Microsoft Buys Wunderlist
4/22/2017
Hackpad is now Paper. The latest update to Paper added an offline mode. I like Paper's presentation mode and often use it for teaching as a quick alternative to PowerPoint. (You can paste markdown for...
Dynalist iOS beta
4/21/2017
Dynalist announced a closed beta of their iOS app on Twitter. Don't know if there are any slots left, but you can DM them to find out. Will be interesting to see if they can do any better than Workflo...
Outlinely lowers iOS subscription price
4/20/2017
But if you export the markdown to Bear it looses all the formatting. However, if you export the OPML to Dynalist and then export from there as plain text (with asterisks) it works.
Outlinely lowers iOS subscription price
4/20/2017
I agree, but I wish it was easier to move text between these various apps. Although they all either support OPML and/or Markdown to various degrees, I find that text layout (especially information abo...

Why are tags considered binary?
3/31/2017
I've never seen anything like this, but I have seen two uses of tags that might be relevant: The first is "tag clouds" which show tags by how often they appear. There are WordPress plugins to do this ...
Thanks!
I seem to have to login again every time I come to these forums. Is it possible to adjust the settings so that logins are a little more sticky. They don't need to be permanent, but maybe more than 24 ...
Omni Outliner Essentials
2/24/2017
For workflowy users looking for a desktop app with iOS sync I think Outlinely is still the better option. However, OO does feel more robust. Lots of work is still needed on Outlinely, but it is improv...
Omni Outliner Essentials
2/23/2017
I really don't need or want most of the "pro" features, which is why I never felt it was worth spending the money. But I'm perfectly happy to buy the essentials version. I'm testing the beta out now a...
Outlinely adds x-callback support
2/17/2017
You can now write workflow (not workflowy) scripts to append text to a specific section of an outline!

Dropbox Paper
2/11/2017
One nice thing about Paper is presentation mode. It is very easy to throw up a quick presentation from a text file...
Dropbox Paper
2/11/2017
My biggest problem with Paper is that it requires internet access. I tried the iOS app and it wouldn't let me edit a document when I was offline. Considering that Dropbox's greatest strength is sync, ...
Outlinely in action
1/19/2017
I find that tagging in Outlinely and Bear work very differently: In Outlinely tagging works to separate out individual outline items from within a single document and it gives you the ability to quick...
It seems to me that the best option for someone who doesn't trust commercial cloud services is to host your own cloud either with OwnCloud or with a network enabled NAS. Then just use plain text files...
Migrate from Workflowy to Outlinely
12/23/2016
I shared this with Dat, the developer. He pointed out that you can also import just by control-clicking on a folder in the sidebar. It is hard to discover this feature as it only works with custom fol...

Sorry, that link seems to have gone bad, try this one:

Migrate from Workflowy to Outlinely
12/23/2016
I came up with a very baroque process to migrate my Workflowy outlines (exported as OPML files) to Outlinely. It uses Hazel, TextWrangler, AppleScript, etc. I honestly don't know how useful it will be...
Outlinely for iOS version 1 released.
12/22/2016
Outlinely is out, but a lot of key features require a subscription. I'm happy to support this because it is the first outliner for iOS that I can actually use as part of my workflow, and I know how ha...
Outlinely 2.5 adds wiki-style links
12/12/2016
Recent versions of the iOS beta have made great strides. Most of the bugs have been quashed and it now supports drag-and-drop reordering, search, highlighting, etc. For me this is already the solution...
Besides the obvious privacy concerns, the app is very vague about how it works. "Magic" isn't very satisfying for something that seemingly takes over all of your digital life. It claims not not need y...
Outlinely 2.5 adds wiki-style links
11/25/2016
From the release notes: "Embedded Link to other documents: If you type [[Link]], clicking on the link between the double brackets will open the linked document. This feature is enhanced by Auto-comple...
Bear review
11/8/2016
I too am liking Bear the more I use it. I find the website FAQ does have a fair amount of information. I had mistakenly thought they removed a beta feature to have nested tags, but via the FAQ I reali...

The developers also seem to be offering a one month free trial for annual Pro subscriptions (one week for monthly subscriptions).
