Forum redesign
Today
At long last, I finished the redesign. Please let me know if there are any issues or improvements you would like to see.
The old site actually made it difficult to see new messages that needed to b...
Email Access
2 weeks ago
Bob,
Thanks for pointing that out. I was relying on a third-party service for the email subscriptions that has gone away and I overlooked removing the link. I'll look into reinstating the email funct...
Fair enough.
I do wonder if the reliance will extend beyond production to all the other things you mention; even if AI doesn't do them particularly well (yet), it may appear to do them well enough th...
How long will any competitive advantage derived from "using AI" last? It seems if the tech gets more powerful and easier for anyone to use (and baked into everything anyway), it will quickly be reduce...
AI-infused
10/2/2025
To clarify, I shouldn't say the entire premise is fake. The ability to do pattern recognition on vast amounts of data isn't fake. If we can use that cure cancer, sounds good.
The part that seems fake...
AI-infused
10/2/2025
I willingly use AI about once per month, usually for writing a little utility script for something. After the brief initial novelty phase, I have had very little enthusiasm for it, although I keep tel...
Zoot 9 - $30
5/14/2025
Looks like Tom has modified the pricing on Zoot, with an entry price of $30 for a perpetual license + 1 year support. It's not actually a subscription that auto-renews, but you get subsequent years fo...
Invasive ads
4/28/2024
Okay, let me know if you still get ads; apparently, there was an "auto-ads" setting still on and I have now turned that off.
Invasive ads
4/28/2024
Steve, sorry you are getting intrusive ads. I actually thought I removed all advertising from the site, but maybe I missed something. I'll look into it.
Moderator needed
1/5/2024
Hi, sorry about that. I'll see if I can find a replacement service for the Subscribe by Email function. I'll also see if there are any issues with the RSS feed.
Mute option
4/21/2023
Thanks for the support everyone. I've added a tip jar (goes to my PayPal business account) and also removed ads from the site. Still hoping to get back to the redesign I started a couple of years ago ...
Mute option
4/6/2023
I threw together a quick and dirty user option for hiding muted users and have set 22111 as muted. Go to "My Account" in the left side and check the last box. You will need to log out and back in for ...
Andy's posts are totally fine with me. I personally appreciate small developers contributing to this forum.
Also, while there has always been a special interest in outliners specifically, this site h...
RightNote's problems
11/23/2022
Also, I forgot to mention that even if the future of RN is only small fixes and improvements, that seems fine because to me it is already complete and mature.
There was the introduction of some proje...
New forum RSS feed URL
11/23/2022
Feedburner may be gone. I'll investigate alternatives to emailing forum posts.

RightNote's problems
11/23/2022
It's too bad, although I suppose not surprising.
I've been using RightNote as my main information manager for some time now. I've realized that I simply prefer "old school:" offline and native Window...
Workflowy - Updates? News?
12/16/2021
Also, WF's links/backlinks indeed seems to work well for the daily log approach of Roam, where you freely outline in the daily note and link to other pages to collect those writings on the linked page...
Workflowy - Updates? News?
12/16/2021
I've tried it and I like it. There is *slightly* more friction than in something like Obsidian/Logseq, because you do have to search for where in the outline to add the item as you are creating it.
D...
How do you deal with Privacy?
8/31/2021
I have reverted to using desktop apps with local data. Perhaps my situation is unique, but I find I don't really need mobile access.
Mapping System with Attributes
6/17/2021
Hey Matt,
Not sure so much about the visual aspect, but any tool that provides some version of clones (Workflowy, BrainStorm, Ultra Recall) seems to get one part of the way to an overall map, in that...
The last infoselect user in the world
3/23/2021
Sorry everyone - still working on the redesign and was planning on having the ability to block as one of the new features. I don't think it will be that hard to add, so I'll go ahead and add that to t...
Nice simultaneous posts about Noteliner :-D
Also, I *think* you can run Ecco from a USB stick, although I've never tried it. You can get the "installation" files from https://groups.io/g/EccoPro (aft...
I really liked Noteliner as a quick and simple single-pane outliner. I even stress-tested it by loading a handful of books from Gutenberg, and even with 1.2 million words in a file, it operated pretty...
Zoot revisited ... again
1/24/2021
Great idea, JDS. I tend to always fall for the everything bucket/kitchen sink trap, but if I limited Obsidian to only my own conceptual and exploratory writing and not clutter it with anything else, I...
Zoot revisited ... again
1/24/2021
@LB:
That's correct, there is no traditional calendar view. You can sync to Outlook, but I haven't done that in about 15 years. I usually only have 2-3 appointments per month, so I just use Google Cal...
