Hello, also
11/7/2015
And Lotus Organizer. I had a version before Lotus bought it, when it was produced as a sort of cottage industry by a British company called Threadz, and I have a memory that I once telephoned the deve...
Hello, also

Yes, welcome. Another fan of Sidekick and Lotus Agenda here. At the time Lotus Agenda seemed unique, flawless and revolutionary, and I often wish that something like it existed today (though I have re...

Awesome Note lives again!

(Incidentally, and even further OT) I am still looking for a piece of information-management software that isn't a "silo" or everything-bucket, and will successfully perform all the functions I list a...

Changes re: Circus Ponies NoteBook
11/3/2015
I know that one shouldn't be sentimental about software - but Circus Ponies NoteBook was a reason (not the main reason) that I moved to Apple Macs eight-plus years ago. It was also, at the time, one o...
WhizFolders 7 is released

I'm pleased to learn that it's still alive and kicking.
I owned a copy whilst looking for a writing tool before I moved to the Mac and Scrivener launched. Without testing it, to me it looks as if it'...

SmartDown for Mac
10/22/2015
Having both iAWriter and Ulysses, and now having SmartDown, I agree with the points of view expressed by Paul and Steve above.
SmartDown for Mac
10/22/2015
Thanks for the notifications, Madabout and Marcos. Having just downloaded the app, my only observation so far is that some user guidance would be welcome.
Scrivener for mobile?
10/17/2015
If you go the Literature & Latte forums and Keith Blount's blog, you'll find more (much, much more) about this. As I understand the reasons for the delay, L&L has been struck by the sort of personnel ...
I share the dismay about Folding Text, and other prematurely-euthanased, or at least sold-on, applications.
At the same time, I try hard to follow the Blountian advice, quoted here previously: "Buy s...
I do not know of such an extension or bookmarklet, Jim. It's possible that I'm simply ignorant, but it's also possible that it doesn't exist - perhaps because of the onward march of Evernote (until re...
Yes, thanks for this, Steve. Now that Evernote is perhaps no longer looking quite what it was hoped it would become, the market for notes applications on the Mac appears to be more open to a programme...

A pity. Its leadership (see Paul's post above), its initial applications and, IIRC, its funding suggested that good things might follow.
Now the field of significant Evernote competitors has been red...
Evernote reinvents itself again
9/23/2015
Yes, my response is similar - about time too! With the contemporary Evernote - which I can't entirely disentangle in my perception from the previous, and lamented by me, "tear-off-the-toilet-roll" Eve...
iPad "Surface" -- er, "Pro"

iPad "Surface" -- er, "Pro"
9/11/2015
I should like the iPad Pro - together with the appropriate software - to be an effective handwriting-to-text machine; if it turns out to be such a machine, it may also give handwriting-recognition sof...
Thanks for this news, which I wouldn't otherwise have known about.
I've downloaded the application, and will play with it. (I've a vague memory of using it years ago, on Windows.)

I hold down the caps key and the "u" key together, and a little pane with various different kinds of accented "U" appears, from which I can choose the "U" I want - is that not what you do? :)

Many thanks, Franz - that will teach me not to put in umlauts where they don't need putting in!
