It just sat there, streaming my Google Music library. Didnât do anything with my Windows laptop.Got overwhelmed with options on the iPad (iOS in general).Became frustrated with the options I evaluated on Android.Decided on nvALT for capturing notes on OS X.Filename is note title, file text is note content. Decided that âcaptured itemsâ are plaintext Markdown-formatted files in my Dropbox GoPlain/Notes directory.It should just be there, waiting for when Iâm ready to deal with processing it.ÄȘ tl dr version of where I am with this, at the time of writing: No messing with filing and categorizing a âcaptured itemâ. This means as few clicks and taps as possible to get to âcapture modeâ. The act of âcapturing a piece of informationâ must be totally frictionless.Handle poor connectivity with dignity â we are talking about plaintext files here. Sync âcaptured itemsâ across all said devices, given connectivity.
