Libreoffice gets folding
12/5/2020
Ah okay, thanks!
I looked into it a little more. Current app version is 7.01 but folding won't be a standard feature until v7.1 in February. Settings and implementation are clunky and a little ugly, ...
The Rise and Fall of Getting Things Done
12/5/2020
The humble TickTick is a Chinese app with a nominal California headquarters, from what I can tell. Given what we've learned about Chinese governmental influence and access with social, video, drone an...

Sorry, what does that mean?
It only imports web pages and PDFs. I could see this being useful for many grad students, but I work primarily with ePubs, sometimes even converting PDFs to ePub, because of the better viewing experie...

Great example of cherrypicking quotes and characters and data to build an unsupported claim, namely that workers need to be told more what to do.

Notion.io is my new favorite
8/29/2020
Any follow-up on Notion for outlining and writing? I don't need its project management features, just wondering about how it fares for outlines and writing and output. Did it get keyboard commands for...
Tree app - macOS
8/28/2020
As someone mentioned there's Ginkgo, designed for tree-based writing more than light outlines. Its development has been in limbo for well over a year. You can view the FAQ in Gingko format here:

Todoist Boards
8/27/2020
I think the Todoist people have run into massive coding cruft and have spent most of the last year revamping the app to continue to resemble what devoted fans are used to (while unfortunately removing...
Tree app - macOS
8/27/2020
The dev pulled the app. It can still be downloaded from one of those app repositories like download.cnet.com but you're left with a trial version and no way to pay for it. (But it still works!)

Has anyone been using or trying out the Papers beta? I just ran across this new post from the rarely-updated Macademic blog about it:
https://macademic.org/2020/05/04/readcube-papers/
If you used a Mac you could put the files into DevonThink or use DevonSphere Express, which stores and organizes files/emails/scans then indexes, auto-groups and auto-classifies info using AI - basica...
I looked on Twitter and apparently Omni didn't think in its rollout to tell people that the URL of its Edu store moved. It's now:

Restya - Open Source Kanban Style Board
7/16/2020
To be clear, Restya is not a Microsoft product, it's just one of many open source kanban boards, like Wekan.
https://wekan.github.io/
Kanban is becoming a feature of other apps and not just a standa...
There *might* be a discount available. I don't own OmniPlan but at https://store.omnigroup.com/omniplan there's the link "Register your license to receive discounts"
Otherwise yes, v.4 is either $200...
So Omni has just moved OmniOutliner, and all its apps, to subscription pricing.
OmniOutliner is now available for one price to unlock on Mac/iPhone/iPad, for US $4.99/month, or $49.99/year.

I use MindNode mainly because it's dead simple and has color-coded tags. But since 2014 iThoughts has offered real-time edits between itself and Marked2, where Marked2 shows outline previews of mindma...

Omni updated its roadmap today, and as with the last roadmap post it neglected to mention OmniOutliner once. OO is so neglected that to the posed question "With major new upgrades to your apps on the ...
