Tinderbox 8 is released
4/12/2019
This caught me by surprise.
One outliner for Mac, iPad, and iPhone
4/10/2019
Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. Outlinely will take a bit of getting used to, but I'm giving it a shot. And I'll take a look at the "long in the tooth" one.
I remember trying the "Hit Lis...

My thoughts exactly on the name "Outline". I did see that what I typed in was supposed to be a "Heading", but that seemed not to be a outline heading.
I'll give Outliney a look, and will fiddle aroun...

I tried Outline (by Gorillized) but found the interface to be about as annoying as OneNote. Do any of you have an outlining favorite that works cross-platform? If there isn't one, I'll probably bite t...
To me, Arabesque "Ecco" was the one app that did everything for me (except email, which was still in the future). Allowed me to dump PackRat, Desktop Set, Daytimer, and Ascend.
I'm just such a sufferer. Today, a meeting slipped through the cracks and I could not find the email requesting it. If I had just one productivity app and one email app, it wouldn't have taken me an h...
I tried DropTask in an effort to get my team (4 people) to collaborate on projects. I was the only person who used it, so I discarded the idea.

Little icons, like a musical note, or a vegetable, or a question mark.
Anyone using Zettelkasten?

I was using askSam with downloads of abstracts and references from MEDLINE, downloaded on an excruciatingly slow modem.
Nutshell could also be a nice notetaking device, with colorful screens in the ...
Circus Ponies came to mind, and there didn't seem to be many developers who jumped in with a replacement. Neo sort of disappeared below the radar for a few years, and Bento plotzed without warning. An...

askSam was wonderful in the DOS world, and not so in the Windows world. The same goes for MaxThink, XyWrite, Q&A, and Nota Bene.

I cringe whenever I see a new report that Evernote's future is uncertain (or grim). If they do go belly-up, I hope they give us enough lead time to migrate to another system. What are the alternatives...

Actually, I'm reviewing a few right now (the one named "part two"). It occurred to me that a notecard system would always have some fields in common (fields for notes, source, topic, category, etc.), ...

Were it not for Beck, I wouldn't have ever heard of Zettelkasten. I even bought a book by Umberto Eco in hopes of getting some insights. I wrote a lengthy term paper on Central America using the notec...

Do you use the attribute function to add "fields" (categories) to the notes? That was my first instinct, but I am such a klutz with Tinderbox, I never got to stage 1.

It served me well in the ’m considering making a Filemaker app for it.
Help with a MacJournal 7 issue

If you engage the ruler at the top of the screen, you can set the margins visually. You select all of the text, then pull the right margin icon to the left until it is in the desired place. I use 6.5"...

I'm not getting the word wrapping issue once the text is all selected and the right margin is set at something reasonable (6" or 6.5").

Have you defined the right margin for the document (at 6.5" or so)?
Aquaminds NoteTaker 4 is in beta
3/11/2019
In December, they had started working on the documentation and help menus. The beta versions in the past 3 months have been pretty much bug-free from my end. These sorts of programs are prone to crash...
I thought I was the only one to use Concept Draw. I found their project manager to be a bit better (for me) compared to OmniPlan. I never warmed up to their mindmapping app, probably because most of t...
For me, this was the niche for SheetPlanner. Simple ToDo lists don't rise to the level of action plans, but apps like OmniPlan are overkill for my needs. SheetPlanner allows me some order that task ma...
About 10 years ago, I saw the same sort of request on an online forum. It was from, of all people, Mitch Kapor.
I really wanted to love that app, but I felt like it was just too clunky.
NeO has a breath of life
2/11/2019
Oddly enough, I just checked to see if D-Lit was back on line about a week ago, and I did see that it was updated in 2017. I hope he will continue to update it. The last few versions I used several y...
I meant to mention something about Mellel. This app uses some unconventional interface elements that are difficult to get comfy with, but I am beginning to use it more now because (1) it is fast, (2) ...
