What Makes "Good" Content?

As someone who's spent a lot of time in both content creation tools and educational content, this is a question I get asked all the time.

It's one of those questions that's neither simple nor complicated.

The trickiest part is that "good" doesn't have a universal answer. "Good" is super subjective. What one person thinks is great, another might find too basic, too difficult, or just plain boring. And honestly, people's judgment about content gets swayed by all sorts of things their environment, social circles, even current trends.

The Evolving Landscape of Note-Taking Tools

We can really think of note-taking tools as content creation platforms. Broadly speaking, they actually fall into the same big category as video and audio editing software they're all about helping people create stuff. The main difference is that text is way more flexible and has a lower barrier to entry compared to audio or video. That's why note-taking tools are also better at helping us retain knowledge and express ourselves, and they can even double as knowledge management solutions.

Honestly, no matter what kind of content you're creating or what platform and tools you're using to produce and publish it, the underlying creative process pretty much stays the same. It goes from topic selection, information gathering, and idea formation, to the actual production and finally publishing. These steps make up the core content creation workflow. If we were to map these steps out in a table, you'd clearly see where different types of tools come into play.

Hi, team. I've tried Recap and I have to say it's a brilliant idea! There is an issue when I use it to understand a PDF of my product. It seems like cannot understand the pic in a doc very well, right? Will it be supported in the future?
