During the last year, I’ve been using SN to organize all my knowledge – and it has been a fantastic experience. SN is truly impressive!
However, I’ve noticed two important issues in my workflow:
- When can I go back to my cards? One of the most persistent challenges in note-taking is that notes often end up in the “bin of time.” While I’m reading, I’m also taking notes, but it’s rare that I return to them for review. Considering the importance of retrieval practice, this becomes a significant problem. A good solution for SN would be some form of spaced repetition – similar to what Readwise offers.
- Supernotes has a problem – but who is perfect?
One limitation is a certain rigidity. For example, in Heptabase, we can organize notes on a whiteboard, freely drawing connections and viewing our cards in a more holistic perspective. This is fantastic because it mimics our natural way of thinking. I don’t have a definitive answer for SN, but introducing a kind of whiteboard feature to facilitate connections between cards would be fantastic.
What do you think, friends?
