Outlinely gets a (minor) update
6/17/2018
After one year of no news, outlinely got a minor compatibility update last week. Glad to know it isn’t dead, even though I still see no reason to pay for a subscription...

Dynalist update
6/15/2018
So Dynalist's iOS app suddenly started working for me again. That is to say, it no longer freezes upon startup. The developers say it wasn't any change that they made but probably something to do with...
While I don't like using Todoist as a ToDo List, I actually find it useful for keeping open-ended lists of things like shopping lists, "movies to see," or "books to read," etc. especially since it ma...
Taskade
6/2/2018
After notes, my second biggest feature request would be to support Markdown formatted links like Dynalist and Todoist do. I use this feature all the time in both apps and it makes it very easy to shar...

One feature I really find lacking in both the app and the roadmap is the ability to attach notes to individual outline items like you can in Workflowy, Outlinely, Dynalist, and Checkvist. I see "comme...
Agenda
5/22/2018
Agenda for iOS was just announced. It is available as a pre-order, but the price is free, so this just means it will download automatically:

If one didn't know about Dynalist's "pro" features, I think most people would find the free tier more than adequate. It stands up we...
Comparisons of online outliners
5/18/2018
I'm surprised how far Checkvist has come along. I used them when they first came out, but haven't checked back in for a while. Since they don't have a proper iOS app I'm not interested in using them a...
SlipStack
5/16/2018
I haven't tried this yet, but it looks like it would be of interest to forum members. An iOS version is under development.

Folding Text 3 -- on the horizon?
5/16/2018
I don't understand why anyone would make a macOS note taking app/outliner in 2018 that didn't have an iOS version.
Dynalist update
5/13/2018
Hmm. Looking at the forums it seems it might be an issue unique to using bluetooth keyboards. Hopefully it can be fixed... Till then I have to use Workflowy for input on the go and then import to Dyna...
Dynalist update
5/12/2018
Unfortunately, yet more updates have broken the iOS app. It is completely useless to me again.

I see iOS isn’t even mentioned on their roadmap.
Off Topic: Which keyboard to buy?

Drafts 5 for iOS goes subscription
4/21/2018
Subscriptions are popular because they are good for Apple. Don’t blame developers for fighting to survive in the Apple created ecosystem.
I’ve paid for the Drafts 5 subscription and am r...

iThoughts gets an outline view

MindNode had this for some time already. Looks similar. I never found it very useful for outlining though...
best outliner you use? (2018)
4/8/2018
Dynalist seems to be the best option right now. And the developers are very active. If you find it limited I suggest working with Dynalist to improve their product. Workflowy has picked up a bit recen...
Notion
4/7/2018
Actually, if you hover over a link a paperclip icon will appear. Clicking on that opens the link in a new tab by default.
Notion recently updated with support for relational databases (very much like...
One issue for me is that I don't see any import/export options. That worries me...
Pendo seems to have come a long way since 2015, including a Mac app and a number of new features. I'm not sure whether or not it is something I want to use, but thought I'd see if anyone on the forum ...
MarkDown Blogging Resources

My favorite right now is http://micro.blog mostly because I found it really annoying to blog from my phone to Jekyll, but the micro.blog app does that very nicely. Micro.blog is billed as a kind of so...
Workflowy updates their iOS app
3/22/2018
While Dynalist premium is very pricy without the discount, the free version is quite generous and usable. What's more, they post regular updates, have a clear plan and philosophy about the future deve...
Workflowy updates their iOS app
3/21/2018
I don't remember the details, but the subscription may have only been required for those who wish to sync between their iPhone and the desktop? It is possible that desktop-only users don't need to pay...
