#2I have completely ditched note taking systems in favor of a flat structure and strong search features. I just make a bunch of .md files and edit them in vscode.

#3LISP in your notes? That's cool. For my note taking I use the great tiddlywiki. A lot of features seem to overlap with the tiddlywiki. What seems nicer is the syntax, which is cool. As a tiddlywiki user, what's the advantage of this note taking app over that one?

I do this. I also have a small plugin that causes F6 to pull up scratchpad.md

#5Looks interesting. However, no more subscriptions. I only use FOSS software or software I can buy for money.

If people are interested, Joplin is a great FOSS note taking software built on markdown but adds e2e encryption, a web clipper, a nice desktop UI, Integrated syncing (you can use Dropbox or something like that, or pay for their service), and more. The mobile app needs some work, but overall I like it.

#8> S-expressions in the equation example
Yes.
> You already have the app. Save notes to /tap via text message (SMS), the website or a bookmarklet.
K now I'm actually going to use this. Nice work. (Good landing page!)

I like the approach to plain text or .md files but for some reason the tool being in the web browser makes me much more productive. I suspect it's because I'm already in the browser all day.
Because the browser makes me so much more productive, I built my own second brain software tool and I posted it as a Show HN yesterday (it's a rough first go).

#10I've been thinking a lot about this lately. I've been using todopy (which works on the todo.txt format/spec) to manage tasks, and hledger to manage finances, and after having tried a myriad of solutions for organizing life, it seems it's these simple CLI tools with text-based formats that work best for me.
This product kind of feels like that, but without the main upsides (easy extensibility, you own your data, it's all accessible locally so latency is non-existent). I don't really see much benefit vs having local files backed up by GKeep and/or a VCS instead.
Still might steal some of the ideas, though. In particular, tracking events is useful ("when was it that I last had to order gas again? Do I need it soon?")
