I have not tested it yet, but Zettlr looks interesting:

Indeed, it's odd that the home page does't have any, but there are some o...

Seven and half years later, MindForger looks to have come a long way:
www.mindforger.com
It is now billed as a "Thinking Notebook & Markdown IDE".
It runs on Mac and Linux. (I don't have access to ...

"Summerfest" Mac Software Sale
6/25/2018
Well put, Paul and Chris. While there is always room for debate regarding software prices, Paul is right that the program does much more than just handle notes. For instance, I recently created a cust...
Why folding?
6/20/2018
Interesting topic. For the sake of clarification of the terms being discussed: My understanding has always been that, whereas "expand" and "collapse" are terms used generally in software that uses the...
Thanks for the tip -- it's great. Also, it now includes an Outline view:

On Mac:
I agree that Keyboard Maestro is indispensable.
By far the most helpful and valuable software that I use is Tinderbox, which I would recommend to any Mac user who isn't averse to a bit of t...

A few months ago I also reached a point where DokuWiki seemed like the way to go for a personal wiki, so I spent some time trying to set it up to my satisfaction. (I used Bitnami, which for my purpose...
@Paul and @satis --
Fair enough -- I agree that SetApp's daemon is essentially similar to what Google, Microsoft, and Adobe do, but that doesn't mean it should be accepted as standard practice. I re...
Write Mapper for Mac/Windows

http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/7629/0/writemapper
Thanks for the heads up. I installed SetApp back in the early days, but I immediately uninstalled it, because it embedded itself in my system in a way that I found over-aggressive, such as creating pr...

The joy of index cards

Funny you should mention that. Over the past three weeks I have switched over to using index cards to organize my tasks (primarily) and ideas (to a limited extent). It began as an experiment motivated...

Hello @doablesoftware, and welcome to the forum.
I would like to offer a couple of suggestions about how best to make use of this forum. As far as I know, we don't have a formal welcome page or list...
Versatil Markdown
2/28/2018
Thanks for this. Recently my free subscription to Ulysses (which I got for having bought the software in the past) came to an end, so I went through my own search. I found many promising candidates, a...
I don't know what to make of this (I haven't tried it yet), and I don't find it visually appealing, but it looks interesting:

BulletNotes.io appears to offer both outlining of the Workflowy sort as well as a Kanban-like column view, which strikes me as an interesting approach. It was only just released, and I can't say I fin...

I would also like to thank xtabber for mentioning John McPhee's book, which I was unaware of.
Perhaps this could be a separate topic, but in the past I have searched quite a bit for other editors li...
New version of Tinderbox now available

I'm not an expert, but I would say that it is indeed possible to search Tinderbox notes from Spotlight. Sure, the note files contain additional XML syntax, but they also contain all the actual text of...
