Hi there, and welcome to the official Forever ✱ Notes community! 🎉 I'm so glad you’re here. This is a space for productivity enthusiasts like you to share...

gsf

French living between France and Vienna (I also saw the Erwin Wurm exhibition 😉)
Long-time user of note-taking apps (Evernote, iAWriter, Ulysses).
Obisidian most recently, but which I ultimately use mainly for long and long-term writing projects.
So I want to use Apple Notes for the notes themselves.
It's an app I always enjoy using because it's "easy." A good balance between ease of use and efficiency.
I discovered this forum after recently discovering the Forever Notes workflow a few days ago.
Thank you for developing such a beautiful workflow!

Matthias

gsf Great to have you here!

It seems to me that the font in the forum has changed since about yesterday. For me / on my devices this is not for the better. It is somehow smaller and more delicate and therefore harder to read. Also, the ‘heavy asterisk’ that used to be so characteristic is now just a ‘shadow of its former self’ on the forum homepage. Sensitive characteristics of a forum, which is why I wonder if that is intended or no, @Matthias?

Btw, these new profile tags, is there any info / FAQ on this? What triggers it to be e.g. a "trusted member" and or what has one to do for it?

Matthias

tr4jan I did some tweaks on the theme of the forum. Could you share a screenshot please? I don't seem to have this issue.

Also, the "Trusted Member" badge was an accidental release. You shouldn't see them anymore. Sorry about that!

Thanks for being an active member of the forum and letting me know about this!

An issue with Safari (see attachment) as I have just discovered. Apart from the fact that the font generally looks different, the heavy asterisk is particularly noticeable. I have not changed anything on Safari prior. Deleting the cache did not do the trick thus far . I'll have to investigate that in the next few days I presume.

Hi, my name is satemorej (Jerome in real life). I am from France and have my own business as a woodworker. I previously was engineer in electronics and software for digital TV.
I have just discovered Forever*Notes while using tools like Bear, Todoist and Notion for years now and having tested many apps.

I am convinced that Forever*Notes concepts will be very useful to me. I have already learnt a lot from shortcuts in this forum. For the moment, I face with a great misunderstanding about how to style elements in Notes thanks to shortcuts.

Kind regards

Matthias

satemorej Welcome Jerome! Do you need help with structuring notes in general or are you unsure about signifiers?

satemorej

Matthias hi, I came to F*N through your YouTube channel while randomly grabbing information about note taking systems. Great job ! Native and free tools collaborating from iPhone to iPad and MacBook is the main point !

Signifiers seem to be clear in my mind, structuring notes should be fine as well. As a basic user of iOS shortcuts and notes, I spent a lot of time trying again and again to achieve the right shortcut behavior. I above all fail to find user guides from apple.

Regards

I'm Kevin - I seem to have found F*N early and started working on how to apply it slowly. The biggest and most beneficial has been in my Masters of Divinity studies. I started what will be a 5+ year (90ish credit) journey in January and wanted a way to link the writing and course content in a way that was dynamic and flexible. This has more than fit the bill and let me focus on what I needed to while knowing that I could flow though related information quickly and without breaking that flow state.

Thanks Matthias for the fantastic framework!

Hi Kevin,

How are you linking your study notes, writing etc within F✱N? I’m still lokking for a system to integrate my study notes and keep an overview at the same time.

Hi.

I’m a long-time Apple Notes user, using Tiago Forte’s PARA method. My space has become cluttered and bloated (totally my own fault) so I thought while I declutter and tag, I’d see how things look using Forever Notes.

I haven’t quite got my head around it yet, the start in particular. I’ve created the Home page, but don’t know whether it should be part of a dedicated ‘Forever Notes’ folder, or whether that’s unnecessary?

Looking forward to the journey anyway. :-)

Procrastinate_B

Interesting. Some people here have gained experience with PARA. I can warmly recommend first taking a look at the general overview( LINK) and maybe the YouTube videos as well. The FAQ for example, also deal directly with the folder question. So, no, no dedicated "Forever Notes" folder intended. :-)

Procrastinate_B

tr4jan Thank you. I read one review that did just that, and it threw me a bit because there was no mention in the ‘official’ set-up on here.

I’ll watch the full YouTube vid shortly. :-)

tr4jan

Procrastinate_B

Yes, of course everyone customises something for themselves (I don't use tags or the journal, for example). There are several videos imho - but yes, feel free to orientate yourself. Recommendation: Build a quasi-empty dummy system first and test whether you can cope with F✱ N - instead of switching directly...
