Did you all go insane? The creator is clearly identifiable -- among other things he is one of the co-inventors of RSS and runs a serious data analysis company. Those 'spyware threats' are standard leg...

More on Linux (so okay, not strictly relevant to outlining - perhaps) 5/9/2018

But the MindRaider author seems to work on a new project (http://www.mindforger.com/) which is supposed to be a "thinking book" and "markdown IDE". Hard to say what it does exactly, though.

More on Linux (so okay, not strictly relevant to outlining - perhaps) 5/9/2018

Ok, but since Dr. Andus uses Windows and wants to CRIMP with Linux software I only considered outliners that run on Linux but not on Windows, which -- to my knowledge -- are none. - Notecase Pro is m...

best outliner you use? (2018) 5/9/2018

Honestly, I think software you should be a lot more expensive. While there is a constant flow of new software and Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon etc. can claim that they have X million apps availabl...

More on Linux (so okay, not strictly relevant to outlining - perhaps) 5/9/2018

To my knowledge there aren't any "Linux Outliners". If you can install Vim or Emacs you could use their outline packages, though. Can the Chromebook run Java apps, like zkn3 (Daniel Luedecke's Zettelk...

best outliner you use? (2018) 4/11/2018

I'm sorry but I have to say it: Emacs org-mode is the best outliner. At least on Windows there is really no competition -- which has been really frustrating for me -- and it doesn't look like there ...

Sounds like you're more interested in analyzing your notes than retrieving particular pieces. Maybe you should look at topic modeling software. That's quite easy to do when you're data is in plain tex...

x1 is a lot more user friendly (and cheaper), https://www.x1.com/products/x1_search/ But it really depends what exactly you want to search for where. Questions like: what is the best app with search ...

Gingko Desktop 3/29/2018

Funny how this started over being scared to use a credit card on the internet. Apparently we're in the early 2000s again. But then also being unsatifsfied with the option to pay with bitcoin -- which ...

MindManager back for Mac 3/24/2018

Conditional on the fact that there actually are "visual persons" this would be true. However, it doesn't seem that people should be categorized by their learning/working "style". Of course, they can b...

MindManager back for Mac 3/24/2018

Also to the "off-topic" discussion. Many people don't realize this but the big money for tech companies is (like for any other company) in government contracts. Which is probably why the classic OneNo...

MindManager back for Mac 3/24/2018

I also thought about using MindManager for project planning / task management etc. I think it's very useful for that purpose because it basically combines mind mapping with a lot of functions that are...

Habitica, anyone? 3/11/2018

I did, but I wouldn't recommend it. I think the distinction between habits, daily tasks, and todos is quite useful. However, it doesn't work as a real todo-list because the navigation (sorting, filter...

ConnectedText - moribund? 2/24/2017

I tried to sign up to the forum a couple months ago. Never got approved -- kind of discouraging.

New unofficial workflowy app 11/1/2016

For me, the main problem with workflowy is that they have a stupid freemium model. Premium users are basically paying for the free users bandwith. That's the case with a lot of apps. But workflowy tak...
