Scalability Limits for Note taking Applications

Let us assume we take 20 notes per day all together - journal, snippets, bookmarks and all.

  • In a year, 7500 is a good approximation.
  • In 10 years, that becomes 75K.
  • Let us give it a comfortable blanket of 33% and we get a rounded number of 100K.

In 10 years I hope to see significant upgrades in hardwares and softwares. So these are my arbitrary limits which I consider reasonable - I should be able to use my existing laptop to manage a personal knowledge base of 100K notes for the next 10 years.
