nadc··on Join the Dropbox Notes beta
I've been using this in beta since early march, if anyone has any specific questions I'm happy to field them.

Personal findings so far:

- Keyboard shortcuts are unparalleled compared to any other note taking app I've used (both desktop & web). Not needing to use a mouse to move around chunks of notes is highly productive.

- Safari seems to lose sync more often than Chrome.

- The design is really, really white. It took me a few days for it to stop hurting my eyes after tabbing to it from my IDE.

nadc··on MH370: China releases satellite images of possible crash site
Vox Media (behind The Verge, Polygon, SB Nation etc.) announced in January they're working on something similar [1]. Their jobs page [2] is listing a few positions under 'Project X'.

Worth keeping an eye on.

Reminds me of this Steve Jobs quote. Amusingly, you could substitute 'television networks' for 'social networks' and it would be a relevant argument today, despite being made 17 years ago:

"When you're young, you look at television and think, There's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That's a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It's the truth." - Steve Jobs, Interview in WIRED magazine (February 1996)
