simple Task management in Google Sheets 4/20/2020

The Next Web: Holy sheet: How to create a simple to-do list with Google Sheets. https://thenextweb.com/basics/2020/04/20/holy-sheet-simple-to-do-list-google-sheets/ Way too simple for this crowd, and...

Outliner for granular writing? 4/8/2020

I think our original poster could do the job with emacs (org-mode) and pandoc. There's easy toggling between views, powerful navigating and editing commands, plus very fine control over output. Both a...

Strength and solidarity 4/8/2020

Hear, hear, and cheers to all. My hope for this time is that there is some small recognition that facts exist and knowledge matters. At which point, outliners are bound be useful. Said Joseph Campbe...

elementaryOS Outliner 4/4/2020

I taught myself how to use the simple github syntax to download and install Outliner on my system. It should be out on AppCenter soon. The Outliner is a little minimal just yet, but the developer is k...

elementaryOS Outliner 4/3/2020

Today I updated my elementaryOS (running on a Macbook). Minder, the mindmap application, boasted a new ability to import "Outliner" (now in AppCenter!) files. So I went to the AppCenter, and can't fin...

Enjoying reading forum 3/13/2020

Welcome, David. Yes, this is a fun place to hang out. Right now, when it comes to some kind of comprehensive list of outliners, I'd go here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outliner But it doesn't cov...

GrandView for Windows v1 3/12/2020

A belated correction: I have been using dosbox-x (rather than dosbox)-- which seems to be far more accommodating to these old outliners, and also for toggling to full screen (first choose output>openg...

Saving the EccoPro Yahoo group content 3/11/2020

@Lothar, I just tried it, and there's plenty of content. You have to click something from the first page - eccoMAGIC Forums?

Website?

GrandView for Windows v1 3/5/2020

I even figured out how to make the DOS outliners go full screen. Grandview is remarkable. @Stephen Zeoli, you wrote than you could display the documents "inline" -- but how? It seems like this would b...

GrandView for Windows v1 3/3/2020

How cool! After spending a whole day over the weekend with Linux running DOSBOX, PC-Outline, and KAMAS, I am unsurprised to say that everything in this GV file works fine with this setup, too. includi...

PC OUTLINE 2/24/2020

On an old Ubuntu box, I downloaded DOSBOX-X, then the program file for PCO (https://www.pcorner.com/). Then I unzipped the files, set up a new DOSBOX directory as c. mount c /home/jlarue/Downloads/pc...

Noto - has anyone tried it? 2/21/2020

Mac, iOS only I think. https://www.macstories.net/reviews/noto-review-beautifully-modern-and-versatile-note-taking/

Editorial Vivant? 2/9/2020

Glad to hear it's still lively. It became by far my favorite writing app on the iPad.

iPad productivity 10 years later 1/30/2020

I used the iPad 2 for many years, and very productively, as a speaker. My main tool was mindmaps. I used SimpleMind or iThoughts to produce a seven first-ring presentation, then additional branches to...

Elementary OS on a 2011 Macbook Pro 1/29/2020

I think I DID find it a little dishonest. I bought in 2017 a machine from 2015. I was not aware, until two years after buying the Chromebook, that it had a software end of life. I did a fair amount o...

Elementary OS on a 2011 Macbook Pro 1/29/2020

Yes, I saw Notes Up. It looks like a reasonably clean Evernote alternative (with both "books" and tags). elementary apps do look good. Although Joplin adds the encryption feature that might justify my...

Elementary OS on a 2011 Macbook Pro 1/25/2020

I was a little bummed when I found out that Chromebooks have an expiration date (no more security updates). My older C100PA, bought in 2017, will expire this year! So I was looking around for a replac...

Elementary OS on a 2011 Macbook Pro 1/14/2020

My wife's 2011 Macbook Pro, with 8 gb of RAM, had become unusable for her. Slow beyond toleration. She got a new one. In the attempt to wipe the old one, it got bricked. I'd been wondering how hard it...

PC OUTLINE 1/5/2020

Jim, that's a generous offer. I no longer have an active Windows machine, but I do have one running Linux. DOSBOX should work. Where does one find the PC-Outline file these days?

Hierarchical tags 1/4/2020

Could someone explain to me, as if to a child, how they use hierarchical tags in apps not designed for hierarchy? Is it something like this? 1. Create a note in Simplenote 2. Give it a tag: "recipe...

2019 reflection question 1/3/2020

Thanks, all, for your thoughts. So this is basically a support group for CRIMPers! Like others, I have narrowed down my tool set. At this point, mostly because of a greater reliance on a Chromebook (...

2019 reflection question 12/31/2019

Fellow CRIMPers, My question is not, or not chiefly, which tools did you use this past year, but what new thing did you discover in 2019 through USING that tool? That is, are we just shuffling our da...

The Plain Text Project 12/3/2019

Good one. I hadn't seen Calculist before. https://calculist.io/ A web based outliner. You have to sign up to try it, and I haven't yet. But it looks promising.

Transno 11/27/2019

Ah. One can "lock" files. But there is one password for all locked files. >Although encryption is >mentioned, I can't find a way to do that. Thanks for the background info on the company!
