Memo on the Positioning of Production Tools
Summary
When it comes to personal updates and press releases, Facebook is a good platform. Instagram is great for sharing daily life moments and beautiful scenery. Twitter is a place to ask questions and share thoughts, both in terms of knowledge and wisdom. Scrapbox is a useful tool for note-taking and organizing thoughts, while note serves as a platform for discussions and sharing consolidated ideas. Raindrop is a bookmarking service that allows for tagging and categorizing, making it a good tool for collecting web resources.
Assumptions
The tools should be easy to manage and preferably free. Sharing capabilities are important, but it's crucial to avoid misunderstandings in the context. There are two types of information: "stock" and "flow." Twitter, for example, is more focused on short flow-like content, while Facebook can be used for personal press releases. Note can serve as both stock and flow, depending on the purpose. Instagram is more suitable for visual content and may not be ideal for input.
Bad guy
The idea of personal management can be challenging and time-consuming.
Notion is an excellent tool for team documentation, but may not be suitable for personal brainstorming. It can be used for images and text, but when spreadsheets are involved, it may not be the best option. It is more geared towards project management and offers customizable sharing options. However, it lacks the social aspect and may not be ideal for personal use.
Google Drive
Many companies and organizations use Gsuite, making Google Drive a commonly used tool. It is a basic tool, but may feel lacking in terms of external sharing and customization options.
Github
Github is great for version control, but may be challenging for non-engineers. Improving the user interface, especially in Japanese, could make it more accessible. It offers features like issue tracking and pull requests.
Airtable
Airtable is often used for organizing resources and has a strong impression when it comes to public sharing.
Scrapbox
Scrapbox is a convenient tool for capturing and organizing thoughts. It can be seen as a more advanced version of intellectual production techniques, as mentioned in the Reasons for Starting Scrapbox and the Limit of Folder Organization. However, it may not be the best platform for public sharing, although drafts can be made public. Raindrop
Raindrop is like a shared bookmarking service. It allows for tagging and categorizing, but can become overwhelming to manage. It is much better than Chrome bookmarks and can be imported. It lacks context on its own, so it's recommended to write main articles and attach them as consolidated resources. It is a great tool for collecting web resources.
