It's amazing that people can witness POTUS 44→45 and still make "well I have nothing to hide" arguments :/
They're not saying they have nothing to hide, they're saying they're not joting down quick notes of anything they have to hide.
Personally I find Apple Notes the most convenient for quick jotting down of ideas etc. It’s not the most advanced in terms of features but it loads instantly, is quick to use and is available on all of my devices. Have tried numerous alternatives but they’ve never stuck e.g. they’re slow to start up or are fussy to use or don’t work well on one platform. For deeper sketching out of ideas, diagrams etc I really like C…
Apple Notes are not end to end encrypted. Thanks to programs like PRISM, US military intelligence has realtime access to the plaintext contents of much of the information you store in iCloud (including notes and photos), without a court order. That, for me, makes it a nonstarter.
- Cloud document systems (Google docs, Dropbox paper, Notion)....
- Project management systems (Trello, Asana, Monday)
- Todo/task/notes management (Keep, Todoist, Evernote)
- Customer Ticketing systems (Zendesk, helpscout, freshdesk)
- Bug/issue tracking systems (Pivotal, Jira, Github)
- Crms (Salesforce, Hubspot, Streak)
- And then theres even specialized customer facing and internal facing KnowledgeBase products (getguru, readme.io..)
Can you see the insanity? So many apps that are just different ways of abstracting and sorting knowledge, relationships, time and next steps.
A lot of progress has been made in enabling developers to integrate customer (event) data accross apps over the past 5 years (segment, mparticle with their data layers). But what about a standard data layer for the folder / project/tickets / tasks / notes hierarchies that exists in all these apps. So our information and knowledge isnt so siloed?

That’s my issue with the Microsoft surface stylus work- and a lesser extent Apple. They don’t compare to written, and a decent amount is the pen tip friction. Wacom comes close. However the apps themselves ? I’d like to use one note more, but PDFs don’t become copy-able text. Searchable but not copyable. Writing on a surface device is ugh. And I had really high hopes that they would push on the tech. Procreate -iOS-…
They make screen films to recreate this friction on the iPad Pro. A lot of my artists friends use them: https://paperlike.com/

i used notes for personal design drawings/sketches, and it was great for that purpose until the upgrade.

I was successful for a long time using GitHub Gists for notes, so much so in fact that I wrote an iOS client that lets you take markdown notes and saves them all directly to your Gists (OctoNote on iOS https://apps.apple.com/us/app/octonote/id1433164731) but since then I've added probably 5+ notes apps to the list.
Just for fun, my feature list includes: * Markdown (ideally compatibility + basic styling) * Project viewing (sidebar listing out notes, representing folder structure) * Customizable themes/fonts * Git integration (or other cloud backup) * Mac app * iOS app

Is there a way to use it on a different platform? I like to use Linux systems and even though Microsoft sells Windows, OneNote allows me to use it in a browser. Apple still seems to favor their walled garden so that you have to live with all their downsides in order to enjoy the good parts.
Nothing has been as frictionless as nvALT[1]. Plain text, full text search, and point it at iCloud/Dropbox/Drive and now you have your notes fully synced. I’ve spent far more time than I care to admit trying out new note applications... [1]: https://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/
I use this as well, have all my stuff in a git repo and sync it to my iOS device so I can edit it with apps like iA Writer or 1Writer easily.
