Ha, I’d forgotten about Papyrus Autor! I’ve been nagging the developers to produce an English version for many years. I see they’re still valiantly trying to get something English out by the end of this year.
It’s an amazing program. More info (for English readers) here: http://www.rom-logicware.com
German readers can download trials etc. here: https://www.papyrus.de
Cheers,
Bill

Philip Dow is an inspired developer, except that he seems unable to follow through on the promise of his apps. I wrote a review of a little notebook app he developed post Journler called Per Se. You can find it here if you’re interested:

I don’t believe Per Se was updated again after I wrote that review. So I wouldn’t hold my breath awaiting South Lake… though I hope I’m wrong. Sounds like a worthwhile project.

What I found especially weird is that he intends to have a truly cross-platform product and then writes the first version in Swift? That crazy. Something like Electron (Atom Shell) would make a lot more sense.
But the biggest problem is that there is not much money to be made as a indie developer. Most people want free software and are not willing to pay (or donate in the case of free software).
However, I recently commited to a combination of Zotero, Notezilla, SublimeText and ConnectedText, so I’m out of the game anyway (I hope).

It’s a bit off topic, but would you mind sharing how you’re combining those? Did you manage to make them integrate or interact somehow or are you just combining them in a workflow?

Just combining them. ConnectedText is the core as the Knowledge Base, Notezilla for quick notes and project management, Zotero and SublimeText are really interchangeable, though. I’m not set on them, I might be going with Writemonkey and some other reference manager. And I forgot to mention Anki for knowledge that I try to remember (keep in my brain instead of ConnectedText.
I try not to link anything between the programs so the workflow doesn’t break. And I think it would be mostly clutter, for example to link between a note in CT and a position in a PDF. I just want to get the information in CT and then never look at the source again.
So I guess you are disappointed now, I can’t code, so I wouldn’t know how to integrate them. But I probably wouldn’t do it anyway. Those things tend to break… A lot of the automation and Artificial Intelligence that many people wish for would probably have negative effects on our brain, I think.
What I have in mind is to run all those programs from a USB stick. Then I can go to the library without my laptop and just plug the stick in, currently I have to carry it around.
