Personal Memory Manager 10/2/2010

Very quickly: I played around with PMM a good bit last year and enjoyed it. It's certainly unique, and the implementation of multiple saved views of data is useful. I also found it stable (version 6) ...

Tinderbox sale (plus extra sale for academics) 8/23/2010

I'm never sure whether to post on here about sales, as this forum isn't intended for promotion, but for what it's worth, there's a pretty good sale on Tinderbox currently (of particular note: $80 off ...

Structured Document Editors? 7/14/2010

(The "?" preceeding "12.99" in my last post was a pound (GBP) sign that appears not to have been recognized.)

Structured Document Editors? 7/13/2010

One other note: It may be that NoteCase Pro offers something along the lines of what I mentioned, but I've never been able to test the software, because the pro features are disabled in the demo. The ...

Structured Document Editors? 7/12/2010

@Mathias Thanks for pointing me to Scenari. It looks quite interesting. I'm realizing now, having done a bit more research, that the phrase "structured document" has various shades of meaning beyond ...

Structured Document Editors? 7/12/2010

Thanks very much, Steve. I tried Writer's Blocks before, but I didn't remember that it's possible to edit the combined document. I guess the only downside with Writer's Blocks would be that the blocks...

Structured Document Editors? 7/12/2010

I recently came across Sense, a "structured text editor" or "advanced document editor" from Silva Elm: http://www.silvaelm.co.uk/ The software turns out to be a bit buggy, but it has a key feature t...

Lyx-Outliner: Call for suggestions 7/1/2010

Rob Oakes recently revived his impressive "Lyx-Outliner" project, which is planned as a an add-on to the Lyx Document Processor (which I use some of the time). An update and some screenshots can be fo...

OneNote 2010 and Onenote Web App 6/15/2010

Office 2010 just came out of beta (ahead of schedule, I believe), and they've now unveiled the new suite of web apps as well. I had been eagerly looking forward to the OneNote Web App, although it tur...

Just a heads up about the release of the public beta of PersonalBrain 6: http://www.thebrain.com/beta The most notable new feature appears to be web access and syncing. (In the category of minor twe...

So, what do you folks do? 5/1/2010

"My name is Lucas, and I am an outliner..." Actually I'm just a grad student. My interest in outlining encompasses three general areas: idea organization, task management, and writing. (On rare occas...

(Slightly off-topic:) Outlining and the Academic Writing Process 4/28/2010

I hope it's okay that this post isn't primarily about software, but for those interested in outlining and the academic writing process, I thought I would share this essay that I recently came across: ...

Software Feature Matrix 4/23/2010

Dear Eduardo et al, I think the feature matrix is an excellent idea. Regarding categories: I think it would be useful to group features together into categories (as is done with wikimatrix), but I ...

DevonThink alternative? 3/18/2010

I think Zotero is also worthy of mention here, although it's more of a specialized app with major limitations in comparison to DevonThink. Aside from its power as a reference manager (it's intended fu...

News on TAO (Mac) 3/10/2010

Yes, I too was surprised by the cheap price and bought a license a few weeks ago. It's a powerful app, and in addition to the cloning, I especially like the robust saved search and filtering capabilit...

ADM revisited 3/7/2010

Also, given that the the setup file is still hosted at adm21.net, someone must be paying hosting fees, which I would think would mean that someone would be willing to sell a license. I haven't looked ...
