Today I’m trying TK, the note-taking and journaling web app from Medium.

On the surface it looks like any other notes app. Technically they look like to be just a text area for writing. But the real difference is the mindset it encourages. Some note-taking apps are designed for capturing finished thoughts or complete pieces.

TK, on the other hand, is built for half-baked ideas. It deliberately invites you to leave incomplete drafts there so they can sit and slowly develop. That’s what I appreciate most about it. TK feels like a place for fermenting words. To me it is like brewing wine. You put something unfinished inside, walk away, and come back later to find it has matured a little. Coming back to write again is like checking on the fermentation. That’s what I like about TK so far.
