Working with the Forever✱Notes scheme in Apple Notes and I find that there are wonderful reasons to use Notes for the purpose. And I’m learning there are some things that I wish notes could already do.
I wish individual Notes had anchor tags, like old HTML, so I could have a sort of table of contents for a long note and jump from the top of a note to a specific section.
Links between notes work great, so I suppose the obvious solution is to break the long note into separate items that can be linked? Maybe now I understand the Forever✱Notes Hub concept?
Tonight I verified that tags work for the Apple Notes index and for searching, but not as links in and of themselves. The drawback is that instead of going from a note with a tag directly to other notes with the same tag, I need to scroll the list of tags to find the tag for the note I’m already on to go to the full list of notes with that tag.
Again, Notes is free for the price of your devices and the sync just works with the base iCloud functionality.
So, just like always, I’ve got a tool that mostly does what I want and need, but I’m looking at other tools once again. All the while I understand there are always trade offs.
Thank you for hanging with me while I think out loud.
Blogging about journaling is less meta than blogging about blogging, right?
