notebook

This article sounds almost like an advertise to me for some reason. May be I'm biased though, in my household there is no TV or ipads, and my son is strictly not allowed to any of these gadgets. Here is a really good research on children attention; https://github.com/azer/notebook/blob/master/parenting/child... There is also a podcast episode about it in the same folder.

Public and private Git repos of markdown files that sync to Dropbox, so; - I can use my IDE in desktop to search / change them. - On iOS, iA Writer can access to markdown files - I get PRs to my public notebook because it’s on Github: https://github.com/azer/notebook - The format and tooling are unlimited. Images, sound files, jupyter notebooks, everything fits - It’s not binded to a product or protocol. I have freedom to personalize it and keep it the way I want. - It scales beautifully. It’s been 3 years since I started it. - The only problem was to have same IDE style for both code and markdown, I solved it later: https://kodfabrik.com/journal/ia-writer-mode-for-emacs/ I’d recommend it for those looking for alternative options.

I tried it with my notebook repo at https://github.com/azer/notebook , the result wasn't impressive; https://hub.mybinder.org/user/azer-notebook-rgdv97ik/edit/bo... Original Github view looks more clean: https://github.com/azer/notebook/blob/master/books/zero-to-o...

I moved to Berlin recently and started making a list of “cool” startups and venture capital firms in my public notebook. It can be a reference for people who are curious about the ecosystem here: cool startups: https://github.com/azer/notebook/blob/master/berlin.md#cool-... venture capital firms: https://github.com/azer/notebook/blob/master/berlin.md#ventu... PRs are welcome.

Having a personal notebook is a game changer. If you don't have yet, I highly recommend, tool is not that important... I just use Emacs and Markdown. It's like my permanent memory, and it's public: https://github.com/azer/notebook I even got a pull request once about a note on parenting :) Specifically about coding, the best thing is, I can quickly open a note within my editor. For example, I forget some rules about Bash all the time. Instead of Googling the same thing over and over, I open the bash programming notes with a few key presses, check the rule, close the note. This happens really fast as I use Emacs for both coding and taking notes.

I use Github for digital notes: https://github.com/azer/notebook And physical notebook for other things.
