MyInfo 7 may be released soon 2/28/2020

Petko, as usual, is moving very slowly. MyInfo version 7 has still not been released to the general public (only current subscribers). I have been looking at it carefully, and it seems promising, but ...

RightNote 4.6 2/10/2020

I googled Myorderbox, and it seems to be an outfit that sells domain names. I noticed that its blog is defunct and its twitter feed hasn't been updated for a long time. This is pure conjecture, but m...

MyInfo 7 may be released soon 1/25/2020

As an old subscriber, I have been able to download version 7 of MyInfo, and I gather that others will be able to do so soon. Every developer has his own style. Petko has always been extremely cautiou...

MyInfo 7 may be released soon 1/15/2020

Version 7 is being offered today (at a generously discounted price) to current subscribers, and I gather that a more general release will be available within a week or two. I haven't had a chance to ...

CintaNotes once more 1/14/2020

This is just to report that the CintaNotes site is back online this morning, but with no explanation for its prolonged absence. Bill

CintaNotes once more 1/11/2020

Yes, thanks for pointing that out. I trust it will reappear eventually, but these small software outfits sometimes feel as if they are about to vanish without warning. I confess that, despite my gran...

For the last week or two the CintaNotes discussion forum has evaporated. Does anyone know what's going on?

Looking for streamlined offline Window note taker similar to ResophNotes but with rich formatting 12/6/2019

CintaNotes has much to offer -- powerful yet uncomplicated -- but unfortunately it doesn't handle images very well. The developer, Alex Jenter, reports that he is working on an improved version. No t...

Evernote's new editor 10/22/2019

An article about the effort to create a new editor in Evernote: I didn’t find it terribly illuminating, but it’s a lengthy piece with lots of encouraging photographs of programmers sitting...

Yes, sorry for the typo. Now that I have the spelling right, I see that there has been quite a bit of discussion on this forum about Joplin. So I hereby withdraw my pointless question!

Joblin 9/18/2019

Has anyone here tried Joblin? It looks interesting: Windows, Mac, mobile versions, imports Evernote files, etc.

CintaNotes once more 6/28/2019

For whatever it's worth, Alex Jenter has contributed 47 posts to the CintaNotes discussion forum since the beginning of April -- the most recent one dated yesterday. I'm not at all persuaded that he h...

CintaNotes once more 6/27/2019

Yes, the site seems to get hacked from time to time, and then in a few days the fake messages (usually just annoying advertisements for shoes) are erased by the moderator. Alex, the developer, does s...

CintaNotes once more 6/26/2019

Just a few more thoughts about CintaNotes, which has been discussed here occasionally: The usual comment about CN (which I too have made from time to time) is that it's suitable only for small, uncom...

The Case for Using a Paper Planner 4/1/2019

Yes, I agree. My handwriting has deteriorated badly in recent decades -- whether because of old age or constant use of keyboards, I'm not sure. But whatever the reason, I certainly don't want to retur...

CintaNotes 3/14/2019

I agree that CintaNotes's glacial pace of development is frustrating, but then that's true of some of my other software as well. These little one- or two-person operations, often in distant parts of t...

CintaNotes 3/14/2019

You can see an earlier prototype of version 4 that Alex posted on the CN forum: http://cintanotes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2357 I too hope that we will be able to escape from the pure white not...

CintaNotes 3/13/2019

This is just to report that Alex Jenter continues to make modest but steady progress on CintaNotes: the latest release is 3.13, and he says that he will issue version 4 (offering a much improved inter...

Evernote's new CEO 1/4/2019

Ian Small has contributed a post to the Evernote blog that strikes me as surprisingly candid: https://evernote.com/blog/looking-ahead-evernotes-priorities-2019/ He describes in some detail Evernote'...

OCR in RightNote 12/20/2018

Just a small postscript to this (slightly silly) discussion I wonder how many (Windows) note-taking programs are actually capable of doing OCR of textual images? The only ones I'm familiar with are E...

OCR in RightNote 12/13/2018

Rael tells me that RightNote definitely does not OCR texts in images. That sent me back to RN to do a series of experiments, and I think I can now explain how this fluke happened. Some of the images I...

OCR in RightNote 12/13/2018

I agree that this is all rather mysterious. What I offered here was an accurate description of my own experience, but I have no idea why others are getting different results. For what it's worth, I'm ...

OCR in RightNote 12/11/2018

Playing around with RightNote this afternoon, I made a pleasant discovery, and I'm mentioning it here because others may have perhaps overlooked this feature too. If you right-click on a text image (...
