Oh wow, dude, that’s actually really cool! Blimey, I hadn’t realised it could do that. It’s a lot more expensive than InfoRecall, mind… (sorry, that’s just the whining of an inveterate CRIMPer who’s just had to handcuff his hand to his chair so he can’t reach his credit card and buy Outline4D immediately…). That’s really quite mind-boggling. Thanks ever so for the screenshots - I shall have to think about this. I know, I shall check out the search function to start with - that’s always a sine qua non for me.
As for the idea of using BrainStorm - I confess, Alexander, that hadn’t occurred to me, but it’s a clever approach. It’s not a program that appeals to me, for various entirely personal reasons, but (perhaps as a result) I haven’t really had a good root round in it. Goodness, so much to play with… ;-)
In the meantime it’s been quite fun to rediscover InfoRecall, which was one of the first and earliest of the super-information-managers.

Steve, I’m frightfully excited by ProjectBook, especially once it starts to invade the desktop. It’s much the most imaginative bit of software I’ve seen for a while, and may (once desktop versions are available) even replace my favourite iPad/Windows information transfer system Notebooks (which is capable of handling huge amounts of information and has a perfectly amazing search engine - currently on the iPad only, unfortunately).
If you visit the ProjectBook Facebook page, you’ll find lots of frustrated Europeans whingeing that it hasn’t been launched in Europe yet… Actually, I can’t believe the rude remarks: you’d think people were personally insulted that the programmers had this amazing idea and haven’t IMMEDIATELY made it available to them. Sad or wot? It’s an aspect of our “instant gratification” culture I simply don’t understand.
Besides, as a sad CRIMPer, I now have something to look forward to! Meanwhile I must just check out this TaskUnifier thingy that Alexander was muttering about - open source, eh?

There is not much to the search function in O4D, I’m afraid. Just the usual find/replace previous/next stuff. It only searches per doc, not across multiple docs. In the end it’s just an outliner/writing software, not a PIM (though with some very unique features). I plan to write a blog post about it one day.

Open source—with the exception of the synchronisation features; but you are able to try out these for a limited time. And I’ve found that the Toodledo plugin is more than worth the $12 charge.

I’m quite impressed by its continued development http://www.phantech.com/New.html
BTW, after the $5 promotion, the price is back to a more ‘reasonable’ $30.
