#15Apple notes. Its somewhat limited, but it is fast, which means I can have a thought about updating the grocery list, open it, find the grocery list and add the item before I forget.
I have used OneNote (which I think is free?) and EverNote before, and they are both much more powerful in terms of organization, but they are also much slower, Evernote particularily so.

#17Paper on a clipboard with colored pens and a sheet fed scanner, archiving as a date-prefixed PDF in git next to associated code.

#20Dendron for its blazing speed and its ease of use. https://www.dendron.so/
What does "blazing speed" mean in the context of a note-taking app? Using notepad and a basic markdown file is also blazing fast, but that doesn't tell me anything about it?
What are the specific features that made you choose Dendron over other knowledge management tools? I'm not trying to be adversarial, I'm genuinely curious.
