Forum redesign

Fascinating how discussion has enjoyed a resurgence since the redesign.
It's like X, except without having to filter through all the flat earth drivel and claims AI is conscious.
Or, maybe it is...
What do you value in Ia writer and Ulysses
1 week ago
Nice - I'm going to have to check that out.
I wish vendors were more up front with where data is stored. MWeb has a library feature that relieves the user from worrying about file names or location...
All-In-One solution?

> My favorite all time note/task fusion is OneNote/Outlook.
I hope this doesn't come off as a rant. I really don't mean it that way.
OneNote's early days seemed like the one thing Microsoft got ...
What do you value in Ia writer and Ulysses

iA Writer is very pleasant to use and I like the Wordpress publish feature.
It is not without rough edges. It can crash. I've never lost work, and it happens when I'm fiddling with its locations.

SheetPlanner 5.3
4/16/2026
This sounds like a big deal:
- A row can appear under multiple groups, e.g. if grouping on Tags and a row has multiple tags.
I crave an outliner that will do the same thing, although an OmniOutl...

This is nice!
No, I need to edit this - it's really nice!
OmniOutliner Automation Made Simple
3/21/2026
Automation in OmniOutliner is pretty cool, no matter how you get there. All apps should be scriptable, and OO's Javascript makes a lot more sense to me than Applescript.
That may make me a heretic, s...

In line tasks! Very nice.
I looked at Tana a little, but was put off by all the AI.
My dream outliner lets me outline and keep a repository of notes, all integrated together.
You are wise to steer clear of Word's outline mo...
Arg. You're right. In my defense, I didn't use a calculator and slipped a few decimal places.
Many thanks for the correction.
Unless I goofed again, Hubbard will still burn 158 billion cubic meters ...
AI paralyzes me. I know in my gut we're going to see a stock market hit at least as big as the housing bubble. That took out half the market's value.
I'm paralyzed because I can't bring myself to clo...
Mailing lists and OmniOutliner
2/16/2026
Mail merge is handy for things like when Congress is begging for a whup-down, which generally happens on those times when a weekday ends in "Y".
I've been using a spreadsheet. Columns are added for g...
Totally agree, although I have a little tolerance for proprietary file formats in some cases.
If I can understand enough of the format to extract my work, that's a little bit of a safety net.
The wo...
Need a memory jog
1/27/2026
I have not kept up with Plottr. I bought a very early copy and set it aside. I've always thought it's a great idea, but it didn't quite fit me, which is a personal problem.
The added Pro features I d...
Need a memory jog
1/26/2026
Apropos of the moment and presented with respect. I understand AI can be a powerful tool.
Plottr just sent out a notice they've made the decision to leave AI out of their products because they don't ...

I like to track my scrimping. It's difficult. I have expenditures, ROI, planned purchases, and budgeting broken up across disparate spreadsheets, csv, and json files.
If only there was one unified to...
OmniOutliner 6 is out
1/7/2026
Ok, an update.
Ken (Case, I believe) emailed asking for an activity monitor snapshot while OO was hung - and I can no longer get it to hang.
There was one thing different, though. The first non-han...
OmniOutliner 6 is out
1/7/2026
Word from Ken at OmniGroup, which I think may be Ken Case himself.
"We expect customers to be able to use a single license on all of their devices at once—even if they have multiple Macs, multi...
OmniOutliner 6 is out
1/6/2026
I have found one disquieting thing. I installed it on my laptop and opened it to configure OO6's toolbar. It wouldn't run. The instance on my desktop was unresponsive. I force quit and tried again. No...
OmniOutliner 6 is out
1/6/2026
I sense OO is not the most popular outliner out there. For those who follow OO, version 6 has just been released.
Extra columns mean I can add custom metadata, and I'm getting some mileage out of my ...

Well said.

Wait a minute, that sounds like some of my customers!
On second thought, you can have them if you really want them. ;-)

HyperPlan is my bill paying dashboard along with ad-hoc uses that come up. Easy Data Transform remains my primary rodent control when going after rogue appraisal districts.

Obsidian Bases -- any use cases?
12/5/2025
It's been a while since I used this, so forgive me if I goof up the details.
The mission was to arrive at a boatload of notes about Products and Vendors where I could jump from products to any of the...
OmniOutliner 6
11/27/2025
I know. I'm overposting. I'll try to do limit myself.
But in the meantime, I've finally taken a look at Omni-Automation for OmniOutliner. The automation is based on Javascript.
Very, very, cool. You...
