Roam Patrol!
11/24/2020
Interesting post, @Daly! I work with and do research with indigenous people in Colombia, and I find outlining and knowledge management tools helpful in that.
I've also been delving into Obsidian. I l...

Thanks, @washere. To answer your question, for the moment, I'm ideally looking for something either online or for Windows, but if there is something on another platform that includes the feature in qu...
(I hope this question counts as being tangentially related to outlining insofar as it's a question of the structured, visual display of information.)
I tried out the new Hey.com email service, and th...
RemNote (Roam-like web app)
6/25/2020
Despite it's clunky UI, I think RemNote (remnote.io) deserves its own thread here, given some of its relatively unique outlining functionality. Although it bills itself as being focused on spaced-repe...
InfoQube Outliner Announcement
6/11/2020
@washere: I find this interesting. Is it really true that most people in the groups you refer to prefer dark mode? I certainly don't, even if I spend 12 hours at the screen. I find it quite irritating...
Obsidian gets folding
5/26/2020
Although the discussion of automatic links and aliases should perhaps be a separate topic, I will just mention I, like @bvasconcelos, find both automatic links and aliases highly useful, especially fo...

I just come across Textflo (for Windows), which offers some interesting text analysis algorithms. The site is here:

If nobody here speaks up, you could contact the writer of the blog, whose new site is here (and he says he still uses Idealist):

Outliner for granular writing?
4/5/2020
Interesting about Manuscripts. I didn't know it. At first I had it conflated with "Manuskript" (http://www.theologeek.ch/manuskript/), but I see that it is different. It looks awesome. However, there ...
Outliner for granular writing?
4/4/2020
There are many possible approaches, of course, but off the top of my mind, I would recommend three programs that have the advantage of allowing you to work in hierarchical mode and paragraph mode simu...
Thanks for the heads up! Free full-text indexing of visited websites is a cool feature. On my Mac, I was happy with HistoryHound, but I haven't gotten around to finding an alternative now that I'm on ...
infoqube update
3/24/2020
This might be a topic for the IQ forums, but for what it's worth, I had no problem installing on Windows 10 Pro v1909. (I don't have a good understanding about Windows Defender, or about whether its b...
FYI, in case you aren't already aware, the latest version of Outlook for Windows has a "Coming Soon" toggle in the top right which, if enabled, turns on improved search. (The improved search appears t...

Tinderbox 8.5 with Cross Tab views

(I now see from Mark Bernstein's blog and the Tinderbox forum that the new linking features come in response to requests to implement Roam-like functionality in Tinderbox. It's great to see this sort ...
Tinderbox 8.5 with Cross Tab views
3/12/2020
Thanks for the update. From my perspective, this is huge, and could finally make Tinderbox, which is already my favorite outliner, into the ultimate personal wiki/zettelkasten. (Unfortunately, I've be...

A bit of googling turned up this free (Windows) option, which might be worth a try:

The director of the project is a relatively young fellow named Conor White-Sullivan. Here is a bio from a previous role as a White House author:

Thanks for the helpful posts. Also note that the developer has posted a white paper:
https://roamresearch.com/#/v8/help/page/Vu1MmjinS
Also includes outlining and a sort of cloning within outlines -- wow! (The feature is called "blocks")
