It's hard to believe we're just at the beginning of tools like Claude Code (and others) in the hands of the general public. What'll we have in a year, two years?
I've played with Claude Code, but I...

OmniOutliner 6

OmniOutliner 6
11/6/2025
I'm glad to see OmniOutliner is now a universal app. In the past it was a pain to get files back and forth from the desktop to the mobile app.
"Outliner" always seemed like a misnomer. It's reall...
Tokie.is - inline notes in finder..

It's an interesting concept. I don't like the file browser. Seems hacky and missing some basic view options. For my money, I think PathFinder does better with that part. I don't have a case fo...
I bounce around. For focus solely on composition, I'll use TextEdit (or Notepad on Windows). It's just about the text in those apps, and little to distract. And they're free.
If I want to turn ...

It was reading Dr Andus' posts here more than a decade ago that led me to ConnectedText. It was a lovely piece of software backed by a superb community. Even after development ceased (a sad story)...

It is usually possible with ChatGPT, Claude, etc., to tell it to tone down or eliminate entirely the "attaboy, great question" type of response.
Like, @satis, i've had some fascinating conversation...

Well stated, Bill. Thank you. I also keep track of developments in AI and tech in general, and I do hands-on exploration of all the models as they evolve. If anything, robust skepticism about worl...

It's possible @eastgate is misreading the gist of this thread. If AI is the culmination of technology in our times, then healthy questioning and skepticism is a very good thing. That's all that's g...

Working with **all** AI models is not really the case, out of the box, with Tinderbox 11. There's a built-in MCP to work with Claude Desktop. It's certainly possible to roll one's own integration w...
