@Prion I mis-spoke about something and need to correct my comment above. With the current version of LiquidText it *is* possible to open a file from DEVONthink to Go using the interface to Files from inside LT, do highlights and add comments, and have those highlights and comments saved back to the original file. Either on a case-by-case basis or automatically. There’s a limitation to this. If you add “ink” comments, or comments on comments, or cross-document comments (as when working with a set of files) then those are not saved back.
This means there is limited cross-app synchronization between DEVONthink to Go and Liquid Text. I think the limitation is due to LT having more robust annotation capability than the PDF standard supports. The only way to get a full set of notes out of LT is to export them as .docx and save that to a new destination such as DEVONthink to Go.

Impressive 30-second overview of the app’s folding, functionality:

the linked video refers to Liquid Author not Liquidtext, the two apps are completely unrelated (their confusingly similar names notwithstanding)

Ah, sorry. I was not familiar with the brand or names. But I liked the folding shown in that video.

I’ve tried both.
LiquidText lacks an iPhone app, which I need.
Margin Note annoyingly exports to specific apps rather than just support standards like OPML, Markdown, Txt, etc. which makes it impossible for me to use as I’d like (since I don’t use OmniOutliner)...
I also find mindmaps far less useful and far harder to read/work with on a mobile device than a straight hierarchical outliner…
I really wish someone would make something like these two apps that worked with a Workflowy/Dynalist style outliner directly.
