Mellel 4.2 released
6/27/2019
Mellel is, to my mind, undoubtedly more heavy-duty, particularly in relation to its page-layout features.
I've often looked it over with crimpish longing, but then cast the thought aside, because of ...

Not, I hasten to add, that it's still available (as far as I know).

I seem to remember that one of the virtues of Brainstorm, which had quite a fanbase on this forum at one time, was that it featured clones. (Windows, I think).

I lack the information necessary to take a view on this discussion. I will only say that in my own limited email communications with the developers they have been polite, straightforward and responsiv...
Subscription as investment
5/15/2019
When it comes to monitoring and pruning subs, I've found the subscription list maintained by Apple in my macOS App Store account useful, plus one of the simple iOS subscription-list apps for software ...
Subscription as investment
5/15/2019
I do favour a "mixed economy" of subscription and non-subscription applications, and I am happy to pay subscriptions for a limited number of applications where I believe that the application is good, ...
Yes, many thanks. I wasn't so much interested in K-edit, but more in McPhee's ideas about long-form structure itself. And in particular ideas about when the writer can step out of the framework provid...

Apologies to anyone for whom my post above may have made it seem as if the beta is 100 per cent safe.

I run DevonThink Pro Office. I have thousands of documents in 32 databases, amounting to more than 15Gb of data. I recommend this upgrade, which appears to have been at least five years in the conceiv...

I found it by downloading the beta. (From memory) there's a link under the File menu. There probably other ways.

Mind Node 6

A review here: https://www.macstories.net
I agree with the points you make, Argonsnorts. And if it's your first post, welcome.
