To wrap it back to the GP's comment, I get the complaint about Apple Notes not being E2E encrypted - but, if you've got sensitive data that needs to be recorded, why are you cloud-syncing it in the first place with a company that has frequently been investigated/prodded by the US Government, and even more frequently probed/violated by data exfiltration companies that work directly with the aforementioned government?

I wouldn't trust Telegram or Signal any more than I'd trust WhatsApp, Messenger, Messages, or whatever Google's monthly name for their chat app is to have such conversations in most countries. They're not using any such apps, and either doing disposable communications (burner phones, pen and paper convos, etc), or they're arranging meetings in other ways.Įncryption/security has been commoditized by app and platform creators and packaged into a marketing tool. It's one reason why the conversations that frequently happen on HN about Telegram feel so misguided to me - those who have conversations that may put themselves at risk _aren't using the app for such conversations_. Basically the thought is "If you could find it without being a member of some ring of trust, so can the police". Not even on the basis of the security model of secret chats, but the discoverability of them. It is extremely well known not to trust TG for secret conversations, illegal purchases or any other illegal activities, and so on. I know that it's popular on HN to shit on Telegram, but in my current country of residence, Telegram is the most popular messenger program.for normal non-secretive messaging. With so many FUD apps that promise security, for the time being is a very convenient litmus test for laypersons to know "how much should I trust this app?"

Steve Yegge said it best when he said that Security and Usability are constantly at odds, and from my perspective, this is a good thing to some degree. Vehicles for intentional deception that allow bad actors to get you to share sensitive/personal data under the impression that it's protected Lost data due to key mismanagement (not a bad thing, but extremely inconvenient)

The concept behind thoughtless encryption is noble, but for all encryption models/schemes I know of, it has to be a concentrated and intentional decision else you end up with: It can give the wrong impression about security and lead to dangerous decisions/actions or lack thereof. Set and forget encryption, or programs that advertise they can skip the first step, are dangerous in my opinion/experience. I'm a gigantic privacy advocate and probably senselessly cautious about tons of technologies, but that's the result of a conscious choice. Yes, but let's not conflate this specific use case with every day usage. Some document structure is useful: I have monthly work notes, yearly personal notes, "Inbox" on the go, and long running project notes that I keep adding to and tweak. And I use it on iPhone on the go to capture ideas, access shopping lists, etc.

Mac is for copying in screenshots from web pages, or large amounts of text.

iPad Pro 12.9" is my primary device, together with Apple Pencil. Synching: I have Notability running on my desktop Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Being able to move/scale diagrams as I develop them has allowed me to start sketching more easily without any idea of where the diagram will go (e.g., ERD).

Exporting to PDF stores my notes in a long lasting standard format, preserving the character of my handwriting and diagrams. Searchability of my handwritten notes is great, even after I export my notes to PDF. There seems to be a richer thought process to be happending when I use my hands for thinking (rather than pressing keys on a keyboard). When I'm faced with a challenging task, I start doodling in Notability and keep being surprised at the creative solutions that emerge as I'm writing and sketching. However, using handwriting instead of typing has improved my cognition and creativity significantly. Having a fixed page like canvas doesn't strike me as a problem as I can move my diagrams around and scale them if I run out of space (huge advantage compared to drawing on paper).īefore Notability I was using mostly markdown files in git. I have been using Notability with great success for the last year.
