Collate still has a bunch of rough edges. The Mac version has some definite bugs -- the open note in editor function does not work properly, for example. But it is intriguing for an app that still has...
BTW, Collate wants to take advantage of dissatisfaction with Evernote. It has an Evernote importer and a built in tutorial about how to do it. I haven't tried this, myself.
Some of you may already have seen the preview of Collate through Lifehacker, if not some other source. But if you haven't this notes app may be worth taking a look at. It runs on Windows, Mac or Linux...
Demise of NoteMap
4/12/2017
Come to think of it, the company representative I referred to used to contribute to this forum back when it was hosted by Dave Winer. For kicks, I searched the old text archive and found a few of his ...
Demise of NoteMap
4/12/2017
I am sorry to hear this as well, though certainly not surprised. I had a lot of hope that NoteMap would evolve into a reasonable GrandView replacement. I had even had contact with one of the people wh...
Omni Outliner 5 is set to launch
4/7/2017
It would be nice if you could switch to "Essentials" mode from the Pro version, for those times you don't need all the bells and whistles. Can't be that hard to implement, since the Essentials and the...
Thank you, Hugh, for the plug about my video tutorials about Tinderbox. They just skim the surface of what you can do with your notes in Tinderbox, but I hope they are useful.
I'm with Hugh on the fa...
ConnectedText - moribund?
2/24/2017
I checked in with Eduardo on Facebook and got an immediate answer. Yes, CT is still alive, but he's not been able to develop it at the pace he is happy with.

Novlr - novel writing app
2/21/2017
I did a quick overview of online writing apps -- very quick and superficial. I was not overly impressed. The one that most impressed me is called Shaxpir (pronounced Shakespeare), although they say it...
Novlr - novel writing app
2/21/2017
Super Note Card (remember this old one, which used to be called Miss Lonely Notes at one time) is now an online app. I haven't used it, but it seems to offer a lot more power than Novlr and they charg...
Novlr - novel writing app
2/20/2017
As it stands now, Novlr is to Scrivener what a pencil is to a typewriter -- an that perhaps is its only allure: simplicity. I wish these folks well, but who would want to spend $120 a year for less fu...
Dropbox Paper
2/10/2017
Thanks for the feedback, Bill.
I was fond of Hackpad, though I didn't really find a use for it. I'm glad Dropbox is developing it into a useful app. I've just started playing with it, and it seems im...
Dropbox Paper

If you've been wondering what happened to Hackpad, here it is in its new incarnation as Dropbox Paper:

Back, back to TaskPaper
2/2/2017
Speaking of distraction free writing apps, there's a new one for Mac called `Tabula. This one has a new wrinkle that I haven't seen before. It interprets the lines on your page and applies styles auto...
Good bye WizNote, hello Nimbus Note
1/26/2017
I tried Nimbus Notes a couple of years ago and was impressed. I didn't commit to it because I was already relying on a few other note services and couldn't see the real need of switching. At the time ...
Evernote irony

Thanks, Paul. That did the trick.
Evernote irony
1/20/2017
So in recent days I've been exploring the idea of using Evernote more aggressively for my note-building and management needs. It works on all my devices and notes stay well synchronized. That is until...
Curio 11 is released
1/20/2017
Yes, that's the case, unfortunately. I don't see that changing ever.

Curio 11 is released
1/20/2017
Hi, Franz,
The Scrivener way. I wish Curio worked the way Ulysses does. Its nifty little helper app, Curiota, however, works the Ulysses way.

Thanks for the heads up, Paul. I just bought my upgrade!

Happy New Year
1/3/2017
Paul,
Your list of the things you're looking forward to in 2017 is almost the exact same as mine. I've given up on Quiver, however. (But if they DO come out with an iOS version, that might revive my ...
Happy New Year
1/1/2017
Many of you have already crossed into 2017, the rest of us will be joining you in the next few hours. If you're like me, you're glad to see 2016 hit the road, but are apprehensive about what is to com...
Dynalist getting even better
12/27/2016
Erica,
Thank you for participating on this forum and for responding to some of the concerns about Dynalist. You have a very good product, I believe. I wish you continued success with it. And I'm look...
Dynalist getting even better
12/26/2016
I've recently begun using Dynalist too. It's not as "clean" as Workflowy, but it has a number of features that Workflowy does not. The most important of these for me is that I can organize my outlines...
RichView portable editor

It is unlikely that you're thinking of Jarte, but just in case I'll toss it out there:
