Controversial suggestion: maybe we need to get used to remembering and finding less rather than being on the endless search for The Tool That Does It All.
There's something intoxicating about breathing in the latest ZettleNoteMarkdown thing: I know this only too well, having played with many of them, but maybe there's a limit to what we could or should worry about remembering or finding?
I know it's unpalatable, and it makes me feel a bit sick to not be able to find Thing X that I know I've looked at once, but ultimately we're on a hiding to nothing. There will always be MORE and maybe we need to get used to it being ok to settle for less...
Author here. In some sense, I agree. The internet has too much incredible stuff on it, more stuff than a hundred human lifetimes would allow for enjoying, much less remembering/understanding/learning.
I think I desire these tools more out of the frustration I experience in working with, sharing, and remixing the little content I did/do have enough time for.
My hope is if I spend less time getting highlights and information from one platform to another I could spend more time arranging them into something interesting.
