Well, that solves one of my reservations about VoodooPad, which is that it is hard to take seriously a developer called "Flying Meat."
The history of one developer acquiring an app from the original ...
Sorry for the off topic question, but I don't know anyone I trust more than this group when it comes to this kind of thing. The organization I work for needs an easy-to-use system for sharing document...
I am interested in how this works for you. Please keep us updated. Thank you.

I'd like to know what you feel is lacking in your current work flow that you expect CT to improve. CT is an outstanding all-in-one application, but I don't think it is a better writing environment tha...
For what I personally consider the best implementation of "inline" notes, see the article I wrote about Grandview several years ago:

article - simplenote alternatives
10/29/2013
Interesting that SimpleNote is no longer accepting Premium licenses. They had a recent "re-launch," but they've got to come up with some revenue source or we'll be back to the unbuyer beware scenario,...
TheBrain 8 beta
10/28/2013
I would be interested in knowing what percentage of TheBrain users are Pro Licensees only. My guess is that more and more users are doing the Combo license, which is basically an annual subscription. ...
Thanks for starting this interesting thread, Alexander. You've raised issues I was totally unaware of, though I've had a growing suspicion about cloud services for a while now. A friend and I have (on...
graphical scenario outliner
10/25/2013
Welcome to the forum!
Just to add a couple of additional options to those all ready suggested: If you're using a Mac, give Curio a look. And if you're on a Windows machine, OneNote might be a good op...
This is what made Grandview so spectacular. It included every variety of method to expand and contract your document, so that you could always see just what you needed to see on the screen:

Interesting article for outliners
10/16/2013
Here's an article many of us outliners may find interesting:

I'm no fan of Word, avoiding it whenever I can. But I don't really see the problem. Write your work in whatever tool(s) you find best for you, then paste it or convert it to Word when it is time to su...
Thanks, Alexander, for jogging my memory!!!

It's true, of course, that if (and it usually does) the text runs off the bottom of the page in the scrivenings view, you can't see it. But Scrivener allows you to open other notes in "quick reference...
It sounds a little like you are describing the "scrivenings" view in Scrivener, where the editor will show the contents of selected items as if they were one, longer item. There was an two-pane outlin...
Scrivener 2.4 now available
10/10/2013
My three-year old review (has it been that long?!) on Mac Appstorm will give you some idea bout the fancier features of Scrivener:

askSam vs. Zoot? and vs. others
10/9/2013
One thing that I would like to emphasize about Zoot, something I think gets lost in all the talk about how inscrutable the application is: You can start using Zoot without knowing a whole lot about al...
ConnectedText v6 is out
10/1/2013
I love ConnectedText, but have not been using it much, as my workflow at the office just doesn't fit it in, and I use a MacBook for personal work. I keep trying to resurrect my use of CT, because I am...

Horizontal outlining
9/13/2013
A horizontal outline is essentially a tree diagram, I think. At times it is useful to see your information that way. I personally would not find it an advantage to ONLY be able to view my information ...
askSam dead?
9/11/2013
As for AskSam, I wouldn't go near it with a ten-foot pole. I am suspicious of a company that keeps using a "server crash" as an excuse for not coming out with a long-promised update. I suspect they ju...
askSam dead?
9/11/2013
Price and features are not always correlated. AskSam Pro costs $395, much more than most of the programs we discuss here, yet it is one of the least-well supported -- and they can't even keep their se...
Back to ConnectedText

AndyJim,
If I understand you correctly, you have longer documents that you want to split into shorter snippets. If that is the case, you can do that very easily with CT. Dump the text into one topic ...

Right on schedule: This came through the list serve from Wade Goodman:
We have experienced a massive server crash here at askSam and everything we have is currently down. We are currently working wi...
