  1. I used to use #nvALT for digitally taking notes on tools and methods, sometimes meetings. It's fast and keyboard friendly, but my notes' Markdown needs some processing before I can publish them online. I tried #Zettlr, which provides some additional features like backlinks.
    But it looks like #Obsidian provides even more features that I like. So I think it's time to import my notes.
    (I'm not looking for tips per se)

  2. @MacLemon I'm curious how #NVAlt works with so many notes, and how you separate different types of information? I have really resonated with #Obsidian because different types of notes can be in separate vaults so they don't mix. My work notes are separate from my blog posts or my life management-type docs. How do you keep those separate in NVAlt or #NVUltra? Even having spaces based off different directories would help keep things orderly. @ttscoff

  3. Note taking is ∞. Personally I'm the Student/Librarian archetype of a note taker.

    I've amassed ≈10k text only notes. On macOS I'm using #nvAlt brettterpstra.com/projects/nva which improved upon #NotationalVelocity notational.net all syncing via #Simplenote on iOS.

    I'm hoping for #nvUltra nvultra.com/ by @ttscoff to become publicly available at some point. The betas I was lucky enough to try are phenomenal.

    So far, nothing else comes close, for me.

  4. @marcjenkins The speed of #NotationalVelocity and #NVAlt! It was breathtaking at the time. Nice, simple, minimal interface, to boot.

  5. @ivan3bx @AriT93 @davew that's cool Ivan, thanks for following! Are you familiar with #NVAlt and now #NVUltra? It's not quite the way I like to work but my understanding is that it's been in continuous development all this time?

    I'm a fan of the dev @ttscoff , especially his #Mac Service Tools for working with #markdown. 🔌

  6. @roguefoam @nhan #OpenSource strategies paid off well for certain tools! I remember my #NVAlt days, when a #branch of #NotationalVelocity became more interesting than the parent.

    I'm more concerned about tools that are fully funded by #VentureCapital. What happens when investors tire of waiting for profits? I know a lot of tools many people take for granted -- #Asana comes to mind -- that are in peril because they still haven't learned to turn a profit (and haven't had to).
