CintaNotes out of beta

That’s kind of an interesting idea.

When you’re not officially working on something, but you come across a related snippet, throw it into a miscellaneous buffer of snippets tagged by category, instead of just dumping those directly into your chron tapes.

And then drain that buffer when you get enough to create a scratch file.

That could solve some of the residual fragmentation of the chron tapes, and further reduce the need for massive sorting sessions of chron tapes in BrainStormWFO. Instead, proper scratch files would get formed and uploaded to the Longform Loop.

Yes it creates another layer of info fragmentation - things don’t necessarily immediately go into your chron tapes, they may be waiting in the misc snippet buffer queue. But you can probably remember where stuff is likely to be, especially if you drain the buffer regularly.

Yeah, I think I’m going to endorse that as part of the Cyborganize workflow.

Now I just need a Cintanotes substitute that runs on Linux, or to get it running under Wine.
