I started 2026 year from migrating from text notes to Jupyter Notebook notes. This seems pretty fun.

that's really cool, never thought about doing that

Just try it

i'm not sure how to on mobile

I've been using it for note-taking for many years. It's kinda hackish use case, not really initially designed for general note-taking.

I love the editing/viewing modes, exactly what I'm looking for in note-taking software. Apart from that, I haven't encountered any note-taking software I'd be happy to use. That's why I've been thinking of building one. For almost a decade, lol.

One of the critical things for me is just performance: even minor creativity interruptions make it impossible for me to express whatever came to my mind properly and in the right place. That's why I usually use Neovim first and then copy-paste. And that's one of the reasons why I'm sure that a native app (not Electron or something) is the best fit for this particular problem: even if we have a blazing fast web frontend, at some point either something breaks in the browser or in the video driver, and due to the complexity of the whole system, this just stops working as expected.

What I've needed is plain text note taking + executing code inline for routine activities with feedback loops and interesting demos. Jupyter Notebook is good choice for this. Any coding editor for me seems to be focused on coding specific project, not journaling with interactive examples
