Idea Shuffler
4/12/2017
The original hnb developer included a "shuffle" function in his outliner. I've never needed it myself, but I kept it for Tines because I thought someone might. I suppose if you have an unordered list ...
Apple Buys Workflow
3/23/2017
Don't know if anyone uses this to automate things on iOS or not — I just heard about it myself.

Anyway, the app is now free on the App ...
Novlr - novel writing app
2/20/2017
If eBook export is still "in progress," that's a deal-breaker for me. I should look to see if it offers anything beyond what Scivener + Markdown + Dropbox gives.
Dropbox Paper
2/12/2017
Dropbox is pitching this as a collaborative space more than anything. I see how you could use it to keep notes, but (without playing with it) I don't see how you'd organize them. I've co-written stuff...

Agreed, especially when m...
Tines 1.11.0
1/22/2017
Main new feature: Tines now preserves (and uses, where relevant) OPML metadata in the head element. Once I figured out how to use Øyvind's old hnb XML parser code, it did the right thing as soon ...
+1 on the labels suggestion.
MWeb for Mac users
1/14/2017
In this case, a single-file solution is fine. On my Mac, I have a Dropbox folder with Markdown files, one per scene (one directory per story). I use Brackets to edit on the Mac, and Jekyll to build HT...
RichView portable editor

There's TED, but I think it only runs on Linux. https://www.nllgg.nl/Ted/
MWeb for Mac users
1/10/2017
Sounds interesting. How do you shuttle files between iOS and the rest of the world? Dropbox? Would I need the MWeb desktop app?
I'm currently using NotesWriter+ to edit Markdown files on my iPad, but...
Tines 1.10.1
1/2/2017
I've released a minor update to Tines, the console-mode outliner. Quick summary:
* Bug fix: changed $pid definition to a string so it can be used in macros
* Increased menu entry count from 24 to 30

Evernote Privacy Policy Changes
12/16/2016
I've been gradually pulling out of Evernote for a while now. This will only accelerate my exit.
NovaMind bites the dust
10/13/2016
I bought SimpleMind for my iPad. It works really well, and can import and export Freemind format (which I use for mindmapping on the desktop).
Any good Scrivener books out there?
10/13/2016
I use Scrivener all the time, but mostly for writing fiction. I never looked at the third-party books out there—I just dived in and started trying different things—but here's a couple thin...
ZenWriter 40% off one day
9/29/2016
You don't need to *buy* an editor for that. I wrote a blog post called "Distraction-free for Free" about a month ago:

One advantage of being an older guy: I remember when the network was often a not-work. Two generations before me, many people didn't trust banks (and with good reason—look at what they're still ...
outliner software wanted: single outline with arbitrary lines marked as nodes for an overview
9/10/2016
I maintain Tines, an open-source console-mode outliner that does what I think you're looking for. You can mark a node as text (or a todo item). One of the export features uses XSLT to convert a file (...
