Quick Start

This guide walks you through the core MoreInfo workflow in five minutes.

The Loop

MoreInfo would like you to get used to being in this loop: write, link, track, reflect. MI is built with this loop in mind, and has many tools to help you stay in the flow to create new knowledge while helping you track the things that need to be done and the things you already know. Based on the idea that nothing is real until it is written down, MI encourages you to leave the app open and return to it multiple times per day, whether it is to jot something down quickly, do some back-of-the-napkin math, take full-on meeting notes, plan some tasks for further completion, or just to surface something from your knowledge base that has become relevant again.

Create Your First Note: The Daily Journal

MoreInfo opens to a dedicated page for today's Journal. This is designed to be kept open and for you to write into it as you go about your day. Document your wins and losses. Make a note of a clever fix you found. Add tasks to do later right inline with your daily documentation. Make notes about and for meetings.

Link to Another Note

Type [[ anywhere in your note. An autocomplete popup will appear showing your existing notes. Start typing a name to filter, then press Enter to insert the link:

See also [[Project Roadmap]] for context.

If Project Roadmap doesn't exist yet, MoreInfo creates a stub page for it automatically. Click through to fill it in later — the link is already live.

Create a Task

Type [ ] followed by your task text:

[ ] Send follow-up email

[ ] Review the roadmap draft

Tasks are tracked across your entire datastore. Open the Tasks widget in the sidebar to see all incomplete tasks aggregated from every note.

Add an Annotation

Annotations are in-text signals that don't require a checkbox. Just type one of the four keywords anywhere in your note. Everything after that is saved as an annotation:

As this matures and solidifies, we're going to want to build it around 
docker rather than our test VMs. IDEA automate the new testing, 
building a container as it goes. A good test for our new junior engineer.

MoreInfo highlights them inline and collects them in the Annotations widget.
