Creating a new gist on my phone. I've just added a gist icon to the phone home page. Speaking and writing and capturing and gathering my thoughts. All in a public manner that can be shared and revisions viewed. Cool!
Now I am editing this note for a second time. I'm just wondering how easy it is to create a note, save it and then come back to it later. It seems quite easy. One issue is that you have to do this in the desktop version. And so on a phone in portrait mode the text is totally tiny and unreadable. Again, this is perhaps another reason for creating an Ace-based editor until such time as GitHub come up with a mobile version of their gist editor.
So this is no easier than editing an Evernote note. But the difference is this is a gist and can be read by anybody. It's the equivalent of a blog post - For Better or Worse. Whereas Evernote data is locked down into the hard disk and private.
