blinknote
fastest way to take a note - chrome extension
- opens in miliseconds
- works offline
- saves data via Chrome Sync so your data will be everywhere you're logged into Chrome
Downsides
- data not accessible on mobile as chrome extensions don't work there
- note size limit of 100k bytes
- single file, no folder-y organization
Alternatives
Data only available on Chrome and not mobile (chrome.storage.sync)
TabText -- best alternative
- loads in under 1 second
- doesn't handle too much data error well
- is very customizable
- not as minimalistic
- has the weather forecast
- rich text instead of markdown
- minimalistic
- takes a bit over a second to load
- requres 4 tabs to get to typing (or you have to click with your mouse)
- is 45k lines of code (including all libraries)
Data available on all devices
- noteto.me loads quickly, but still ~2 seconds, and depends upon Edsu which is new tech, but accessible from mobile
- notion currently takes 3+ seconds to load but they recently promised faster loading time before the end of 2018
- google docs take 3-7 seconds to load
- google keep takes 3+ seconds to load
