Mohio - mindmap your Evernote
12/7/2013
Thanks for another suggestion that I expect to be very useful, Paul.
Updated Evernote Web Clipper for Safari
11/17/2013
Thanks! (I wasn't otherwise aware of the update.)
And you'll want Scapple to do all that, and still pay $14.99?
Scapple is an electronic form of "napkin concept-mapping". As that implies, it really isn't intended to be competitive with the "big" min...
The wonderful Numbers

I have to admit that fan of the Mac that I've been for the last six years, I think Apple really has screwed up the launch of the latest versions of its iWorks software. I haven't been impressed with t...
It's easy to check on the CrossOver Web site whether Connected Text will run.
Alternatively, it may be worth considering VoodooPad: http://flyingmeat.com/voodoopad/. I carry no torch for it - I have ...

Interesting article for outliners
10/16/2013
Thanks Steve. Interesting piece.

However, love it or loathe it, MS Word has an installed base and is a professional st...

That view is supported when you learn that computer-held, apparently hierarchical organising systems such as DevonThink, which I mentioned above, are only that - apparent. Devonthink for example, crea...
Scrivener 2.4 now available
10/10/2013
And any of the books are also pretty helpful. I've read or skimmed most of them, and I haven't found a weak one yet.
Incidentally, Scrivener isn't really a word processor, in the traditional sense of...
Scrivener 2.4 now available
10/10/2013
The Scrivener forums at Literature & Latte also comprise a very useful resource if you're puzzled about how to do something. There are how-to videos on the L&L website, too. And finally the software c...

On the Mac, EN can be paired with DevonThink Pro Office (not sure about the capability of DT's other flavours to import EN exports without the use of Applescripts - of which there are one or two aroun...

Writing Software for Writers

Bean - sadly - should be added to the list of those no longer being developed.
Markdown vs WSYWYG
9/2/2013
Related to bob's comment immediately above, I think one of the argued-for attractions of Markdown to long-form writers of all descriptions is the focus that it allows them to give to their content, ra...
