Thanks for that, it does look interesting. Are there any other options to export? I'd prefer...
I haven't tried it, just watched the video. It seems like a cross between Surfulater-type web page capture, sticky notes, and browsing history tracking software. It has some neat features. But I'm won...

Interesting question. It depends on whether we consider CRIMPing a form of addiction,...
de-CRIMPing
11/7/2015
I was thinking what to call the process when you decide to let go off some of the 'fruits' of your CRIMPing: de-CRIMPing or un-CRIMPing?
This is a new experience for me. It came about because my 5-yr...

Has Smartdown died?
11/4/2015
That's a bit of a dramatic headline: any evidence of the final demise? Both of their websites seem to be still up:
http://www.aflava.com/ (Windows)

I think MotionTwelve probably means Pierre's EditGrid list, which is sadly defunct:

Now here is something different: an actual book (that is not a manual) about an outliner! And not just any outliner, but WorkFlowy!

Still using Office 2010 over here. I didn't like the aesthetics of 2013 (besides the blurry font problem), and I literally don't know what I'm missing with 2013 or 2016, as I'm not missing anything (i...
