When the apocalypse is upon us I will probably still be trying to find the perfect outlining app to record the last days ...
stay safe everyone!
Outliner for granular writing?

Oh, seems that Zeksa is currently down. Hopefully the developer will get it back up again...
Outliner for granular writing?
4/4/2020
I posted about such a tool recently: Zeksa.

Personally I use Ulysses for this:

Dynalist does not have great output formattin...
Explanation of the Firefox issue here. (It is back up.)

So I got some clarity on the sync issue:
"The mobile app only requires the wifi connection on the first sync.
It should also work when using the phone’s tethering, at least it works for me just...
I give 1 star reviews if I can't use the product as advertised, or if I attempt to get an answer from support and it isn't answered. In this case both are true. Note that the review is only of the iOS...
Memex (formerly WorldBrain) is "A privacy focused extension to annotate, search and organize what you've seen online." Works in Chrome and Firefox and has mobile apps. I'm still trying to figure it ou...
I finally tried Roam and am really impressed. What I really love is that you don't have to move items to file them away. This is a big problem with outliners and task managers, where you constantly ha...
Taskade

That is a business model, but it isn’t the one Taskade claims to be using. (As they’ve discussed in several places as well as what is fairly obvious from the other features they reserve fo...

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...
Dynalist goes awry?

Oh, sorry about that. Somehow google led me to the wrong page...
Dynalist goes awry?

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. ...
Hierarchical tags

Here is how they work in Bear:

FS notes can handle them as well.

Good to know. Thanks.
Dynalist Pro 50% off promotion
12/22/2019
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...

12/18/2019
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?
12/4/2019
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
12/1/2019
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.
