TreeNote (distinct from "TreeNotes"): "An intuitive outliner for personal knowledge and task management.
www.treenote.de
(Windows only for now, although there is mention of compiling from source for other platforms.)
I have note tested yet, but it looks interesting. German readers might want to check out the link to the developer's thesis, "Wissens- und Selbstmanagement"

Should be, "I have *not* tested yet" --- sorry!

Installing on a Mac from source is much easier than previously described on the Treenote webpage: http://www.treenote.de/installation/
This requires a working installation of homebrew, the package manager for OS X
Steps 2,3 and 4 are commands in the Terminal.
1) clone or download the git repository
2) brew install pyqt5
this step will install python3 and most other dependencies automatically
3) This step is still missing from the webpage:
brew install couchdb
If you do not execute this command, you cannot run TreeNote on your Mac.
4) pip3 install couchdb requests
optional 5) write a shell script, save it somewhere in your systems path and make it executable. Mine looks like this
python3 ~/Documents/TreeNote/treenote.py
and it is saved using the *.command extension, so it will run (rather than be opened in a text editor) when clicked.
I have only briefly dabbled with it so far but it should be of interest to some people on this forum.

Addendum to the above post:
You need to run Couchdb once before it can be invoked by the script apparently.
So add step 3a (ahem) and type this in the terminal:
couchdb
That should do it, sorry for the oversight.

Wow, this shows a lot of promise. It does, however, still need a lot of work. The apparent lack of hoisting makes this much less usable for me.
But it does have a function for "Filing" an item, something I think is severely lacking from Workflowy, Dynalist et al. I also love that although it runs in a Vim-style modal editing mode, it uses the WASD keys for movement.

But I do wish the "File" function worked more like Org-Mode with Helm installed, in that you get a menu of targets to file to rather than having to type it in manually. A proper "Mark and Gather" function would be swell, too.

Website appears to be gone. I was looking at it yesterday but today it says the domain is for sale.

Wayne, that's only true for the treenote.de site.
http://treenote.github.io is alive and kicking.

Thanks, Franz. I'll check it out.

This looks brilliant! I will install it for testing!
I've been searching for a full-featured cross platform note-taking app. I formerly loved Keepnote, but development on it stalled for years. CherryTree is quite good, but the interface seems quite poor compared to Keepnote- perhaps its just my personal bias.
MyNotex is a contender which I'm testing now.
Laverna is quite interesting, but I can't see the benefit of markup language other than to force me to memorize a bunch of codes that should be automated anyway. It also does not allow attachment of files.
The one feature I want: the ability to clip sections of webpages and insert them into the PIM with formatting more-or-less intact and have the URL inserted automatically.
So far, I've not found it on a cross-platform app. Even the Linux version of MyBase does not seem to have this function now.

Looks like an impressive start. But I wasn't able to really figure out how to add new nodes or text.
Will you include a web-clipping function that will allow users to paste in formatted text?
Also, the tagging system appears to support hierarchical tagging. Could you design the system so that users could import/export a hierarchical tagging system like a controlled vocabulary.
The best system I have seen for hierarchical tagging is in the document management program IMatch 5

That Github page is gone. There's another Treenote at github at
https://github.com/TreeNote/TreeNote
but I don't know if it's the same project. Also, I came across this blog post
https://ma.juii.net/blog/software-for-collaboration
which mentioned a Treenote app located at Treenote.org that was supposed to be like an offline version of Workflowy/Dynalist, but the site is password-protected.

Thanks for noting that. I just checked, and the new Github page you noted is indeed the same project -- I believe Jan Korte is the main developer in both cases. But note that he indicates on the new Github page that there will be no further development of Treenote, as he is now doing "a startup, which works on the successor of TreeNote".
