A good friend of mine is falling down the Xitter to Red Hat pipeline and it has me thinking about how to get better at remembering sources of information or, hell, just remember certain topics long enough to research them thoroughly enough to be able to speak at least somewhat eloquently about the topic.

Fairly confident the friend is going to follow the path he’s going to follow, so I’m not looking for advice on that.

    I love the tiles view Google Keeps has. It has widgets so you can see any particular note on your phones home page open at any time. I write everything down in there that doesn’t need to be on Google calendar. When you go on it it’s just a flurry of notes you can all see at the same time, you can use timed reminders that notify you every day or whatever day you like.

    Edit: I’d love to stop using the evil Google though, just saying, if anyone knows an app exactly like this without Google, hmu

      I’ve been testing out Notally (available on f-droid). Seems like a solid replacement. Doesn’t have the cloud backup of Keep, though (I don’t think).

          I have NotallyX installed, to be specific. I finally dug into the settings, and it does support automatic backups to a local folder. So you would need to pair it with a cloud backup app, but the good news is cloud backup should be very doable! Looks like you can manually export as well.
