Using WordPress As My Note Taking Tool

So this past Sunday, in a continued effort to find my replacement note taking tool for Evernote, I decided to give my blog a try as a not taking tool. I have the Android app on my phone and tablet so that step made things fairly easy. For the most part things went very well, except I still don’t like the lack of Post Format editing support in the mobile app. I still had to switch over to the web to refine my final note the way I liked it to be.

Did some Googling to see what other people’s experiences have been with trying this. Might have to give some of their suggestions a try as well.

Taking Notes in WordPress

Use WordPress as an Evernote replacement

I think I’m going to continue to give it a go for awhile. I’m still trying to decide how I should organize things and what might be private versus public. We’ll see what happens.

    WordPress Development On A Chromebook, Termux, & Neovim

    ByTim Nolte Updated on
    So about 6 months ago I decided to make some changes to my personal development environment. I’ve been using a Chromebook as my primary machine since about 2013. I first purchased an Acer C710 for my wife to use but compared to our Macbook Pro it was a frustrating and subpar experience for her, not to mention she was a heavy Adobe Suite user. Since sharing the Macbook Pro was challenging I set out to use the Chromebook as me development machine. Originally I went with the crouton option. It was pretty sweet to have a full Linux environment alongside Chrome OS. I was then running a full LAMP environment with PhpStorm as my IDE. This worked OK, I had performance and stability issues at…
