What is Agenda REALLY for?

For me, what I like about Agenda is the date-centric approach — being able to put notes into focus on the Agenda. Really, though, you could do that with something like Bear by having an #Agenda tag, so it needs to offer a little more than that… like being able to order by date, so it offers a hint of organizer/productivity software on top of simple note-taking.

As I just mentioned in this other Talk thread, my plan is to write up an article on how Agenda came about from some workflows that kind of grew over time. Initially as I was managing a team within a corporate environment, but slowly for more and more use cases as I found the date centric approach so useful. What I’ll also show is that indeed, it all grew from using a few simple structures (a next tag instead of #Agenda in fact) in a barebones note taking app (Simplenote, not Bear actually). So not fare from the truth at all. It’s also why we want to keep things simple and focused.
