Clover looks interesting
7/14/2021
I've been using Clover all day and I have to say that I am very impressed. This app seems to have hit a sweet spot for me. It's still in beta, so there are a few small things, but I expect them to be ...
Clover looks interesting

I just learned about Clover, a new note-taking, info-management app that combines the features of a number of other apps.

You can create whiteboards (called Surfaces) as well a...
Two additional online writing apps
7/13/2021
I just learned about two online writing apps that I thought I mention here, in case there is interest.
LivingWriter is another Scrivener clone, this one more full-featured than Slice. A subscription ...
Slice is focus-first writing software

Thanks for responding, Joe.
In addition to PDF, I'd like to be able to export to Markdown, Plain Text at a minimum, and Word or RTF, as well.

Thanks for the headsup, Alexander. I had never heard of Slice before and I've been looking for an online writing app. I'm not sure Slice will do the trick, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Notebooks 11 with iCloud Drive Sync

I did a very quick test and was disappointed. Links work, but the app doesn't auto-generate the link while you type it. That is, you need to know the title of the note you want to link to.

From the "What's New" documentation for version 2.1 or the Mac app:

Just to make clear, version 11 is the iOS app. The MacOS app is on version 2.4.

Going with what you know

My first smart phone was an Android. I hated it. I could never get the feel of it. When I got my first iPhone, I felt completely at home with it. Although I must admit I still haven't settled on my ap...

Thanks, Andy. I've taken advantage of one of the offers.
Tinderbox v9 released
6/23/2021
Thanks for the alert. Some nice additions, including the Command Bar and Markdown support in the editor.
I feel the same about Roam. I would use it if it were $5 per month, but it doesn't provide enough unique value for three times that, at least not for my needs. My favorite feature of Roam is the daily...
Mapping System with Attributes

I should make it clear that this is an older video using an earlier version TheBrain when they were still calling it PersonalBrain. But it has only gotten better at this stuff since then.

Mapping System with Attributes

I am not quite sure if you're saying you need something that automates these processes, or just visualizes them for you and your team. If the latter, you might take a look at TheBrain. See this video ...
Mac software recommendations

For writing apps you need to look at Ulysses and Scrivener, I think. Ulysses is more versatile, but is a subscription model. Scrivener is more project-oriented and a one-time purchase.
For notes, wel...
A significant development with Craft
6/2/2021
I am a fan of both Obsidian and Roam, but I don't like writing in either app a whole lot. Craft feels more like a genuine word processor with note-linking skills. But I have not yet really committed t...
A significant development with Craft

Craft has now incorporated a Calendar view which makes it easy to create daily notes. This is an excellent addition. I don't know if this has been implemented in the web version yet, but I doubt it. O...
Mem

I just wanted to update my thoughts about Mem. I am finding it works pretty well for me. Entering information is very frictionless. I mostly use it on my Windows PC at work, so I access it through the...

This conversation may be going over my head, so if I'm stating something completely off-base apologies up front.
But when Dave Winer was talking about silos, I took him to mean that most of the appli...

I know I am not the only one who remembers that Dave was the original host of this forum, the one who got this ball rolling. I'm not sure of what he'd make of CRIMPing, and I don't think I want to fin...
TheBrain v. Obsidian as of May 2021

This is a good choice, but only if you do not intend to synchronize your brains across devices.

Some additional positive notes about TheBrain. The search is very fast. You can now also quickly create a new thought right from the search bar... it works like nvAlt and some other apps do, combining...
