Our Mind In Writing
The written words are a precious asset: thoughts, notes, plans, diaries, correspondence, code, articles and books. They are a written history of our lives. That is why the format they should be in should be plain text files: the most reliable, flexible and long-lasting option.
Every device, including ones long gone, and ones not invented yet, can read and edit plain text.

The Plain Text File: Uncommercial And Offline
- Every few years a new company says you should use their special format. You have to pay them a monthly fee to use it.
- You will outlive these companies. Your writing should outlive you. Plain text is un-commercial.
- There are places and times when you can't get online. Don't depend on any tool that needs an internet connection.
- If you rely on Word, Evernote, or Notion, you are helpless without them.
- Plain text files and a basic text editor are enough. If you only use plain text, you can work on any device, forever. The less you depend on, the better.

Plain Text Is Easy To Convert
Plain text can be converted into anything else, including HTML, Markdown, JSON, LaTeX, and many other standard formats.
You can make your own personal formats in your plain text files.
Use a scripting language like Ruby, Python, or JavaScript to grab the data and tags, and use them for categorizing, sorting, renaming, archiving, or exporting.

What To Do For Visuals And Graphics
- Keep your graphics files alongside your text files.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
