Liquidtext review
12/10/2018
After a first try with one of the first iPads I have abstained from trying to employ a tablet professionally. In preparation of a new project coming up with lots of new literature to read, I am giving...
Liquidtext review
12/10/2018
Not about outlining per se but Liquidtext has been mentioned here enough to merit posting a link to an unusually informative review of using the iPad app Liquidtext to read, annotate Pdfs and actually...
What he says.
PS: Some reviews highlight the fact that annotations to PDFs stay where they are even when the PDF is zoomed in, thus losing their connection to the text that was annotated. Is this still the case wit...
As a scientist I have to read a lot of literature and as much as the idea to add searchable annotations to the PDFs that I am reading appeals to me, I really dislike having to read that literature on ...
Trunk Notes personal wiki closes up shop
11/14/2018
I am a paying customer of Trunknotes since basically forever, it still lives on the home screen of my iPhone. And I do disagree that there was a lack of interest or competition. Arguably, *any* note a...
Hagoromo
11/13/2018
I went ahead and contacted the developer, asking if there was a demo version. The answer was no, unfortunately, but he confirmed that the menu is localised (i.e. either English or Japanese) but there ...
Tinderbox Update (new version 7.5)
6/1/2018
It is highly unlikely that there will ever be one.
The number of developers is a finite resource (it seems n=1) and there are so many non-standard functions that will need to be coded from scratch t...

Gingko new business model
3/27/2018
The Gingko writing software has been discussed numerous times here already, has a new business model, now open source, pay what you want.
Adriano is putting a lot of energy into making the desktop app...
New Zettelkasten app

Oh, I am sorry, just realised that this is already discussed, my apologies!
Can this thread be removed for clarity?
New Zettelkasten app
3/15/2018
Found an email this morning n my inbox that might be of interest to a few people, advertising "The definitive note-taking app for heroic authors and prolific writers"

Instant inbox zero! Happened to me as well, not always desirable.

Nice looking website and informative as well, found the information I was looking for right there. Can install on my own server? Consider me even more interested, I'll test that once the self-hostable...
So, is ConnectedText really dead now?
11/29/2017
This kind of post (whether done in good faith or intended as a shortcut to a quicker answer) may have unintended consequences for single developers who first and foremost rely on word of mouth.

New version of Tinderbox now available
11/10/2017
Yes, Devonthink was precisely what I was thinking about.
Now that Tinderbox has unique Note URLs that allow addressing notes from outside of Tinderbox (incl Spotlight?) perhaps someone should sugges...
New version of Tinderbox now available
11/10/2017
Sure that is possible but I think the original question was if it was possible to have Spotlight return the actual note in question rather than just pointing to the Tinderbox file.
This is currently n...
Thanks for the answer, the privacy issue in combination with (to me) not so obvious ways to export the information were the main reasons I decided against TheBrain then although I found the interactio...
When I evaluated Thebrain some time ago I was put off by the fact that the only way to sync was through the company's servers.
Really, all my information unencrypted somewhere in the US?
I have no se...

Please, no apology needed. In fact, I was wondering what this thread was about as I am currently traveling without much access to the internet, hence each page load is excruciatingly slowly and I had...

I forgot to mention, macOS and iOS, but if true platform independence (web interface and Windows or Linux) is required then you are out of luck. Other than that, it is a mature option.

I would mention Quiver (http://happenapps.com), which incidentally may be what you meant as well
Hewson et al are not entirely wrong, in fact, he is right about the fact that someone must pay. If it is not you, then it must be somebody else (in many cases I suspect it may be a hopeful but underpa...
