Amplenote 1/29/2021

I think apps creating their own calendars is usually a waste of programming resources. I have never seen a proprietary calendar app for a note taker app that could compare favorably to some of the doz...

Amplenote 1/28/2021

I'm all for calendar integration when possible, but since the sync process here is one-way only date and data get synced to the calendar, but not the other way around. So with apps like Amplenote and ...

Seems to be as privacy-conscious as Standard Notes, but more full-featured (albeit for $20/yr more).

MindNode adds outlining to mind maps 1/27/2021

Flowlist: like Gingko, for lists 1/16/2021

Sebastian Fichtner has been working on this app since 2017 but I just ran across it the other day in the Mac App Store. (It's Mac-only.) Design is very similar to Gingko Writer, but seems slicker. Fre...

Ora.pm - Am I missing something? 12/30/2020

You have it right with Ora, you archive then delete from the Archive section. It's common for deletions not to really be deletions in modern apps. UX research in apps consistently finds that people c...

Gingko Writer 12/24/2020

I purchased the desktop app almost three years ago, but was disappointed by the sluggish development, the bifurcation with the online service (with no ability to share files between the two), and the ...

The Benefit of Nested Tags 12/23/2020

I got a Notejoy account two years ago, although I do not use the app. It's quite attractive though, and I suppose I should revisit it. Today I received an email from them linking to their Year 3 overv...

Yet another new discovery 12/23/2020

Looks like an interesting app, but a $6.99 app that hasn't been updated since Dec 2016 gives me pause. and even if it didn't, I don't see how one can even download or buy the app - when visiting the w...

I intend to try out Trasno but its onboarding is geekily awkward and confusing, which doesn't necessarily bode well for the app. When signing up there's a field for your email then one which simply ...

MindNode adds outlining to mind maps 12/20/2020

Most online mind map services offer the ability to host nicely formatted maps, but it's nice to also be able to host outlines. Not something I'd need but I can see its usefulness for others. The kille...

I wouldn't rush to follow them because they have a long history of jumping from app to app on a yearly basis for both notes and reminders. And their priorities tend towards robustness in the iOS space...

Manufacturing location of hardware is irrelevant to my personal data... unless you have some insight into data exfiltration somehow implanted into those billions of devices.
