Correction: IQ does have a built-in card view (I now see that the original post referred to "Kanban/card-type of view"). I was just referring to kanban-type functionality, which is also achievable in ...
You could also try Zenkit Base. It includes a "Hierarchy" view and a "Mindmap" view. It has custom fields. I don't know about integrating with Windows files. (A limitation is that the Hierarchy view d...

It's simple: Developers are welcome to post here, but their posts should include at least some original content rather than simply copy-pasting already-published updates.. The recent post from Taskade...

Thanks. Helpful write-up here:

Nice. Meanwhile, LogSeq's "Whiteboard" feature is now in closed alpha. It's very cool. Interesting to see this trend taking shape.
XYplorer Black Friday Sale

Interesting. I have a trial of Directory Opus installed right now and was thinking of taking advantage of their current sale. What I like most is DO's implementation of a flat view, where it's possibl...

Feedburner was successfully delivering forum posts to email until the July 24th, at which point it stopped working. I have tried reconfiguring to no avail. Does anyone else still use the Feedburner to...

Apropos: Notion just released its integrated AI writing tool: https://www.notion.so/product/ai (waitlist)
Certainly a growing trend that raises lots of questions...
Discourse map!
11/16/2022
I forgot to mention: Argdown is worth mentioning in this context. The argdown plugin for Obsidian, for example, allows for outlining arguments and viewing them as a map.
Discourse map!

Yes, the Discourse Graph tool for Roam is interesting as a type of concept mapping tool. I was delighted to notice recently that the developer put out a survey implying he plans to continue developing...
Tana?
10/11/2022
From the looks of it, it appears that Tana will be joining the tiny, elite club of modern, "one-pane" outliners with full support for columns/fields. Aside from task-centric options that can be repurp...
Advice needed

Oh well, never mind. I just re-read Lawrence's post over on the dedicated forum, where he specifies that he is able to launch the program, but has problems when loading a database. So my comments may ...

Good idea, Bill. For what it's worth, before others spend their time, I will mention my experience: For running the installation file, I tried the troubleshooter and playing around with compatibility ...

Lawrence, it is thanks to you that I have a copy of Idealist on my computer. While the "IDEAL3.EXE" installation file, which I downloaded from your blog some years ago, won't run on my up-to-date Wind...
I see your point. Perhaps my curmudgeonly tendencies were getting the better of me, and I certainly don't mind the Tana approach. Anyway, I do look forward to giving Scrintal a spin at some point, alt...
(Meant to add: The counter-argument approach reminds me of Neil Larson's Maxthink school of outlining.)
Tana?

Mentioned here, by the way:
https://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/9874/0/two-new-crispy-crimp-flavours
Interesting. It hadn't occurred to me to use the plugin to write for me. I thought the devil's advocate mode, in particular, could be helpful in providing counterarguments to one's current line of tho...
I guess I've been out of the loop. Turns out there's already been a Logseq plugin that does this for a while:
https://github.com/briansunter/logseq-plugin-gpt3-openai
This seems like a genuine innovation in outlining as idea processing, and perhaps a taste of the future. Roam Research now has about 60 available plugins, and one of them, called "Roam AI", implements...
There might be lots of good reasons for the Scrintal business strategy, but there are also lots of reasons to find the hype-centric approach distasteful. Certain practices seem to be becoming normaliz...
Starting price of $250 per month (includes 10 seats, but there appears to be no option for individual users)
https://equals.app/pricing/
Indeed. It is absolutely a good price, so long as one is clear on what one's getting. Word and Excell continue to be essential to my workflow.
