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.
