A little more time spent with it, mostly on the web through my Chromebook. So yes, the files are online. Although encryption is mentioned, I can't find a way to do that. It has word count! And that's ...

Second thought: the feature is mindmap on mobile. Not only is it fast and readable, but there are also a number of themes for the mind maps that are attractive.

Thanks for this. Well it looks and feels like Dynalist. Many of the same commands, including hoisting. I started with it on my Android phone, and it immediately felt very familiar. Then I went online,...
Atlantis Word Processor has been on a roll
10/10/2019
I started a long time ago with Red Hat, then moved to PC-LinuxOS, did a spell with Ubuntu, Mint, and now mostly use either Lubuntu (a familiar eco-system) or most recently, Solus (which is a very eleg...
I've left Windows for good, and don't know if I want to wrestle it in Wine on Linux. But Atlantis looks good, has a reasonable price ($35), and with collapsable headings, looks pretty useable. I'm gla...
I didn't even notice that. Thanks. I'll be more alert in the future.

I don't see many undergraduates on this list, but hey, you never know. If so, here's an article about what does and doesn't work about taking notes for classes.

Outlines on the Medium
6/25/2019
I look forward to your thoughts. I think you're right that many of us are moving to cloud-based apps, just because that's where the net is going generally, and we have multiple platforms. Maybe we nee...

Oooh. Like what?
Outlines on the Medium

A round up of outliners in my news feed this morning:

Sorry for spraying chronological comments on this fascinating thread.

Dr. Andus, is Dynalist replacing Workflowy for you?

Just wanted to comment. This a brilliant exercise regimen!

For many years, I worked in the area of "intellectual freedom," mainly in public libraries. In the USA, this refers to the Constitution's First Amendment right to speak freely. I believe that.
I als...
Oh, I'm also using Emacs and Zettlr, both excellent for long form markdown.
This isn't exactly outliner software, but for those of us whose CRIMPing extends to operating systems, here's a new thing: a web-based way to test drive a Linux distro without downloading and copying ...
I'd argue that the general theme is convergence. People talk on this site, persuasively, about the many advantages of running Windows on a Mac. Now Windows 10 is launching a full Linux kernel (https:/...
Like a lot of folks, I imagine, I have several older computers around. I have an 8 year old Mac laptop. I remember when Mac users were charged for OS updates. Now they're free. I'm current, and have O...
Omnifocus as a Tool for Lists, not Tasks
5/30/2019
I use the "Move to" command, which allows me to file completed items. But it's one at a time. Dynalist needs mark and gather.

I finally installed this on a fresh Linux system. Not bad! Folding (by header level) is turned on by default and works well. It's missing a few cursor movement commands (move forward or back by paragr...
Great deal on Leadertask today

Given clear interference with the American electorate on the part of Russia, and the sweeping surveillance and hacking of some Chinese companies, I'm very unlikely to install any Russian or Chinese so...
Checkvist recent updates

Welcome, and thanks for the news!
All of this is most welcome. I find myself playing with Checkvist from time to time. Some thoughts:

x-whnb: dual pane outliner on Chromebook
5/16/2019
Great info, washere. Alas, my Chromebook happens to be just old enough that it doesn't support Android apps--or Halna Outliner would be the cat's pajamas. (The android Notecase still feels off to me s...
