Top 5 Capacities features for writers
It’s no secret that I am obsessed with Capacities*. It has become the hub of pretty much my entire online and digital life, and I use it all day, every day. It’s one of the most well-designed apps I have ever used, it’s a joy to use, and I cannot recommend it enough. I have written extensively about my various uses for Capacities, and I have also written about how it has become my research hub for my creative writing projects. In this article, I’m going to outline my five most-used features of Capacities for writing. The focus of this article is creative writing, which is what I spend most of my time doing, but you could translate these to writing of any form; articles, essays, papers etc.
Graph view
Some might think that graph views in networked note-taking apps are a nice gimmick, and not very useful. I politely disagree. The graph view is the heart of a networked note-taking system.
Not only do you get to see the structure and the flow of your notes in a completely different way (this is useful for understanding how your notes are connected, spotting notes that could use more links, or spotting notes that potentially don’t need links) but is also powerful for rediscovery.
