I tried to move my notes out of Emacs. I failed. Again

  • The author suffers from 'Emacs Fatigue' and decides to move notes to Bear, an app that is solid, beautiful, and simple.
  • Bear syncs flawlessly and uses an SQLite database, but the author feels his notes are trapped inside the app, requiring reliance on a specific platform.
  • The author is also drawn to Linux but uses macOS, and returns to Denote in Emacs because it natively supports Markdown files.
  • After exporting notes from Bear, the author converts them with a script and acknowledges a recurring pattern of leaving Emacs and coming back.
