What's Up With Walling?
11/11/2024
Under Elmasry (the founder, I believe), Walling seemed to have new features added weekly. It evolved quickly into a very capable PKM. I couldn't quite commit to it fully, because I felt like I would g...
What's Up With Walling?
11/9/2024
That sad to hear. I feared the worst, and this confirms it. Walling has some unique features. I always thought there was some symmetry between Walling and xTiles -- although they are Ukraine based, so...
Text Block Author
11/4/2024
This looks like Writer's Blocks, which has been around for a long time, but is not free ($150, one-time purchase).

This is not an endorsement of Writer's Blocks, just ...
Multi-Platform "Junk Drawer" App
10/28/2024
You should look into MyMind. I think it checks off several, if not all of your boxes. It is my junk drawer app. Capturing information into MyMind is easy, and you can put in almost anything. It doesn'...
Anyone try out Sublime yet?
10/24/2024
I just learned of a new knowledge management app called Sublime. It is cloud-based and appears to be pretty simple.
https://sublime.app/
I've been craving simple solutions these days (that's why I l...
Anyone trying out Kortex?
10/13/2024
Thanks for the heads up about this.
Anyone trying out Kortex?
10/13/2024
Hi, all,
I just learned about another new app, Kortex. This one purports to be like Notion for writers. It seems to have some unique features (there's a solid video about the app on the website), but...
Stashpad - A Personal Note Taking Tool
8/20/2024
I just got a notice from the developers of Stashpad (officially Stashpad Lists, because they also make Stashpad Docs), that they are shutting down after just a couple of years. This isn't surprising, ...
PC OUTLINE
8/15/2024
Excellent. I hope you enjoy it. It was the first book of Martin's I read and it has stuck with me, though I don't remember it in detail, just the broad outline.

PC OUTLINE

I don't know if you have a deep enough familiarity with the works of George R.R. Martin to have done this on purpose (kudos if you did), but Martin -- one of those espousing the joy of still using Wor...
The elephant in the room: AI
7/4/2024
Hi, Bill,
You are not alone in your concern about AI being rushed into virtually all apps that deal with information or writing. I've found that some apps even try too hard to push AI into my workflo...
Curio 28 has been released (Mac only)
6/24/2024
Indeed. It is great to see an app that's been around so long, and is still receiving significant upgrades and support.
I like MyMind. It is a bit on the pricey side, no doubt. But it is very easy to bring material into the app and it is easy to retrieve it when needed. It isn't a space for working with the information...
I liked Bublup, finding it a nice alternative to Evernote and/or MyMind. But the developer really bungled the switch to paid only plans. Two other things concern me. They don't list updates on their w...
Invasive ads

Thank you! Turns out, however, that I do have Block and Notify selected for all websites. Not sure why it didn't work for this site!
Again, thanks!

Invasive ads

I saw them on Safari, too. Probably there's a setting I didn't use.

Hi, Chris,
The ads I was complaining about have gone away. Thank you.

Hi, all,
I understand that Chris needs to get some compensation for running this site, which I very much appreciate. But recently the ads have become very invasive. They pop up blocking the main scre...
Speare word processor
4/20/2024
@Dormouse, Ulysses is strictly Apple products, which doesn't work for me, because I spend my work days on Windows. Dabble and other apps like it really focus on long-form fiction writing. Whereas, Spe...
Speare word processor
4/19/2024
Speare has evolved a great deal since this early thread about the writing app. Here's an overview of the latest iteration:

It seems a highly flexible...
Columns.App
4/18/2024
Columns has been around for at least three years. And it has never had any more information than what is currently on the website. I've been intrigued by it, too, but like you a bit trepidatious about...
Another possibility to look into is Heptabase. See this video (I've cued up the appropriate time slot in the video), which demonstrates how to extract text from a PDF and get a link back to the origin...
treeline 2.0
3/7/2024
ListPro is still available... now on iPhone. I don't think it is being developed very much these days.
treeline 2.0
3/6/2024
I was a frustrated askSam user... Loved the idea, but could never get it to do what I needed it to do. Noteship does look like a nice app. It is a shame that it hasn't garnered more attention and user...
That is an interesting development. Smart, I think. One reason (the main one) that I've never adopted Bear for writing is that I work on a Windows PC for my job. Two other apps that started in the App...
