Fundamental shifts of position
1/17/2015
And, oddly, I just stumbled across this: http://www.ollapp.com/app/cotton-notes/android. Not sure how old that is. I'm not actually a Cotton Notes user. But those who are (in the Mac world) rate it hi...

I believe Cotton Notes has a Chrome app - so does work cross platform.
Outlining in Mac Pages
1/13/2015
I was working with a long document in LibreOffice that somehow got corrupted (and for which Navigator wasn't working). Since I was using my son's old Mac, I tried to open it in his Pages '09 (4.3) pro...
Mmm, no. Code folding works by level of indent not headings. No spell check. No word count. Installed a theme, then couldn't find a way to select it. Twice, it didn't want to close at all. It's possi...
There's lots to like here.
- It's free. I like open source.
- Its implementation of extensions is far easier to wrap your head around than Sublime Text's. Brackets feels less complex generally (thank...
Wow! I just installed the plaintask pacage and I have to say: so Sublime Text is a highly customizable writing environment; it has multi-tabs, endless new plugins and add-in packages; terrific search ...
I can't get that link to work. My problem?
Haven't seen this one before here.
I got curious about markdown editors that allowed for code folding. Eventually, Google offered me something called Sublime Text 2, which is a multi-platform (Mac, W...
Workflowy - Updates? News?
1/7/2015
I like the tool, too, and find myself spending more time in it for many of the reasons you say: easy to use, easy to fly around, easy to add and rearrange things, etc. I bought the annual subscription...
Interesting. While I haven't downloaded it yet, what I really like about this - as with Smartdown - is the built-in text folding - which is the piece that I find most useful.
On Dr. Andus's recommend...
Black Hole Organizer on Bitsdujour today (2nd January 2015) - USD 4.95 instead of USD 24.95

I love that.
And in truth, some programs really are so good (so "pretty much done") that the pressure to "upgrade" breaks them. Consider the Bean word processor for the Mac, or the dual-pane outliner...
More info on outlining in OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice.

I tried that for awhile. With a big monitor, you can open the Navigator wind...
Caution: I haven't actually tried to import cwk files into LibreOffice, but I've seen on the net that several people have done so, and it's a direct import, not cut and paste.
I haven't found a moder...
I see that a number of Clarisworks users have migrated to Worfklowy - but you would indeed be working to recreate those indents. I've had good look reading in plain text files with tabs for indents in...
I was a big fan of Appleworks/Clarisworks myself, and used it for years. It was indeed a clean, intuitive, and surprisingly powerful program.
What you want to move to depends on what your key value o...

No, I haven't heard anything either. But your post did prompt me to go into my setting and choose the backup to Dropbox option, just in case!
Holiday reflections

I would indeed be interested in looking at some of the scripts. But on Android, I'm not looking for lots of features. Just simple, reliable.
Check out the Halna outliner for Android. A nice, clean tw...
Holiday reflections

First, happy holidays, everyone.
Second, my thanks. I check this site probably three times a day, and find it consistently cogent and on point. This is what an online community is supposed to look l...
When you pay for a Notecase Pro license, the developer sends you a license "key" - a file. I bought a lifetime, multi-platform license - the software is that good, and the price is that reasonable. So...
PC Notebook & Outliner

Also supports wonderful commands for editing the outline (shift-arrow), tags, mark and gather, and powerful searching.
PC Notebook & Outliner

I'm a longtime user of Notecase Pro. Cherry Tree is a work-alike. This is a two pane outliner, but with the ability to putting images, files, links on the right, and outline headings on the left.
For...
SmartDown
12/7/2014
SmartDown update: since I see that my trial version is about to expire (on Dec. 10), I went to the site to see what the price is.it looks like it will be $24.99, with an introductory price of $19,99. ...
WriteMonkey gets better and better
12/3/2014
I've gotten intrigued by markdown editors, and WriteMonkey has a great reputation. Does it have a plugin for code folding?

Hi jaslar, I'm glad you're liking Moo.do!
And again, thanks for posting here. The Outliner folks, as youv'e seen, are keenly interested in this kind of software, and I've yet t...
Thank you for posting here. And thank you for developing such an intriguing and useful product.
I tried Moo.do yesterday for quite a while, both on my iPad 2 and my Nexus 7. There are many things to ...
