Hi Si I read this the other day but didn't have time to comment. Now I am done getting ready for our trip tomorrow and I have a moment to breathe. My thoughts:
1. Fascinating that this is the *opposite* of Evergreen notes, which is all the rage now. 2. I think it would make more sense to allow overwriting notes, but take a moment to think things through in the moment: might I need this version's info later? Like Tones said, a combination approach. There could be academic fields or professions where tracking the development of one's thoughts is pretty important. But probably most people would feel fine adding to or updating a note. 3. It would be interesting to know the personality types (whether using Myers-Briggs or OCEAN) that gravitate toward certain notetaking tools. This person seems like he could be an OCD type, feeling the need to have all information organized thoroughly. 4. The article seems also to be pre-release propaganda for the Idea Flow product. Probably best just to evaluate Idea flow when it becomes available for preview. Maybe seeing it work will give us an idea on how to implement in a useful way.
