A brief rant on note-taking apps and the structure of thought - @Conaw

Some really interesting thoughts on the intersection between thinking and note-taking apps from the creator of Roam Research. A lot of overlapping ideas with what is discussed here.

I especially found interesting the idea that our thoughts in our minds are graphs but they are transformed into streams/strings as they come out the mouth, and that what we're trying to do is re-construct those graphs with our note-taking tools (when we're using them to think).

  • There are some pretty interesting thoughts in here. It's too bad the author's answer to the quandaries he poses was yet another software-as-a-service silo with a pile of adtech mixed in.
