I’m very pleased to see Clibu get to this stage. It looks like a simple app, but that hides a lot of complexity. For example real hierarchical tags, and all users are updated in real time so you never need to synchronize data.

Yes it is entirely Browser or Web app. What are you wanting from a Windows Desktop app that you don’t see us being able to do in a Web app?

Not at this time. You can however paste images from the Clipboard into Clibu articles. So you could use an app or possibly a Browser Extension that took screen shots and then copy & paste those.

This is an area that I’m not happy with and definitely needs to be addressed. Would you see this “minimalist” view replacing the current ‘Collapsed’ articles view or being separate?

Hi Daly,
I forget to actually Reply to your post, so you may not have seen my post asking you about Clibu. If/when you have time, your reply would be helpful.

1) Being able to work off-line; 2) having a complete local back-up of the data, in case failure in the cloud; 3) hopefully faster search, or even extra features not available or possible in a web app.

The current view is still useful. I was thinking of an additional option.

A couple of things:
First, I have been using Onenote for some time-first on a PC running XP. I was running Onenote 2010 at that point at the end, but I had started with Onenote 2003. I really liked the program, and used it for a variety of things; web clipping, snippet keeping from documents, and organizing projects. I didn’t have a standard way of doing that, but I would set up a new notebook for a project and then keep things related to that project in that notebook. It worked great for that. After moving to the Mac, I cast about for another piece of software that would do the same things that Onenote could do. There were some things that had ways of doing the saving of information, but nothing that gave me the ability to organize the same way that Onenote did. Evernote was close, but I never really took to Evernote. For awhile I have been using Notesuite to clip stuff from the web. I have both the Mac version and the iOS versions so I can get these notes synced across machines. I use Devonthink for big projects, though it takes a bit more planning than Onenote did. And, I once again have Onenote available on my Mac. (You can probably tell that I have a bad case of CRIMPing.)Now with so many choices, I need to sort out which one to use and stick with.
Second, speaking of CRIMPing-I am giving Clibu a try. I never used Surfulator, but I am always willing to give new software a try.

Bill, you were actually right the first time. I was asking how you’d set it up in OneNote. And I appreciate your response. If possible I’d like to see what it looks like i ON if you can offer screen shots.
