-My Notes was a small Android note organiser and editor built on top of Markwon.
+In November 2019 I wrote my own notes app for Android, used it daily for a while, and then it lost a long battle with Obsidian. The loss was the lesson: I learned what I actually wanted from a notes app by watching mine fail to be it. Years later that same itch is why I wrote [reconcile-text](/articles/reconcile-text-3-way-merge/); by then I was editing the same notes in Vim, VS Code, and Obsidian, and nothing existed to merge three independently-edited copies back into one.
 
-It let me create Markdown notes and filter them by hashtag. It was also my first exposure to Android development.

-The idea was not new, but the app worked, and the platform was different enough from the full-stack web work I had been doing that the project was worth finishing.
+The app itself was small: Markdown notes, hashtag filtering, Markwon for rendering. Every developer writes their own notes app eventually and the bar for shipping one isn't high. What I actually wanted was a few weeks outside the web stack, somewhere with different conventions about lifecycle, storage, and resource constraints. Android delivered that. I'd still recommend "write a small thing on a new platform" as a way to recalibrate what you take for granted.
