Good advice.

Friction vs. Features
3/18/2023
Some friction can be eliminated with helper apps, like Keyboard Maestro or AutoHotkey. I don't mind an application benefitting from a little automation. KM is universally useful, so if an app needs th...
Curio 25 released
3/15/2023
You are quite right. That's a blind spot I have. For reasons of obstinance I don't use cloud sync, and my mobile writing is all on a Macbook.
I tend not to notice if an app has a mobile version, so m...
Curio 25 released
3/15/2023
Use cases make all the difference. I prefer mind mapping in Curio over MindNode, for example. Curio is more flexible in linking and I can put other forms of notes side-by-side with a mind map. The fol...
That's a pretty cool idea. I bet you could do something similar with Dataview in Obsidian, or with a map of content in almost anything.
The layers concept sounds a little like versioning, although I ...
Curio 25 released
3/14/2023
I'm very much looking forward to exploring this. Among other things, Curio now has a query language which will, if I understand correctly, build collections of links as mind maps or Kanban-style stack...
Update to Bike

Yes, here's hoping certain history doesn't repeat. Bike is endearing in its simplicity.

Update to Bike

Version 1.9 is out. There are statistics and focus navigation, new scrolling options, and nice features.
The new focus navigation menu may cause some confusion. It did for me, anyway.
You have to fo...

As many generations of my family were wont to say, 22111, them's fightin' words.
The rest of this post voluntarily redacted. It's a good thing, to rant, fulminate, and to defend good people.
But it ...
C'mon, man, please leave room for others having experience you would benefit from.

Regarding Hyper Plan as an outliner, I have not used it as a writing tool for some time - but I use it daily for personal management and it saves my bacon regularly.

Hang on a sec.
Whining? Andy? Hardly. He isn't in competition with Scrivener. He just made a business observation.
Andy's Hyperplan works well as a replacement for Plottr. Set attributes for plot th...
Well, personally, I don't know Mr. Brice. I just buy his software for a fraction of what it's worth and exploit the crud out of it for personal gain. :-)

Great tool, and L&L's policy is to offer either free upgrades across major versions or upgrades at good discounts, no matter how old a license is.

Obsidian with Web Apps
2/21/2023
I have Devonthink's server edition and tried to paste the DT web address in an Obsidian canvas.
My guess is Obsidian didn't like my self-signed cert. When I have more time I'll try setting DT up for ...
Devonthink will do this, although you have to take steps to preserve manual sort order.

Thank you. I feel much better already.
Well, you may be painting with an overly broad brush.
Writer's software doesn't write, with the exception of ChatGPT. An outline can crush the life out of a story, but when that happens to me it's no...

Tinderbox would almost certainly have a way to do this.

Nice to hear Writing Outliner is in continuing development. It's a powerful addition to Word.
Outlining and cloned entries

Other OS's? Mac, by any chance?
Outlining and cloned entries
2/5/2023
I've often thought it would be nice to be able to have an outline entry appear in more than one place in an outline.
For instance, a flashback to an event already covered in the narrative.
I didn't ...
