iOS 11 -- a CRIMP is coming on
6/6/2017
After viewing the slick videos on Apple's site, I feel a CRIMP coming on with iOS 11. And the new iPad Pro 10.5" is looking pretty good.

- A real dock with m...
Gingko Desktop - beta testers wanted
6/2/2017
Nice.
Interesting -- clicking "Buy License" from the help menu takes us to page with "Pay $90".
Let's assume that's just a placeholder since $90 would be a bit steep for a text processor.
Very nice Jay. The integration with calendar is helpful and makes the outline more powerful.
Will you be introducing multiple pane and other desktop features to iOS. It seems Moo.do best features...

Sony had an E-ink device a few years ago -- Digital Paper -- and discontinued it. Though reportedly they will be selling a similar, new product in Japan soon. I believe Digital Paper was configured...

Bill -- save your pennies for a "real" computer that isn't an island, and get that iPad Pro + Pencil you know is what you really want.
Notes Plus now for iPhone

Notes Plus, a pretty good note taker for iPad has recently been made available for iPhone. On iPad it is a good companion for the Pencil -- and has been on my home screen for a long time. It also ha...

A couple of statements on reMarkable's site are interesting

Things 3 is released
5/22/2017
I agree. I believe the value task-manager app is amplified when its task data can be integrated with other apps - especially in macOS. Things has always been more a stand-alone app than OF, and v3 i...

Things 3 doesn't have start / end dates (both dates) for individual tasks or projects. For projects, it has "Deadlines" -- the date the project should be completed by. Tasks within projects have d...

Ah, so it is. Seems there is a 20% discount until 5/25 -- they are selling only thru the Mac App Store now so this pricing makes up for not having upgrade pricing.

Things 3 is released

Things 3 has been released for Mac and iOS. This to-do app is not an outliner, but it does offer list-making.
The developer, Cultured Code, offers scripts for importing from other task manager apps...
Oops -- it was "SpiralBound" not "Spiral Notebook" -- the developer's site has vanished.
I've used NoteCard and TaskCard occasionally. I like the metaphor. There was an old app, Spiral Notebook, that operated similarly -- but is defunct on Sierra.
One disconcerting aspect of NoteCard...
Just what is an outliner?

I think I'll stop here, permanently, since it seems I have completely lost the ability to understand what people are posting here, and torquing everyone off as a result.

Just what is an outliner?

Someone in another thread suggested the way to know if something was a "dedicated outliner" was to apply the Potter Stewart test: "I know it when I see it".
The problem is, we're dealing with user in...
Ah, I get it. It's an entirely subjective classification with no objective validation.

So, where can we find the canonical definition of "dedicated outliner"? I was a little surprised to find my entries summarily deleted because the list owner deemed them irrelevant. Maybe this proj...
Nice project. Thanks for getting it going.
I added Index Card. Also added some info about sync between platforms and between apps.
Tricky. Normal Apple UI guidelines would put the feature be in the File menu.

Had tried it out. If it has an Evernote importer, the feature must be well hidden. I don't see it in the app. The blog mentions 'Evernote-style rich text".
Looks like it has promise. Outlines...
Interesting. Thanks for the tip. Reminds me of Quiver with its compositing of several document types.
Outlinely lowers iOS subscription price

Outlinely offers to export rich text outlines as OPML but does a lousy job, because it encodes HTML tags into the lines it exports -- it's a mess.
The best way to get a usable OPML outline out of Out...
ConnectedText - moribund?

Guess I'm just willing to give an owner the benefit of the doubt that what they say about themselves is true.

Thanks for that link, @Dr Andus.
