The deal-killer for me on TheBrain is that Brains are no longer stored in packages or directories. On the Mac they are stored in some manner in ~/Brains. It appears on a casual glance to be sort of on...
This thread and a Tinderbox Meetup video discussing Tinderbox and TheBrain - https://youtu.be/48sTpZ_u6lE - has me revisiting old choices in software.
Generally, such thoughts rarely come to mind, of...
There are some old standards that should get a mention.
- Devonthink
- TheBrain
- Tinderbox
I remain a fan of Curio, too. It takes very low effort to produce notes and thoughts in a polished format....

Seriously, thanks for the tip. I didn't realize that was a convention on Macs.
OutlineEdit is a very pleasant app to use.

Plottr is a cool company. This Wednesday through Friday Plottr is hosting something they are called the Wide Publishing Summit. It's free and Plottr promises no upselling.

The high contrast notes feature is very welcome.
I got OutlineEdit because Devonthink is rude to Bike outlines. If you let Devonthink edit a Bike file, it changes the extension to .html which causes ...
From your TSV output, Easy Data Transform will transmogrify your export to just about anything you want.
I may not use EDT every day but I'm always happy it's there.

Great tip!
Since my first post I've had a case where spaces got confused. The reload spaces feature cured the confusion at the cost of losing all spaces. It didn't lose any files, but my spaces and t...

I don't want to sound overly contrarian, but here's a guess.
Probably many of the Obsidian plugin community are working professionals or are otherwise tied into the ADO/Agile philosophy.
One of the ...

With particular interest in MadaboutDana's ever scholarly opinion, I've found an interesting Obsidian plugin.
Make.md could be better documented, which might actually establish creds in the Obsidian ...

You may have The One True Outliner, but what of workflows? Organization within your use case?
The world must follow your efforts!

Well, Obsidian can be used for free for commercial purposes in certain environments.
From the current Obsidian site:
You need to pay for Obsidian if and only if you use it to contribute, directly or...
Doh!!!
Yes, works perfectly.
Obsidian's built in and community outlining is limited. Bike is better.
My opinion, of course, and from a mere hack, not a real writer.

Obsidian hits a perfect target. It's a framework for notes with a flexible API.
I think my favorite outlining in Obsidian would be with a Bike file in the Obsidian vault. Bike's hyperlinks feature wo...

Looks like the tip jar works. I'll keep it in mind for future months.

Sometimes, you don't have the options you'd like.
I appreciate your hospitality and the fine intellectual discussion found on your site.
All the best - should you post an online tip jar, I'll contri...

Thank you both for your kind words.

Dear 22111,
You are free to ignore my advice, as I am to decline yours. Strewn here to either trample or appreciate as the spirit moves you are a couple of suggestions.

Dear 22111,
I clearly have a writer's thick skin for bad reviews. You suggest that I am common and should set aside my word processor. I am unbothered. It's truly OK. I win some, I lose some, I have ...

There is no evidence the domain has been stolen. Whois says the domain was last updated in August of last year and it expires in August of 23.

Disclaimer - I haven't used this, but it looks cool.
On my list of things to try is Pelican, a Python static website generator.

Friction vs. Features

A related issue, the quickest way I can kill a story idea is to tell someone what I'm thinking about writing.
It's axiomatic. All tentative story ideas - mine, anyway - sound dumb. The good ones and ...

I think MacSE is concerned about spam, and that's quite valid. In the case of the developers who post here it seems to be more open communication than sales pitch.
If a vendor did a drive-by advertis...
Curio 25 released

Looping back on Curio, I've discovered an interesting workflow.
I like the idea of notes flying in close formation. If I make a note about a magic lantern in chapter 1, I want another instance of tha...
