Why Capacities will become offline-first We recently committed to transforming Capacities into an offline-first application. This was a big step, and here's why. Offline-first for us means that you can work with Capacities on your device without access to the internet. We decided to prioritize this for two reasons: First, nobody likes loading spinners. We want the tools we use to work at the speed of our thoughts. Waiting interrupts our flow and our focus, and that’s unacceptable for us. Second, thousands of people rely on Capacities to get critical work done every day. Technology should never stop you from doing that. You can already use Capacities without an internet connection today, but not all features are available. We’re gradually introducing more offline support over time. If you’re interested, you can read about our roadmap here: https://docs.capacities.io/misc/offline-support.

I just wrote an article about how we are developing Capacities into a cross-platform app for web, desktop, tablet, and mobile.

️ This used to require many developers and often even separate dev teams for each platform – now it's possible for very small teams. I also explain our approach and trade-offs for each platform based on core use-cases and strengths.

Anna wrote an amazing article about really using the notes you take, check it out!

https://capacities.io/tutorials/process-reading-notes

How to Actually Use the Notes You Take

We have all been there: reading a book or an article, watching a YouTube video, only to find that a few weeks or months later, we can’t remember if and why it resonated with us, and we’re left wondering, “What was it about again?”
