Discussion on: Do you write notes while developing? Where do you write them?

When I'm brainstorming, I use Trello to plan things out, or my sketchbook for drawing wireframes or layouts. And when I find articles or concepts that are valuable, I save them to Evernote using the web clipper.

When I'm coding - especially something new, I keep all my notes in a new Trello card. Code snippets, StackOverflow answers, documentation links are all stored there thanks to the Markdown support and link attachments. Then I take my notes from Trello and expand them into blog articles using MWeb for longer-form Markdown writing.

Makes it much easier when I need to do complex processes again down the line, like configuring server software.
