What's the state of the art?
9/9/2011
I've just been wondering what the current state of the art outlining application is. It seems there has been no real innovation in this area in a while. That isn't to say that there are not a lot of t...
The number of applications that allow you to view your writing in a table format are limited and none of those, that I'm aware of, has anything like the outlining capabilities you're looking for. $Bil...
Tools to work with lots of numbers

I am sure you are aware of B-Liner, but I'll put it out there anyway, just for old time's sake:

Noteliner 3.2 update
8/22/2011
I don't recall seeing this mentioned previously, so I want to make sure all interested outliner folks are aware that Noteliner has received a recent update, including a navigation pane.

If the information I collect is very miscellaneous or random, I will put it into Zoot (when at my office PC) or DevonThink on my Macbook. But if it fits neatly into existing categories of interest, it...
About this particular outliner

I miss Ted's articles, too. He can be found, at times, asking questions or making comments on the Tinderbox forum.

Zoot 6 - the solution ?
8/6/2011
It's hard to describe all the great features of Zoot, because there are so many. I used to say that Tom Davis would add functionality before anyone even realized they needed it; or to put it another w...
Only $24.95! That's a lot of functionality for the price. I recall being impressed by the features and power of IM, but finding the interface cumbersome and slow. It will be interesting to see if the...
Zoot 6 - the solution ?
8/5/2011
Welcome aboard.
I think it is inaccurate to view Zoot as now being focussed on a Twitter/Facebook development path. Zoot XT has many enhancements, and I do not believe Tom Davis has shirked the core ...
Zoot 6 - the solution ?
8/4/2011
I can understand the frustrations with Zoot over the past few years. But I have to say that through the endless updates -- minor and major -- Zoot has worked seamlessly for me, at least in terms of my...
Zoot 6 - the solution ?
8/3/2011
I've been a long time Zoot fan, but it has taken me some time to warm up to XT, but it is growing on me. So far I miss two things:
1. The ability to print mailing labels.
2. A comprehensive help file...

I was a Sidekick user myself. The application I had in which you could clip text in one application and paste it into another. That seemed like the ultimate in convenience. I also used MemoryMate and ...
Glen,
I believe Tom Davis, the developer of Zoot, is putting together help files now -- which is why the current version is still only a release candidate. Official release is supposed to happen in S...
I too like the idea of a personal wiki, but have yet to find one that works intuitively for me. ConnectedText is a powerful program (and can run as a portable version from a USB stick) but I've found ...
If you're looking for a dumping ground, then I don't think PersonalBrain would be your best choice. For that I use Zoot.
But there are schemes for moderately using PB in this way. You can create a Th...
Using PersonalBrain
8/1/2011
On another thread, Susanne asked how I use PersonalBrain. I don't want to hijack that thread, so I'm starting a new one. I hope other PB users will join the discussion. (I'm going to use the PersonalB...
Susanne,
I'll be happy to answer that question, but I'll do so in a new thread so as not to hijack this one.
(Thanks for asking, as I LOVE to converse about this stuff!)

This is a very interesting question, but one that I find difficult to answer. The truth is, none of the programs I use is "essential" because there is so much redundancy among them.* The ones, however...
two pane outliner question

Nathan,
If I understand your question correctly, you want to be able to organize a collection of smaller outlines, each of which can be stored in categories. Essentially an outline of outlines. If th...

JB,
Like you said earlier, this is a tough crowd. It is nice of you to offer your system free, especially since you also promote Brainstorm, software that I admire. I took a quick look at your site w...
