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...
Dynalist goes awry?

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:

In any case, I ...
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:
1. Paperpile. This is web-based, but they are working on a stand-alone app that will eventually allow you to do everything in a plain text edito...
Some other options:
MediaWiki (what powers Wikipedia)
Dynalist (can format links with Markdown and make outlines accessible via the web)
Pinboard.in (can import lists of links, tag them, and share ...
RFC - New Software Project: Infosqueezer

My main concern is workflow. It is hard to get a sense of this without mockups of the actual UX, but it sounds like things will be divided into "cards."? One of the things I like about both Ulysses a...

Back to Workflowy from Dynalist
9/8/2019
I prefer Dynalist, but agree that if I were just selecting between the two iOS apps right now I might use Workflowy instead. It has been clear from the beginning that the Dynalist developers don't rea...
Liquidtext review
8/20/2019
I've tried both.
LiquidText lacks an iPhone app, which I need.
Margin Note annoyingly exports to specific apps rather than just support standards like OPML, Markdown, Txt, etc. which makes it impos...
This is in the Drafts forum, but the scripts are to work with Ulysses. I haven't tried this yet, but thought others would be interested:

Interesting app with strange name
8/2/2019
Sorry, I didn't look carefully. The code doesn't seem to be included in this repository. Indeed, the developer just seems to be using it as free web hosting. Still, this seems perfectly legitimate, an...
Interesting app with strange name

Don't see why the github account doesn't count as a web presence. It isn't a "write up" but the actual code, with a support forum where users and other developers can file issues... IMH this is one of...
Fast Software, the Best Software

I still fondly remember how fast MORE felt when it first came out.
Bookends Replacement Needed

Paperpile's iOS app is still in beta, but it is already quite good and should be in public beta by the end of the year.

I liked this essay a lot. Fits with my philosophy as well, although I don't use the apps he uses (except Ulysses):

It should be a much more substantive change than that. See the FAQ:

Pretty sure they would make a big announcement when it is released, and nothing is yet on their blog. The macOS and iOS apps are still at version 1. However, it does look like they might have jumped t...

I find the current user interface overly complex and difficult to use, but version 2 is in beta and should come out this summer. I am not a beta tester, but I will look at Clickup again after they rel...
