Arguably repeating tasks don't really make sense as a basic feature for a kanban board app like Trello (I use Trello for some things and have never needed it there), but it is a basic feature for a tr...

I see that not only are recurring tasks still not implemented, but once they are implemented they will be a "pro" feature which requires a $7 month recurring fee. That's disappointing for a feature th...

Oh, sorry about that. Somehow google led me to the wrong page...

I believe he is the developer of InfoQube and is referring to the editor in that app:

New App: Zeksa (Web only)
3/5/2020
Zeksa is an interesting new writing tool that combines a workflowy-like outliner with the ability to output to formatted PDF the way Scrivener or Ulysses do.

Discussion on Reddit:...
I guess you know this, but the installers for various versions of MORE are available on outliners.com:

What a great program that was!
I recommend 2Do, Todoist, or Things for managing tasks. I prefer 2Do because I depend on features like separate start dates and due dates which are not handled as well by any other system I've tried. ...

FS notes can handle them as well.

Good to know. Thanks.

Their free plan is very generous, but I too think they should have a mid-range option for students and others who would like to pay for more but can't afford the full plan. I think a lot of people are...

Glad to see start dates! But still no recurring tasks? One thing I really like in 2Do is the ability to set a recurring task whose start date is automatically set as X days before the due date...
What Reference Manager are you using?

Still using Paperpile. The iOS app (in beta) keeps getting better. They also have a beta MS Word Plugin, but haven't tried that because I don't use word. They claim that the technology behind the Word...
Fsnotes 3

FS Notes continues to improve. It already has file encryption, tagging (and sub-tagging), and even some features you won't find in Bear like git style versioning.

So here is the whole story. Dynalist developer says it is a Mubu clone, not Dynalist:

Given that Dynalist started as a Workflowy clone and then evolved to surpass it, I welcome this Dynalist clone and hope to see them evolve in new directions as well. Since I don't personally find mind...
Once Dynalist fixed their mobile app I stopped using Mubu. Dynalist’s mobile app still isn’t great, but it is good enough and they improve it regularly. Also I am not willing to store my d...

Markdown will still be supported. Users will be able to choose.

Well, they might not replace Intel altogether, but simply supplement them for certain features:

This is all because Apple is moving away from dependence on Intel chips, no other reason. This was a long time in coming.

Is there really a mac desktop (offline) version? The front page doesn't list it, but I saw a link on another page which didn't work. It said it wasn't available in my app store/region (US)...

I use Paperpile to organize PDFs, PDF Expert to highlight and annotate. (Although Paperpile's built in PDF reader - in beta - is getting better.) I then export annotations to Dynalist for organizing ...
For reference managers I can make two recommendations:
