I thought this was going to be just a standalone version of Journal and Notes combined from outlook.... Boy, was I ever wrong. I think this is going to be a constantly open, indispensible tool for me. I have
this great little capture tool that I can use to snap portions of my app at runtime (or error dialogs...), add a snippet of my code, make some highlights and annotations, then spit the whole thing out as an html based document on how and exactly why I fixed an error in the code... Absolutely brilliant. I really am getting impatient for a Tablet PC now, however, I have been using this as a brain dump for coding notes and WOW, am i ever impressed. I can drag and drop code snippets, add pictures and diagrams, insert links to web articles about techniques in the function, etc, then dump the note to a single page Web file that I can us for sharing my notes with collegues or to add into my source directory for documentation. I can have notes for all my different programs seperated and searchable, but always avalable. This is probably the most impressive piece of software I have seen in a long time. I would love to see the ability to extend this a little bit but I really don't want to see it get bloated out of proportion to what it does like Outlook has become. With a little imagination this tool can really improve your ability to communicate your coding with other people. Now if I could just create blog entries from a note page my blogging would really explode. Maybe that is something we can program as an extension, I wonder if there will be an SDK released for this...
