I want to use digital notebooks, but they're not for me

Description

There's a whole sector of the tech industry that's strangely romanticized in 2025. By that, I mean it waxes nostalgic for a pre-internet or even pre-digital era, but refuses to actually jettison modern technology. Think, for instance, of "hybrid" smartwatches equipped with analog watchfaces, or smartphones that intentionally limit you to a handful of apps. You sacrifice some of the convenience of, say, an Apple Watch or a Pixel phone, but in return you gain a little extra style, or a life free of social media services like TikTok and X. Essentially, they sell us on the notion that life was better in the 1990s or early 2000s.
