That bares the danger of unimportant notes being carried over way too often. requiring maintenance later, when you have to decide whether you want to keep it and where you want to file it.

Paired with in-line images and a bullet-journal style todo system, with a review view built-in, as well as NotePlan’s take on “custom perspective” or save-able filters. In v3 you’ll have #-tags and folders (all multi-level) on top of the calendar based system. The syntax-hiding is still not quite right.

    Agenda finally came up with a share extension and it is very well thought out. Agenda makes it difficult to get all your data out - you have to do this on a note-by-note basis. NotePlan keeps your data in plain text files.There are pros and cons to how well they do what they do, in my eyes. Though they both operate different, they basically do the same thing. I think it takes a particular kind of mindset and discipline to use a calendar-centric note taking app like Agenda or NotePlan.
