Personal Wiki Updates

Two important developments in the world of personal wikis for iOS and macOS:
1. Primate Labs bought Voodoo Pad

2. Bear added ...

Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
11/6/2017
Another way of defining my personal "idiosyncratic standards" for an outliner might be to say that I want a Workflowy-inspired outliner that works across platforms.It still seems to me that only the f...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
11/5/2017
Personally (by my admittedly idiosyncratic standards) there are only four outliner apps for iOS/macOS that I think are worth mentioning: Workflowy, Dynalist, Outlinely, and Mubu. As the state of these...
Notion
10/4/2017
So it does have folding - sort of. You get folding by adding a "toggle list block" which can hold other kinds of blocks within it and can all be folded. I find this way of doing things very strange - ...
Notion

I see this was mentioned back last summer when it was in beta.

Notion
10/4/2017
While intriguing, I find I don't really like Notion. What it gains in flexibility with all these "blocks" it looses in its lack of structure. Similar to why I don't like MS OneNote I guess. One exampl...
Notion
10/4/2017
Anyone tried Notion? An interesting new(?) app that does docs, wikis, to-do lists, etc. I find the iOS app very difficult to use and the instructions are all based on using a keyboard, but the whole i...
Alfred is highly scriptable and can interact with other apps. You do need to pay extra to turn on the workflow functionality, but it’s worth it.

Sounds like Ulysses might be good for you?

Workflowy announced a new programmer:

And, at the end of this post:

One result of apps going towards subscription models is that whereas before I would have kept them on my desktop and used them occasionally, now I just delete them, because they are generally useless ...
I too found the Ulysses app post with its comparison to the price of coffee quite offensive. However, I found this Medium post by one of the developers to be much more thoughtful:

NVIVO vs Devonthink
8/6/2017
Outlinely can search for tags across documents using the "search and navigate window." Dynalist can search in a single document or across documents. Workflowy does not require you to separate outlines...
NVIVO vs Devonthink
8/6/2017
Very strange. MarginNote only supports the proprietary Omni Outliner format, not the open OPML format supported by many other apps. Seems easier to use an outliner that exports as plain text than this...
NVIVO vs Devonthink
8/6/2017
It looks like MarginNote can even export into OPML format, which would simplify the whole process?
NVIVO vs Devonthink
8/6/2017
As I stated earlier, while Bear and other text editors only allow you to attach tags to individual documents, outliner software such as Worfklowy, Dynalist, Outlinely, and Mudu all allow you to attach...
Onenote Mac now has the separate windows
7/30/2017
Also worth mentioning that the latest update to Bear includes opening notes in separate windows on the desktop app.
MuBu 幕布 Outliner
7/28/2017
Censorship is a very valid concern, as I mentioned earlier. I don't blame anyone for staying clear of mubu for this reason. For those who do wish to make use of the app, however, I think it shouldn't ...
MuBu 幕布 Outliner
7/28/2017
I recently downloaded and installed the macOS app for mubu. While it doesn't have any encoding issues as reported for the Windows version, I find that it isn't as full featured as the web version. I w...
MuBu 幕布 Outliner
7/25/2017
I haven't tried mindmaps on iOS and use the web app, so I can't compare. But for the features I use it has been very stable and I've have had no encoding issues.
MuBu 幕布 Outliner
7/25/2017
Actually Dynalist is working on mindmap:

However, personally I don't use mindmaps or care about t...
MuBu 幕布 Outliner
7/25/2017
Someone I know wrote and asked for English support to which the developers wrote back saying they have no plans to offer that. I find this quite surprising, but I guess it is a sign of how big the Chi...
