Notesnook Privacy-Focused Notetaking
3/17/2023
Hello all,
As yet another CRIMPer, I have tried many online note-taking apps over the past few years. I am a long-time Evernote user (still subscribed), but moved to Standard Notes a few years ago on ...
Web Clipper
6/29/2021
Thank you for recommending the SingleFile extension - it works great! I'm going to use it to store html pages directly in TheBrain (with all page content indexed!)

I also write software documentation, and moved away from Word a few years ago to markdown and then, more recently, to asciidoc. If you are comfortable writing in markdown, there are many online tools ...
Anyone using Zettelkasten?
4/6/2019
I've been testing Zettlr (multi-platform, open-source, markdown-based, notes organizer) for this purpose. See Hendrik's blog post about it here: https://www.zettlr.com/post/what-is-a-zettelkasten

It seems that your use-case is becoming more and more popular these days. As a professor, I'm in a similar situation of content production and curation (and textbook authoring). Either self-produced o...
Thanks for stepping in Chris. Yes, I use separate namespaces for each course, which also allows me to assign user rights (ACL) based on their course enrollment. I haven't used the Tag plugin or Cloud/...
Just to confirm what has been said already, Dokuwiki is an excellent alternative to ConnectedText. I made the move about two years ago to a local instance on my NAS for private documents and notes...
myBase 7.1 Released
4/20/2018
After many 7.x beta test iterations, myBase has finally reached a stable 7.1 release. I've been impressed with its handling of markdown and HTML content, but will need some additional time to really t...
Next version of MyInfo
5/21/2015
For my Linux boxes, I've been using myBase from http://wjjsoft.com/ -- They just introduced the Linux version with this last update to 7. It works very nicely, but I would prefer to use MyInfo, based ...
BoardThing looks very nice -- wow, I could even see using it with my tablet in-class for teaching.
Thanks for the heads-up!
Glen
Interesting, I hadn't heard of StickySorter before, but it seems workable. I've downloaded and will give it a closer look. With respect to the course, I'm doing a ton of curating right now (Cintanotes...
Hmmm..., I own Scrapple as well and find it great for simple mapping, but it isn't quite there for this application (imho). I also use Google Keep on my tablet, but haven't thought much about it on th...
Looking for a "better" solution for the following scenario:
I have a meeting with 5 other professors, laying out a new course progression on digital marketing. We have identified 40+ weekly topics (e...
A step back into Linux: LXLE
4/4/2015
Strangely enough, I just did a similar move. Purchased a refurbished Dell Latitude E6420 (i5 2nd gen with 4GB+250GB and nVidia 4200m) for approx. $200CAD. The machine came direct from Dell with Win7Pr...
Your top 3 tools?
2/26/2013
In my job as a teaching professor (as opposed to more research-oriented), here are my top 3 tools:
1. ConnectedText - I also use Evernote and WebResearch for capturing & storing content
2. TheBrain -...
OutWiker 1.7
12/2/2012
I remember evaluating this program awhile back and moving on after some buggy experiences. However, I've tested this latest version in Windows, Linux Mint 14, and Ubuntu 12.04 and it works very nicely...
Windows 8 Pro, outliners and PIMs
11/26/2012
On my work machine, I dual-boot between Windows 7 & Linux Mint 14 Nadia (Cinnamon edition).
On my home machine, I triple boot between Windows 7, Windows 8, & Ubuntu 12.04LTS.
More and more I find th...
Notes in one place - Wrong?
3/3/2012
It's interesting to me that these conversations often reflect David Allen's GTD principle of selecting a "trusted system" (but not necessarily a single system, if I'm not mistaken.)
A trusted system...
Crimping in the 80s and 90s
1/30/2012
Sometimes, I'll go back to the old websites to see what's going on with some of my early-2000 PIMs.
Besides Lotus Organizer and Franklin Agenda (I think that's what the Franklin Covey system was cal...
Triumphant return of Smereka TreeProjects
12/15/2011
Just wondering something. I typically attach PDFs to notes/topics/items (e.g., import journal articles and then take notes on my readings.) However, I have found that relatively few tools index the at...
Biblioscape 9 - the end of searching ?
11/17/2011
I use Citavi as a bibliograhic referencing tool, not a writing tool. Therefore, in this workflow approach, I use it similar to how I used to work with Biblioscape and EndNote. I collect my references ...
Document Management Software Question
11/12/2011
I also use the ScanSnap S300 - lovely little scanner that works well with Evernote, but you're right in saying that the software is inferior. Recently I phoned Fujitsu support to get an upgrade to the...
Re: Citavi + Scrivener
I am using this combination now (although still early in my learning curve). Seems to work similar to EndNote, in that:
1) I have both programs open and running on a dual mon...
Biblioscape 9 - the end of searching ?
10/31/2011
Well, I wasn't impressed. I moved from EndNote to IdeaMason to Biblioscape 8, and was very happy with the performance and features in that version. However, in beta-testing (and running the final cand...
The one missing feature of Noteliner that drives me absolutely nuts is not being able to CTRL+SHIFT+left or right arrow to select a word or group of words. Arrrggghhh!
