Looks interesting. Unfortunately there is no iOS version…
I think how useful a feature is depends less on the feature and more on the implementation and how well integrated it is into the app. Tagging in Ulysses is useless for me because it is hidden in its ...

New Apps of Interest
4/6/2019
Just discovered a Todoist / Trello / TickTick alternative called ClickUp. Anyone tried it? First impression is that it is powerful but takes a bit of learning to set up the way you want. (Many feature...
How is search in Nimbus compared to Evernote? Can it search in attached PDFs as well? How good is the web clipper?
I agree. Even though Dynalist is now "usable" on iOS, the lousy web app often gets in the way of doing real work with it.
I don't know about Android, but I have read that Apple is working hard to mak...
Taskade

Forgot to add: Taskade also has a much nicer iOS interface than Dynalist. I don't think they will ever fully support iOS as they seem to be a web-first company.
Taskade

Hi John,
I have always been very active in discussing features and giving feedback on software that I use regularly; however, since Taskade does not yet meet my needs I will refrain from getting invo...
Experts can type in morse code at 60 wpm. Not easy to get there, but even the "normal" rate of regular users is about 20wpm which is what I suspect most people do on an iPhone... I just test myself on...
Dynalist MindMap View

New blog post from Dynalist announcing this feature:
https://blog.dynalist.io/2019-march-update/
Personally I find it unusable (the navigation jumps around too much. But even if I could use it, I al...
Taskade
4/2/2019
I check out Taskade regularly, but while there is a lot to like it still falls short compared with the tools I currently use: 2Do, Dynalist, and Todoist. Especially:
- Lack of a dedicated notes field...
So after spending a few weeks on this, trying various solutions I settled on .... Google Keep
First of all, I found that database style apps, such as TapForms or AirTable, etc. are not ideal. One of...
Dropbox Paper
3/18/2019
Been using Dropbox Paper again for a project and noticed that it has some basic folding. Headings can be folded. I know that is a big thing for some group members! Also, the paragraphs can be dragged ...
I totally endorse the central message of this Lifehacker article from last year:

Curious if list members with iPhones...
Ulysses v15 Released
3/12/2019
The new keyword management interface is sorely disappointing. It is a pop-up window rather than integrated into the main interface, and few other changes have been made to make it easier to manage key...
New Apps of Interest
3/11/2019
I thought it might be nice to have a thread devoted to sharing news about newly released apps, major updates to existing apps, and little known apps that someone has recently discovered. In that spiri...
I made a Dynalist outline of my "digital toolkit" which is basically an extended version of my earlier contribution to this thread.

Migrate from Dynalist to Outlinely
3/4/2019
Since this group is called Outliner Software, worth noting that the Goal Enforcer developers have a new (windows-only) outlining app:

I don't use windows, but I thoug...
Migrate from Dynalist to Outlinely
3/1/2019
I try to separate out functions to different apps and thus largely avoid using Dynalist as a task manager. I use it mostly for taking notes, organizing my syllabi, and brainstorming new projects. I do...
Migrate from Dynalist to Outlinely
2/28/2019
Since they (finally) fixed the iOS app, I now use Dynalist exclusively. I was lucky enough to be grandfathered in to the older subscription rate, so I pay for Dynalist Pro. I also purchased a lifetime...
Somewhat related, here are some decent free tools to get markdown links from webpages on Chrome and iOS:

Paperpile is working on improving the search of your highlights within the app - especially if you use their built in highlighting tools on the web or in their (beta) mobile app. But I like to work wi...

For me GTD is about NOT thinking about things I have to do. The benefit of GTD is precisely that it isn't one big list, but that it hides all the things that can be done "someday" or in a different co...
Dynalist on iOS actually working?

Was on a long flight and used it consistently without any freezes. Feeling hopeful...
