(Like a lot of others in the comments here) I use Notion 😄 It's easy to transfer the draft from there to DEV, and while I'm still getting a rough draft down, I find Notion really easy to quickly pop into and jot down some thoughts/tweaks even if I'm on mobile.

Also at this point a lot of my life is in Notion 😂, so it's nice to keep everything all together. Interesting reading what other folks are using!

When I'm using the web version of Notion, the only downside would be a slow initial start-up time 😉 All those awesome features take some time to load, I guess 😉

Agree 100% - I have it open a lot and sometimes forget just how slow it can be to start up otherwise. I tried the android app for a while too and found that way worse, so now I just use the web version always!

It might be intimidating at times, those 4-5 secs might feel like an eternity when an awesome idea strikes, but you have nowhere to write it down and have to wait 😄😄

Maybe a good opportunity for me to reflect on "is this actually a good idea 🤔" 😂

Hahah, yeah 😄 Or sometimes it's enough to lose the train of thought 😂😂
