Yes, I got my letter the other day and was going to post, but I have been under the weather this week and was not able to post. I am feeling cautious about this change as we have seen this story before. I actually subscribed when they launched, as my wife found it easy to use when we work together planning or reviewing things like vacation plans. It is not perfect, but it does the job well enough.

I suspect I will continue using it, but I am also going to start reviewing my export options and also see what alternate programs are out there as well. I liked Milanote, but I also know my wife will not be happy if I recommend a new program. I migrated from Trello to Walling and she was okay, but not exactly happy with, that migration. The next one may not be so well received.

This is where the pace of change becomes so annoying – when collaboration (whether personal or professional) is involved.

I guess it’s why many (even most?) of us are happiest with apps that base the underlying data repository on standard text files (whether markdown or otherwise encoded – the new Obsidian Gingko-alike plugin is an awesome example of sensitively “enhanced” markdown code, as is NotesHub).

For those who don’t know it, the Gingko-alike plugin is called “Lineage”. It’s transforming my Obsidian experience!

Well, I finally got around to filling out the survey. I am not sure who wrote it, but it did not give me a lot of encouragement about the future of the program. Perhaps they were trying to gauge loyalty, but the questions seemed more focused on what I would do if I did not have Walling. As I said, not encouraging. I wish them well, as I like the program a lot, but I am still keeping my eyes open. Perhaps it it time to revisit X-Tiles?

I’m just writing to thank you for the reference, @MadaboutDana!!!

Gingko, was for quite some time my favorite program for thinking and composing text. I put it aside due to the erratic update path of its developer, on the other hand I regretted that there was no similar alternative: simple, graphical and effective… And now, thanks to your suggestion I have just discovered a very good alternative and also integrated into Obsidian. Wonderful! It works well on macOS, although on iPadOS (for now) it presents some quite annoying bugs. Despite that I am already using it.

I repeat: thank you very much.

You’re very welcome! Your experience mirrors mine! ;-)
