I know I harp on this constantly, but this is exactly why I don't like web apps or "The Cloud" and wish they would stop being considered the only way forward. There are many disadvantages but this is ...
Has anyone gotten into the new Wunderlist?
12/21/2012
So how much does this cost, if anything? I don't see anything about that on the site and the old one was free.
When it comes to apps that require syncing with the company's servers, my concern is "S...
Single-pane outliners
12/18/2012
Tried Bonsai and damn, it looks like this an opportunity the developer missed out on badly. I never really gave it a decent look because it's marketed as the desktop component for a to-do list app on ...
So, this is EccoExt thing is pretty neat. Though, it claims to add hoisting but doesn't explain how one does this. Anyone know?
The forgotten outliner: TKOutline
12/14/2012
I was just looking at TKOutline again last night, realizing it's one of the few Windows outliners that supports OPML.
It would be near perfect for my purposes if had hoisting. Too bad it seems devel...
New version of Resophnotes out
10/20/2012
So, Resophnotes ( http://www.resoph.com ) has an update.
I can't say for certain, but it feels faster. It also now lets you specify a global hotkey for New Note rather than just opening the program....
I've only toyed with it and not done anything serious, but CamStudio (free, open source) seems pretty decent.
Knowsy Notes
9/19/2012
Lets see, plain text notes, markdown support, found a way to make spreadsheets while remaining plain text and NOT a web app.
I haven't even installed the trial and I already want it.
Outliner/PIM roll call: Fall 2012

In the case of Postbox v.s. Thunderbird, I'm not sure about reliability but I find Postbox in general more pleasant to use.
The search is awesome, going through a large volume of e-mails in less tha...

Oh, there's also the mobile front which is also very much in flux, as I'm facing the reality that it's time to ditch my beloved Blackberry. Over there I'm doing everything through the Dropbox app, whi...
Outliner/PIM roll call: Fall 2012
9/16/2012
My set up is in a bit of a transition at the moment. I'm attempting to work with an all plain-text system, though on Windows where it's far less trendy.
I'm using UV Outliner as a writing outliner. ...
WorkFlowy Single Pane Outliner
9/3/2012
I've tried it in the past and it looks pretty slick and could be useful, but I can't see using it.
I'm honestly not a huge fan of web apps in general (and really hate that everything seems to be mov...

MyInfo at 'bitsdujour'
4/20/2012
I'm playing with the demo right now. It seems kind like Zoot-lite?
It's a good looking app, but I'm not entirely sure what I would use it for. Anyone have any use cases?
Definitely not as a journa...
most facile outliner
4/15/2012
I'm starting to wonder if Windows software in general is dead. Seems like all anyone makes anymore are web apps with pretty limited features.
I mean, what was the last piece of Windows software, PIM...

It just occurred to me that we haven't done this thread in a while.
So, what is everyone's set-up circa 2011?
For general outlining, I'm alleviated my envy of Mac outliners with the fabulous and f...
So, it's not quite related to outlining, but I think this web app has potential to be extremely useful with regards to personal information management.

What software do you use/would recommend for storing text you may not refer to again for possibly more than a year, but want to keep somewhere it can be easily found when the time comes?

...seems it was last updated in 2009
That's insanely awesome.
At the same time, I'm also glad to see Mr. Fallows back writing geeky posts about PIM software.
Scrivener on Windows

There doesn't appear to be any Non-Fiction templates. Is this normal, or are they just missing due to it being a beta?
Here's how a REAL man outlines
