To achieve this, I need a way to support these two different phases of notes:
* The first phase is "get-it-down."
* The second phase is "refine."
The "get-it-down" phase needs to be fast. It's important for me that I don't need to think about where to write. The "refine" phase is where you can delete, organize, edit, and build off of what you've written. It should also be fast.
I always had to use two tools to satisfy these needs. I needed one place where I could write fast/loose, and one place that's more organized and structured. This resulted in me writing to the "organized" knowledge base less. So I was less likely to get the most out of the things I was learning.
That's why I built bytebase.io.
With Bytebase, you jot things down into a temporary space called "No Man's Land." Then you organize your notes using keyboard shortcuts. If you want to check out our closed beta, email me at cara@bytebase.io. Would love any feedback.
