Just what is an outliner?
5/5/2017
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.

Well, for some sorts of "productivity", yes, that's an appropriate term. Usually here it is CRIMPing

I don't see a switch -- I bought Pro. Of course most of the bits and pieces can be turned off individually -- but there's no obvious global switch. (Early days -- it could be staring me in the face...

New mind-mapping app
4/5/2017
I've tried it. It's more like MindNode than Xmind. And it is minimally functional. The iOS version is less functional than the macOS. They are both more proof-of-conceptish than mind mapping for...
Why are tags considered binary?

... and of course databases are structured with attributes. A nice personal solution for making what you seem to be looking for is Airtable.
Why are tags considered binary?
3/31/2017
I would imagine there is no standard for "tag" or "tagging". There are some ancient RFCs on the topic, but they are somewhat technical (e.g., how to handle tags in UNICODE).
Developers have differe...
NotePlan iOS
3/30/2017
Eduard Metzger has an iOS beta in play for NotePlan -- a very cool porting of the macOS app to the iOS platform. Sync via iCloud. NotePlan keeps getting better and better.

Then in my opinion you're better off with DTTG. DTTG can do download on demand -- in that case it only syncs metadata (name, tags, etc.) but not the actual file until you tell DTTG to get it for you...

OutlineEdit 1.7 & User’s Guide
3/20/2017
Great product, Robin. All that work for free? You need to get some money from us!!!
The Quick Look is very good.
My favorite feature is the Safari OE Marker extension. Very useful.
It's interesting to realize ATPM/ATPO are over 20 years old, and have been gone these five years already. Mark is correct, in my opinion: ATPM/ATPO is a wonderful source of guidance for Mac users, d...

OutlineEdit 1.6

Robin has issued an updated version 1.7 that adds QuickLook -- which is really useful in Mac apps like DEVONthink and Curio that use Quick Look to display the contents of imported files.
Still free. ...

NoteTaker is good, but always on the verge of death. It hasn't received an update for years. Never had a viable iOS companion, if that matters.
I've never felt interested in having a single note ...
