Aquaminds Notetaker
12/6/2018
I wouldn't consider DEVONthink or Keep It as "competition" for Aquaminds Notetaker. Notetaker is pretty much a digital representation of a paper notebook. Storing more than a few documents, or a h...

Good news. I would welcome a return of Aquaminds Notetaker.

Thank you for your frank and thoughtful post, Beck.
It resonates with me in light of a few other comments, above, which I interpreted as fretting "ugh, do I have to make a note about everything I rea...
That's the gist of the problem, isn't it. Is there a method of note taking that is objectively, measurably, and universally effective? Something we should strive to learn and adopt. I don't see ho...
I generally have an aversion to the modern preoccupation with "productivity" or "workflow", which seems to be a recurrent topic in many forums. Coming from a manufacturing and service company backgr...

Check Fletcher Penny's repo on GitHub. There’s an old OPML QL gen there. Makes me think the one I have was installed a long time ago by MMD Composer.

It does. Not very well though. I suppose some app installed the QL generator for .opml or maybe .xml (they are related). It wasn’t something I installed myself.

It looks like Notebooks on macOS is using whatever QuickLook generator is installed for displaying .oo3 or .ooutline or .opml files -- Notebooks is showing the same preview as Finder. The .opml ...

Thank you for this, Dr Andus!

@Dellu, true. Would that QDA software were in reach. The cost is too great for non-institutional users, I'm afraid.
I believe Tench said (?) that the repetitive transfer and consolidation of n...
A series of video tutorials was recent published illustrating the zettelkasten & Tinderbox methods used by PhD candidate Beck Tench in her literature review. I found the tutorials were very engaging...
Quiver 3.2
11/28/2018
Thanks for the update Steve. Yes, Quiver re-appeared in the Mac App Store. It's good to see it getting attention after a long dry spell. I like the combination of "cell types" in the same documen...

As of today, Quiver is now completely gone from the U.S. Mac App Store -- links to the App Store from happenapps.com say "not available in this territory". Hope this is temporary.

SheetPlanner 1.0 Availability
11/26/2018
Ugh, wish I'd checked here first. The in-app purchase routine causes macOS to hang -- need to reboot to get out of the loop.

That's an interesting question. Notebooks and Keep It both keep your files, in their original formats, in external folders freely accessible in the file system. Notebooks doesn't create any special...

Yaogang Lian's tweet stream says he's working on Quiver full time and 3.2 should be available soon. Looks like maybe something got hosed in posting the update to the Mac AppStore. That happens somet...

I'm with Dr. Andus and Steve Z on this. It is extremely difficult for a sole-practitioner developer to create and maintain a robust application over the long term. When we buy apps made by a single...

Thank you for your thoughtful post, Bill.
I recently cancelled my Keep It subscription and removed it from my iOS devices since I just wasn't using the sync feature. I already sync docs with DEVONt...

Document Management - a bit OT

I'm not sure what "smaller" means, but for "less complicated" you might want to check out Keep It.

Not to worry, Pierre. As always, you're generous and helpful. Thanks for the free offer. Not presumptuous at all!

Trunk Notes personal wiki closes up shop
11/14/2018
I agree with @Prion's assessment. A wiki should be cross-platform and easily accessed. That said, I think the developer's view that not many people are interested in this sort of software is proba...

The developer of Trunk Notes (and Beorg) announced the product’s development has ceased.

I agree with this. OPML is hardly a robust format -- the "canonical" definition posted by Weiner years ago doesn't cover what most developers since that time have done with OPML. That's neither he...
