Libreoffice gets folding
12/6/2020
Interesting videos, thanks. Yeah, it is a little clunky. The navigator feature has always allowed folding and structural rearrangement. But the addition of in-text folding, however roundabout, feels l...
Libreoffice gets folding
12/5/2020
In my original post, I made a typo: "I haven’t used LibreOffice in a while, but like the navigator function, allowing I’ve to hide/reveal or rearrange headings in a separate panel. Sounds ...

Outline Folding Mode
Added a new Writer outline folding mode (as experimental feature). You should enable experimental features in Tools ▸ Options ▸ LibreOffice ▸ Advanced dialog to ...
The Rise and Fall of Getting Things Done
11/21/2020
Thanks for posting this very interesting piece. The essential point is correct: knowledge worker autonomy is a myth. Creative energy really is a limited resource, and the challenge of "frictionless" d...
Strange Ad Behavior
11/15/2020
I've had this happen both in Chrome on the desktop, and on mobile. It seems to be deliberate ad behavior, not malicious. I'm sure there's a difference there somewhere.

Outlinely gets a (minor) update
11/14/2020
I hauled out my old 2011 MacBook Pro (it works with Webinex when Chromebook and Linux don't), and saw the Outlinely update. So I installed, and put it through its paces again. It's quite a nice outlin...
My handwriting has indeed gotten worse, and I can type way faster than I can write. But I use some little pocket notebooks throughout the day, more as a kind of scratchpad -- jot down a URL, or call b...
Simplenote now has Internal Links
11/4/2020
Thanks. It's pretty easy on the Android and Linux platforms I tested. Wonder how long it will take before we see links FROM other notes (Roam). I'm finding that Simplenote has been a very reliable too...
A very clear and concise explanation. Thanks.

Tips from Anylist Users?
10/31/2020
For shared lists, I've been using either Google Keep or SimpleNote, both free and easy to use with others.
Enjoying reading forum
10/30/2020
That sounds about right, Chris. A refresh, the ability to edit my own posts, and I'd be good. Muting, hiding a poster is nice but not necessary. I like the idea of a community curated catalog. I often...
Outliner on elementary OS: move to bin
10/30/2020
I agree about Notecase Pro. And I"ve now put in enough hours on emacs org-mode (and markdown-mode) to put it on the short list. I used to use hnb, and have several times installed tines, which remains...
Outliner on elementary OS: move to bin
10/29/2020
I have really enjoyed the Outliner app for elementary OS. See https://github.com/phase1geo/Outliner
I haven't tried to do the git clone function on a non-elementary machine, so that's a caveat.
But ...
How many tags?
10/28/2020
Mostly, I write in outlines. But I do dump a lot of random thoughts into SimpleNote. I just realized that I have been arbitrarily limiting, trying not to proliferate, my tags. It's a carryover from th...
Roam Patrol!
10/9/2020
Great read, thanks! I remember being excited by an article I read about Tinderbox, and its "agents" running around finding all these connections. But I never invested in that. So, are YOU finding this...
Evernote reinventing itself
9/19/2020
Did that happen with Pages? I recall that it once had Appleworks style outlining, but that outlining disappeared in the app. Did it return?
I think that's true for anyone who wants to effect change in their lives. If you can't quite get a handle on that, you pour your energy into the abstracted process as represented by software, hoping t...

EXCELLENT experiment, and I appreciate your taking the time to report the results.
Lack of up-to-date outliners
7/31/2020
I'd have to give the nod to Notecase Pro (https://www.notecasepro.com/) over Cherry Tree. Notecase is very full-featured, under active development, good across Windows/Linux/Mac/Android.

Next computer platform after Chromebook
7/27/2020
Thought I'd post my final decision. I bought a Pixelbook Go, a Chromebook with 8 gigs of RAM, 64 gigs of storage, and a memory card reader. Why?
- the build quality. It's super light, speakers on top...
2019 reflection question
7/13/2020
Thanks for these last responses, which get at the substance of my original question.
I was fooling around with old software (KAMAS under DOSBox-X) and realized that all of this use of outliners throu...
Thanks everyone. I love the many different perspectives, which is why I tend to do these open ended questions. You often surprise me!
Thanks, Ken, I'll check it out. And sorry for typo above. I use a COMPUTER for browsing, correspondence (email), then outliners for most everything else.
I think I mentioned before that three years ago I bought a nice looking but small Chromebook. It turns out it was two years old, and though new, it is reaching end of support at the end of this month....
