the bookmark tool like Pocket allow you to create a tag (similar to a folder) but this tag a little later became a blob of informations. This makes it impossible to keep track of learning progress, and i try to fix this with my tool.
My tool is similar to knowledge base or rather a container of the things you want to learn! Infact if you save a link in your bookmark folder, like Develop, you try to understand and learn later the content of the link.
Bookmark folder on browser, Pocket or similar tool, don't work for me for the learning process.

#267After years of failed attempts I gave up trying to organize everything and started to brutally eliminate most of it. It has been pretty liberating.
I used to hate getting rid of anything. Then I realized that for most of this stuff, odds were I was never going to look at it again between now and when I die. It's kind of morbid, but makes it easier to get rid of that folder of things I meant to read from 3 years ago, or that box of artifacts from my past that has remained unopened through 3 apartment moves.
I've found that moving is a great way to face the reality that a lot my stuff isn't needed. Especially, as you mentioned, the stuff that's remained in boxes from previous moves.
Re: Ask HN: How do you organise/integrate all the information in your life?
#268Honestly, I just keep everything in a journal. I have a folder called "daypages" in my dropbox. Each day in my life becomes a file in this folder. Today's is "daypages/2016-10-26.org" That's about it. I don't really organize by project much. Each day typically covers the tasks that I intend to get done that day, along with places I've been / friends I've met. The occasional tearful journal entry punctuates the otherw…
I do something similar but I gave up using org-mode (mostly because that was all I was using emacs for and I spent more time configuring the thing 'just so' than I did actually using it. Now I just keep everything in plain text and aliased it to 'tj' (todays journal). alias tj="touch ~/Dropbox/journal/$(date +%d-%m-%Y).org && code ~/Dropbox/journal/$(date +%d-%m-%Y).org" Effortless backups as well (and as a side bene…
I've been using jrnl (https://github.com/maebert/jrnl) for this. Pretty similar idea - still plain text, but adds a CLI wrapper with a few more features.

#269I hope to release TableTops next year. It's a non-linear graphical (in two senses of the word) knowledge management software that stores universal links to all of your stuff, local and in the cloud. It also does notes, tags, and script nodes (which can for example be used as alarms / reminders) and represents EVERYTHING as a great big graph. The main UI element is a TableTop, which is also just a node in the graph th…
This sounds kind of similar to something I started working on years ago, but never really shipped in any meaningful way: HTFS" rel="nofollow">http://dentedreality.com.au/projects/htfs/">HTFS.
I suffered from the same issue of rewriting the prototype a few different times, in a few different languages/approaches, and never really seeing any of them through far enough to know if it'd be truly useful.
Hope you get yours shipped, for purely selfish reasons!

#270Taskpaper[1]: a simple text file that has conventions for tagging, search, filtering, etc. I'm building an enhanced text editor that makes viewing/editing taskpaper files more convenient: - Interactive programmatic access via an embedded scripting console - GUI for creating/editing tasks and tags (like calendar widget, autocomplete) - Enhanced views, for example: - Calendar view - Priority view (automatically sorted…
