The web browser as a tool of thought

Very interesting take, but there are similar tools to aid thoughts, memory, and organization.<p>&gt;&gt; One of my big takeaways from using Monocle on a daily basis for the last week has been that no single app can be my second brain.<p>Org-mode for Emacs fulfills this role for many people:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;orgmode.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;orgmode.org&#x2F;</a><p>Of course, this assumes you are using Emacs as the user interface instead of a web browser.<p>&gt;&gt; If we want to build a software system that can organize information across apps, what better place to start than the one piece of software that has access to it all, where most of us live and work nearly all the time?<p>Maybe Emacs? (I use vim, but two developers I work with are emacs &#x2F; org-mode users and they use it for everything to include staying super organized.)
