I did not take to Notion when I first looked at it, but I suspect I might warm up to it if I looked again. It just required too much work for what I wanted. Walling did progress, but it also had a number of issues that needed attention that never got addressed. But it did have great customer service, and I appreciated that. I initially looked at Milanote and xTiles at the time, and am looking at them again. Milanote seems like it could replace Walling, and it seems to be a bit more stable, but it also has a horrible mobile app like Walling. I suspect these types of programs do not take well to cell phones with their smaller screens, so that may be my compromise. I still need to revisit xTiles in more depth before making any decisions. Or, hopefully, the new owner of Walling could release a road map to let the user base know what is happening.

I’m curious about why Capacities doesn’t seem to come up much in these conversations. For me it’s a nonstarter until it has better importing, but it does seem like a pretty robust program.

We’re talking about apps that have cards on a board, or something akin to that. Capacities does not have that kind of interface.
