Notetaker defunct?
4/10/2015
Notetaker is on sale in the Apple App Store for Mac, but the latest update dates from Dec 2013.
OmniOutliner 4 is finally available
3/20/2015
Love your opening statement, Steve :-)
But Neo, which happens to be an outliner I really like, features columns, too.
I am sometimes puzzled that Neo2 is not more widely known. It may not have the ex...

Organizing lots of thought snippets
1/29/2015
I am correcting one detail of what I previously said: The "find similar notes" feature has returned to Tinderbox in the meantime but is located in a very different place (the "get info" popover).

Hi Paul
it's all good, I wasn't referring to you personally. Besides, it was just *my* opinion because I sometimes find it surprising how some articles stay around for ages while some others are forgo...

OT-Replacement for Papers from Mekentosj
10/29/2014
Hi Jim
this question is not OT in my opinion. Outlining is about structuring material and adding references is one particular (external) kind of structure you can give to your manuscript.
Reference ...
OT: Dropbox and Skydrive encryption
9/14/2014
Both Seafile and Owncloud run smoothly in a virtualized Linux environment. I tested two Linux distros, Ubuntu and Mint, in combination with Virtualbox. It takes a little time to set up everything but ...
OT: Dropbox and Skydrive encryption
9/12/2014
Hi Franz
I have used Owncloud and Seafile, two self-hosted Dropbox alternatives. In the end, I found Seafile more robust and since I was mostly interested in file syncing and not so much calendars et...
regular expressions tutorial

If you are using regex as a Mac user, there are two good alternatives that I am aware of:
Oyster

Collecting web pages 2.0

What Paul said.
Devonthink has been one of my most-used (and most continually used) apps for many years and does an admirable job at archiving webpages amongst other things. On the subject of webpage...
Maybe I am wrong but I read this mail as an indication that Gingko may not be profitable enough to support two people, which (if correct) might not be the fault of the Gingko team per se as many innov...
More MacBook experiences
7/2/2014
Regarding Notesuite:
What options does it offer to sync between two Macs and between Macs and iOS devices? Only iCloud or Dropbox and Webdav, too?
I heard mixed comments regarding the stability of N...

Does Notesuite retain the URL of the webpages that you archive just like Devonthink does? Just CRIMPing....

Thanks Jim,
very interesting although the quoted passage is only thought-provoking in the sense that I'd like to put my finger on why it is wrong more than anything else.
The assumption Holmes (Doyle...

I have a 2010 or 2011 (I forget) MBP with a 512MB SSD and never experienced the problem you are describing. But then again, I almost never reboot it, just put it to sleep normally. But even when...
Taking another look at Ulysses
5/16/2014
Ulysses III and Daedalus sync Markdown with not problem but pay attention to items making use of MarkdownXL, a superset of standard Markdown that only Ulysses uses (but not Daedalus). Inline Videos an...
Take a look at hackpad.com, too
It is insanely powerful yet easy to handle even for not very techie people. What I like most about it is that it also looks easy, and thus is as little intimidating as ...
Ariadne 6.1
3/18/2014
This came straight out of the blue for me and I thought I knew most outliners at least as long as they run on a Mac.
But as you say, the test version is unsuitable for even small-scale projects. That...

With all due respect, I find your posts rather hard to read at times and even when I do, it is often unclear what I am supposed to do.

Wiki tool for Windows and Mac?
1/31/2014
It may be worth noting that one of the side effects of using a single html file (even though it definitely does not feel like one) there need not be explicit support for Dropbox and the like. Anywhere...
Wiki tool for Windows and Mac?
1/31/2014
The new Tiddlywiki 5 is still not feature-complete but if someone was looking for a capable Wiki for Mac and Windows (and Android, iOS etc, too) I'd say this was it. It is open source, has a great for...
