Really, really liking @reflectnotes so far. It's just the right amount of simple/fast for a personal note taking app and does most of the hard work of organizing in the background.

Playing around with @reflectnotes. I’m back logging key thoughts, details and soundbites from episodes, books, meetings, articles, etc from the past week. So far, it’s a knowledge worker’s dream come true.

I just received an invite to @reflectnotes, and holy crap! It is well thought out, and I can see this being my note-taking platform going forward. Well done! I'm looking forward to seeing how the app progresses.

I’m keeping @reflectnotes open *all* the time, and I’m using both for simple journaling, and long form writing. It’s rare to see a single app work so well for both.

All righty. I have to give a massive shout-out to @maccaw for pioneering @reflectnotes. It has already matured to a point where it is a daily driver for me. The speed, focus, and attention to detail (especially perfect bits of structured data) is superb.

Absolutely loving @reflectnotes. The visualisation of the neural network is superb and seeing it develop makes me want to take daily notes. The back-linking makes associations effortless. Hats off to @maccaw and his team, it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for🙏
