# There's not going to be a muse-letter tomorrow; I have some ideas about how I want to take it in a new direction so am holding off for this week.
The bi-weekly publishing schedule has never been set in stone, I fell into that but only ever wanted to send letters out when I had something to say.
I should (hopefully) have things ready to go again for next week.
# When not writing blog posts I've been using Simplenote as my basic day-to-day app for normal notes and lists, a decision that was made because it is cross platform. There is even a version for Wear OS although I've been having a problem with it not downloading.
Simplenote does pretty much what you would expect a notes app to do in this day and age, it even supports Markdown and posting to WordPress, but it sometimes feels a bit clunky and unfinished. For example, you can make a list of items with check boxes but there isn't an option for checked items to drop to the bottom of the list.
That may seem like a stupid complaint but I want to start using lists on ny watch when I go shopping and having checked items drop off is a handy feature on such a small screen.
Wear OS being a Google property I thought I would take a look at Keep Notes, I've not even given it a second thought recently as used to dislike it with a passion when it was first released. To my surprise and delight Keep has been given a major overhaul since those early days and is now a much better looking app with a lot cleaner interface. And yes, checked items drop to the bottom of a list even on the watch.
I think I'm sold.
I am a big Simplenote user. I have been for years. But Obsidian is pulling me more and more. I've moved some of my more rich notes into it - mostly around photography and gardening. But it hasn't stuck for the quick notes that I jot down during meetings and it isn't available on my phone (yet?).
The biggest plus about Obsidian over Simplenote is that it saves actual files to your hard drive. I wish Simplenote still did - as it did in the past.
For now though, I'm still using Simplenote at least 10 times a day and then move things to Obsidian if they take some sort of shape or form.
I've just recently installed Obsidian and it looks great, not really used it in anger yet but have some thoughts as to what I will use it for.
# I'm happy to report that Google Keep is working out nicely on the watch. The Fossil Wellness app, however, has stopped syncing sleep tracking data to Google Fit so I'm going to have to take a look at that.
