Why note-taking apps don’t make us smarter

A powerful note-taking tool. All your ideas – typed and connected.

Capacities – A studio for your mind

Notetaking is personal so my assessment may not be yours—you should try them. Casey Newton wrote an article about both the allure and shortcomings of them. IMO the kind of results people want come from a more deliberate practice. Good in, good out. At least until AI comes around.

Generally on board with the idea that "connected notes" are largely a waste of time and Apple Notes is 🐐. However, capacities.io is kinda nice. It's Roam's data layer coupled with Notion's aesthetics (though a touch more colorful).

Why do you feel connected notes are a waste of time?

I ask because I've been considering trying them out to help organize my thoughts

Would love to know what you're against argument is
