There is a lot we can say about notes, and there are countless successful products on the market.
As a basic tool for knowledge storage, we have also learned about the methodology behind notes.
Why are Elisi’s notes so simple?
Compared to graphic & mind map style knowledge organization, Elisi is more of a place for you to store your flash ideas, supplemented by the structured function of subnotes, so that you can do a preliminary storage of the knowledge points you recorded quickly. As for more in-depth personal knowledge base organization, we suggest you use the double-linked notes that are currently popular on the market.
The template feature is helpful for those who like to review in the form of small essays.
For further organization, such as building your own knowledge base, we recommend using Elisi with a large screen and with other cloud documents to output the final version of your notes you want.
We can guarantee :
- Elisi’s notes are permanently stored and will not get lost
- The structure of notes has unlimited levels and can connect lists with targets
- Notes features will continue to be updated for better use, such as adding Markdown as standard.
