Just what is an outliner?
5/5/2017
Paul, I request that you read my response to you again. I think you'll find I didn't feel "torqued" at all. I was just trying to react to some of the things you wrote, which is the point of a discussi...

Just what is an outliner?
5/5/2017
Luhmann rightly didn't want his topic on a list of dedicated outliners (DO) hijacked into another discussion, so I've started it here. If you search the archive, you may find that I've brought this to...
Interesting project. It's kind of sad how few outliners there are that meet your criteria. I added Carbonfin Outliner to the list.
Your project also demonstrates the utility of Dynalist, which I appr...
CintaNotes
4/28/2017
I like CintaNotes. If there were versions for MacOS and iOS, it may very well be my note manager of preference. But its reliance on SimpleNote to keep and view notes on those other platforms is makes ...
Click on the first menu item on the left, "Collate." Under there is an option called "Import." You have options to import from Evernote Archive, Text Files or Markdown Files. Developer calls it a tuto...
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...

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
1/21/2017
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

Yes, that's the case, unfortunately. I don't see that changing ever.

Hi, Franz,
The Scrivener way. I wish Curio worked the way Ulysses does. Its nifty little helper app, Curiota, however, works the Ulysses way.
