How do you currently document ideas you come up with?

Question

Hi, I'm Tobi. I started working on a side-project and honestly don't know if other people would find it useful. Do you use notion? or a note-taking app to document your ideas or none at all.

I do most of my note-taking with physical paper and pencil/pen. I haven't been able to make any phone/tablet/computer-based note-taking method work for me.I use a self-hosted wiki to keep records of more formal things, such as project dev documentation, lists of project ideas, etc.

I write them in a text file, if it's software that text file becomes a readme over iterations and development. For stuff that isn't software I just keep a directory of text notes.

Work is the hard part of working on ideas. I document my ideas through the work I do on them. Writing them down is a waste of time. I have more ideas than time for work already.
If you want to make stuff, make stuff. Don't worry about it being useful. Not knowing is a good reason to make something. The next thing you make will benefit from what you learn. From the experience.
Ideas that you aren't motivated to work on, aren't worth having. Taking notes isn't starting. Good luck.
