Organizing lots of thought snippets
1/26/2015
There are plenty of solutions for capturing lots of notes. The tricky part is finding relationships among those notes. On the one hand, techniques like tagging can help -- especially with those note...

You might be thinking of a Zettelkasten.
You could read Manfred Kuehn's discussion of Zettelkastens at

or Dr. Kuehn's trans...

CmapTools from

has some updates. There is now an iPad app (CmapTools), a cloud, and and update to the desktop app (new version 6) that takes advantage of the Cmap cloud for sha...

I don't read the Hello, Peek and Blackberry announcements on the blog as anything more than ordinary culling of little-used features, combining older features with new products, and eliminating suppor...
What is Tinderbox? Interesting summary
1/22/2015
Thanks Steve. I've read that new how-to from Eastgate. It is very interesting and helpful. Because it is a detailed step-wise walk-through for creating a complicated document, it is worth spending ...

If I could delete my opinions I would. This forum doesn't support that. So, I'll just shutup.
What is Tinderbox? Interesting summary
1/20/2015
Maybe a small industry?
Tinderbox is sui generis -- there's not much out there that supports unconstrained making of metadata for each note. The only thing close in OS X computerland I can think o...

Having now had some time to spend working with Keep Everything, I don't think I would use it. The markdown is nice and crisp; the style options adequate. Converting web pages to "articles" (the in-...

LOL - my first laptop had a black-and-white screen and 20 MB (yes, MB) of disk space. I spent half my time scraping bits off it, defragging (who does that anymore?), and putting stuff on floppies. ...
Fundamental shifts of position

Never one to pass up a good CRIMP, I've downloaded Keep Everything (lite) to check it over this weekend.
I guess I have a different idea of "Everything" -- web pages, tweets, etc., are very little o...

I wonder what "safe" means? The home page blurb refers to "Make safe your data with one of the available encryption algorithms. You can save your data also without cryptography, if you plan to share ...
Sublime Text is a plain text environment. On OS X, if you have Marked 2 -- a tool for rendering and exporting markdown documents -- then you can install the Marked Bonus Pack. Among other things, th...
The beauty of Sublime Text (2 and 3) is the enormous number of customization packages available for it. First, install Package Control

And there's also Dragon Dictate for iOS
I use Dictate + Connect on my iPhone -- there's also an Android version.
http://www.dictate-connect.com
Over here, I dictate a note and it is automatically uploaded to Dropbox as a .wav. Later, on ...
That's inappropriate -- I believe this forum isn't a place for trolling. I enjoy Stephen Z's blog and have learned many useful things over the years, including his post above.

That's an interesting market.
The container feature reminds me of Tinderbox and Vue -- and the graphical bits, Curio.

As a solution to the iPad keyboard problem I've been gaining proficiency with Nuance's Swype keyboard. iOS 8 supports custom keyboards, and Swype has been ported to iOS -- many smartphones have suppo...

Stephen Z's reviews are excellent -- and influenced my own adoption of Curio.
As mentioned -- the basics of Curio are straightforward. The interface metaphor is similar to OneNote, so if you have ex...

I agree with Stephen Zeoli's overall assessment -- I believe that on desktops in 2014 not much is new from a CRIMPing perspective.
On OS X, in 2015 I will be looking forward to a possible new versi...

Thank you for mentioning this. At your suggestion, I tried it. It is indeed minimalistic -- which can be a good thing. These days I am thinking that "cross-platform" needs to include iOS and Andr...
Thank you for your thoughts, Robin. It's always helpful to hear from someone who has been there/done that.
