Two spaces, one rule
A public clue and a private detail look alike until they leak into the same note. Keep them in separate spaces so one never drags the other along.
Public research
- Public product links and category names.
- Non-sensitive check questions.
- Observations about a public page.
Private folio
- Account credentials and payment details.
- Full addresses and private orders.
- Support conversations and identity-related information.
public stays public · private stays private
?Open item: has any private detail slipped into a public note?
A worked split
- Public: the link and category go into the research note.
- Private: the login and address stay in the account.
- Result: sharing the note shares only the public side.
