Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it for both personal and business. I write my newsletter in it. I take client notes, software notes, problem fixes, software tricks, hardware fixes, book notes, billing notes, daily notes, and personal notes.

Pros

  • take and find notes of any kind.
  • Exports notes for sharing.
  • Syncs between devices.
  • Exports notes as html.

Cons

  • It currently lacks integrated Grammar checking.
  • Lack of integrated AI.

Return on Investment

  • I write my newsletter with it.
  • I use it to monitor my billing - Getting money has a high ROI.
  • Client notes. Hard to know what the ROI is for knowing what the client last had a problem with, but I assume it is part of why I've kept the same clients for decades.
