X-Tiles goes to LTD..
3/2/2023
I've used xTiles some and wrote about it here:

The app has come a long way since that mini-review.

There are many browser-based writing apps, some almost identical to Scrivener, others borrowing some of Scrivener's ideas. I imagine they must be having some impact on sales of Scrivener, which could ...
Andy,
I guess I can only speak for myself -- though I believe most of the folks on this forum would share my sentiments -- but I welcome your comments. I have no problem with you mentioning Hyperpla...
Thanks for asking. First of all, I admire both apps and I think they will each get better and better. I am inclined toward Heptabase at this point for a few reasons:
1. Heptabase is local first, but ...
Obsidian vs Heptabase
1/29/2023
Not trying to talk anyone out of Obsidian and into Heptabase, but I do want to mention that Heptabase has been getting lots of useful new features, like this one:

Beck Tench's Tech Bench

Off topic:
I just came across a YouTube video by Beck Tench (who has been a contributor to this form in the past). She calls it Beck Tench's Tech Bench... great name. Previously, Beck had made some w...
Tana?
1/5/2023
I used Tana for a few days. I certainly didn't delve into all its rich features, but through my experience I would agree with what @exatty95 said. And I would add this:
I found that Tana is a lot l...
Capacities Get Mac app
1/4/2023
I've started off 2023 diving into Capacities. So far I've been impressed. It isn't necessarily that it has functions other apps don't... with so many apps, it is hard to find one that is really differ...
I have looked at and tried most of the apps you suggest and a lot of other ones too (no surprise to anyone who has followed my CRIMP travails). An app not on your list that I suggest you take a look a...
New app, Bike

Curious to know how Bike is better than OutlineEdit, for those of you familiar with both:

Thanks.

Sad state of Evernote
12/5/2022
I still keep an Evernote account as a backup for gathering random information. The one thing Evernote hasn't been beaten at (in my view) is in the ubiquitous methods for putting data into it. For a lo...
Heptabase

I did the same last spring. He did eventually get back to me and gave me my refund.

Robot writing apps
11/10/2022
I wonder what this group thinks of some of the new AI writing applications. Mem X now has Smart Write and Smart Edit. See this video:

As I wrote in the comments for that...
Obsidian 1.0
11/10/2022
I completely agree with this. Being able to read your writing sections as one long document is very useful in ensuring a smooth, engaging flow to your writing. I wish more writing apps did this.

This forum is a time capsule
10/12/2022
I was always fond of InfoSelect, which had a lot of potential, but was too expensive and a bit esoteric. I find that it still available:

A new purchase is $279, h...
Tana?
10/9/2022
This rather rambling video provides a look at how Tana works. It makes me even more eager to get my finger tips on it.

Tana?

I have signed up for the wait list. I am intrigued, of course. I'm not sure how long the wait will be.

Advice needed
10/8/2022
Lawrence,
Have you considered either of these apps:
https://cintanotes.com
https://standardnotes.com
These work well with plain text. Probably not all the organizational features of Idealist.

Advice needed

This recommendation is based on a hunch that it might work. Not on experience. But have you looked at Zoot?

It has been around for 25 years. I'm not sure that it has ad...
Two new CRISPY-CRIMP flavours
10/5/2022
These both look interesting. Thanks!
Legend
10/1/2022
Thanks, Jay.
I looked for Legend on the iOS App Store and couldn't find it, but others in this forum did. I had installed the app when it was still known as moo.do.

I think the fact that it was known as moo.do for a time has made it difficult to find. I'm having trouble finding how you install it, though it is listed here:

xTiles is live on Product Hunt!
9/21/2022
I hope you had a successful launch!
Steve
There are lots of uses for outlines, of course. One interesting one -- and I think it is why apps like Roam are popular -- is dialoging with yourself. You can do that with any writing app, but you can...
