Workflowy updates their code
12/16/2018
Major update to the code running workflowy. This explains why there hasn't been much in the way of major visible changes since they hired new developers and announced a renewed commitment to updating ...
I personally highlight text as I read it, then export all my highlights from each book or article as a single document to an outliner which supports tags (Dynalist or Outlinely). I then structure the ...
Outlinely uses files that are in its own variant of OPML stored in iCloud and supports some markdown formatting (but not all).
Trunk Notes personal wiki closes up shop
11/14/2018
Agree with others here. I tried to use it several times, but gave up because of the lack of a decent desktop companion.
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
10/29/2018
Worth pointing out that a pro plan with Dynalist (as expensive as it is - I signed up when it was cheaper than it is now) gives you daily backups on Dropbox in a standard format, so you always have lo...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
10/29/2018
It has been about a year since I wrote this last post, and nothing much has changed. Outlinely shows some signs of life, and has a new lifetime subscription, but many of the things that bother me abou...
Quire.io (free until mid-2019)
10/26/2018
Love that it has both start and end dates and supports sharing and multiple platforms from the beginning. Already puts it ahead of many others. But I find the UX clumsy and confusing. While I could fi...

Stumbled onto this self-hosted outliner. Probably will never use it myself, but thought I'd share:

Drafts for macOS beta
10/17/2018
Requires a subscription to Drafts Pro on iOS to sync properly, but works pretty well for me. Currently supports most of the basic features, just not "actions" so it is more of a desktop companion for ...
Why no love for TagNotate?

Why no love for TagNotate?
10/10/2018
I export all my PDF annotations to either Dynalist or Ominoutliner and then add hashtags in the outline. Both apps make it easy to search or filter quotes by hashtag and reviewing my export later help...
Beorg for iOS

I mean the number of people here into "org mode" ...
Beorg for iOS
10/8/2018
I posted about this here last month... was surprised that my post didn't get any comments considering how many people on the list seem to be into BeOrg. I really can't get into emacs, but if something...
Migrate from Dynalist to Outlinely
9/26/2018
It doesn't look like the folks at Dynalist have any interest in making any significant updates to their horrendous iOS app. At the same time, Outlinely seems to be getting regular updates again. So as...
Appademic
9/25/2018
This looks like a useful blog that would be of interest to list members (at least that subset of members who use iOS):

Omnifocus 3.0 to come out Monday
9/24/2018
Other than sequential projects, it seems to me that 2Do can do most of the things OF 3 can do, plus it has a much better implementation of start dates (including my favorite which is the ability to se...
TickTick steadily improves
9/18/2018
I was really disappointed with TicTic. It has potential, but I eventually went back to Todoist. I actually had discontinued my subscription the day this appeared in my newsfeed....
Thanks for sharing this. I didn't know about this tool. Don't have a project for it right now, but I've experienced this problem in the past and it is good to know!
BeOrg (org mode for iOS)
9/2/2018
I recently stumbled across BeOrg. I think it was mentioned here a long time ago, but it has really come a long way. If there was a desktop equivalent I would seriously consider moving to this as my ma...
Education Project Plans
8/10/2018
Not sure I understand the question, but when working on large projects with others at my institution (or across institutions) I personally like to use Trello.
Outlinely gets a (minor) update

That should be "but then so bad on iOS"...
Outlinely gets a (minor) update
7/27/2018
The whole situation is frustrating. Dynalist is so great on the desktop (near-perfect for my needs really) but then so bad on the desktop. Mubu has more limited features but very tight fit between the...
Outlinely gets a (minor) update
7/26/2018
I have to say, although I love having a native iOS app, there are so many little things in Outlinely that don't work right or don't work as expected that I just find it frustrating. Small example: tog...
