Nah, Chromebook. Half-a-dozen TiddlyWikis. All on Google Drive and accessed with TiddlyDrive. I don't really want to have all of them open all day for whenever I might have a thought.
I much prefer throw notes in quickly loaded small/distraction-free apps, so it is just a quick trip to the computer while I put chores/whatever on hold for just a second. Later when I can sit down, I can do the TiddlyWiki work. Skrifa <https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/skrifa-chrome/pfdkhjakblfafmapniifbpkjblgolipd?hl=en> seems like the right tool for the job for quick-note taking, when I want a little formatting to quickly organize more complicated notes. Otherwise Google Keep or Gmail or Google Calendar for short/simple text notes. The Skrifa notes, the HTML for them can be copied into TiddlyWiki as-is. Not as convenient as having a "TidEdit" app, but it is quick and TW handles the HTML natively (i.e. don't need a plugin like I would if I was pasting markdown text into my tiddlers.)
