jackcheng··on Show HN: Bebop – an iOS app for capturing notes as iCloud-synced txt/md files
It’s good to hear about your workflow, and I agree about the widget too. It’s on the roadmap!

A few friends threw this together today. Right now it's pulling in info from the following sources:

jackcheng··on iRobot Develops a Hyperelastic Morphing Robot
Reminds me of the work of Japanese artist Mio I-zawa, who makes things like "mechanical tumors" that grow in size based on your CPU load:

jackcheng··on Design notebook suggestions?
The Behance dot grid books are great for layout sketches: http://www.creativesoutfitter.com/

Konigi graph paper looks decent for wireframing: http://konigi.com/tools/overview

As do Whiteline books (you can buy them off Amazon): http://www.whitelines.se/en/

I personally use and recommend Muji recycled ring notebooks. They're relatively cheap and excellent for quick sketches/journaling: http://www.muji.us/store/stationery/note/recycled-paper-note...

For me, anything that'll let me get my ideas on paper as quickly and effortlessly as possible is the way to go. As long as the notebook doesn't get in the way, it's perfect.
