New logical outlining tools
4/13/2025
GPT4o claims to know how to apply the Toulmin hexagon framework, and can produce results similar to the Miller-Altshule template for Tana. Not surprising, since the Tana template uses ChatGPT (and, o...
Readwise sync added to Craft

The most recent beta of Craft introduced syncing notes and highlights with Readwise. Nice update.

Collaboration Frustration

I hope it helps meet your needs, Ken.
Craft at first blush looks like a sort of Pinterest wanna-be, but under the surface are some interesting features.
Collaboration Frustration
3/16/2025
If you or one of your collaborators has a Craft license (or a Setapp subscription, from which Craft can be installed), then it is pretty simple to create and share a document that anyone can edit whet...
Tana public launch

Word on Tana's Slack instance is that the product will come out of beta on February 3.

Web, Mac, Windows, iOS apps -- Android release is lagging
I've used Tana since the initial b...
I'm sympathetic to Stephen Zeoli's thoughts about "workflow". To me, it smacks of Taylorism, which is not a good model for intellectual pursuits. I don't think the term is going way in so-called "...
I've walked up to Scrintal's front door many times, then walk away because I don't want to provide credit information and pay to check out the app.
MindNode Classic, and now MindNode Next
12/4/2024
Putting documents in a "database" synced with CloudKit is retrograde motion, in my opinion. I've struggled with apps that use CloudKit sync, which in my experience is unreliable. I see no benefit ...
MindNode Classic, and now MindNode Next
11/27/2024
I installed MindNode Next. It is essentially the same as MindNode Classic. The only major new feature requires an Apple Vision Pro. (Spatial Brainstorming) There is a subscription program that ...
MindNode Classic, and now MindNode Next
11/24/2024
MindNode documents can be kept anywhere the user wants to store them. They are individual, stand-alone documents, and not part of a database.

Obsidian web clipper just released
11/21/2024
I appreciate Obsidian Web Clipper's extensive configurability and the web highlighter feature. I think I'll be able to use the Clipper instead of Readwise Reader in many cases. Coupled with indexi...
An "online first" app, based in China, with a Privacy Policy as leaky as a sponge. Sorry, no.
Text Block Author
11/5/2024
There's mention of "Text Block Author" here, in post at least 14 years old, containing a dodgy link that Safari refused to open. So, maybe TBA is deader than dead?
https://textblockauthor.blogspot....
Craft (craft.do) has a very good web app that is almost 100% consistent with its Mac and Windows versions, as well as its mobile versions. Moving being web and non-web is a seamless experience, IMO.

MarginNote 4 is now available
5/19/2024
I see no PDF export options in MN4 except the flattened file, and an export package (a type of Apple folder) for backup purposes.
MarginNote 4 is now available
5/19/2024
I found a link inside MN4 to a demo resource for this version.

MarginNote 4 is now available

Don’t bother looking for info on MN4 on their website. The site hasn’t be updated yet.
MarginNote 4 is now available
5/18/2024
After years and years of delays and promises, MarginNote 4 is now available. Pricing structure is a mess, but for $49.99 U.S. it is available as a “Max” version — meaning it can be...
Outliners indexing external links
4/28/2024
I would add MarginNote to the list. (Mac and Apple mobile platforms, only.)
MarginNote can index, in its internal library, any number of PDF, ePUB or other documents. The library can be searched ...
Preferred data/attributes in OPML files
4/16/2024
Robin, OPML is the most non-standard standard around. For interoperability, which I looks like you're going for, I suggest starting with sticking close to Dave Winer's original spec:

Splitting Items
4/10/2024
Maurice, actually Zavala on macOS uses shift-option-return for Split, not shift-cmd-return. And works nicely.
Split, moving the split text to a new row, using the same keyboard shortcut as Zavala (...
LiquidText is very nice on devices with input devices like Pencil or the like. On keyboard-only devices it's a PITA. It's also become pricey -- $175/year for a subscription. The subscription isn'...
