Brainio reborn...
Yesterday
You are not wrong, but yes, bulk importing from e.g. proprietary formats is (very) hard. Which is why so many of the best notetaking apps use folders + markdown files as their basic content – because ...

Or maybe they could be sorted (if so desired) by Newest First? But hey, it's brilliant anyway!

That's a point – I'd forgotten that Notebooks can concatenate. Thanks for reminding me!
(Yet another) interesting new app!

It's quite a while since I wrote about Notenik, and during that time, it's progressed from strength to strength. But I don't use it very often, except out of curiosity.
However! My attention was re...
The only app I can think of that more or less directly mirrors OneNote on Linux is BasketNotes (https://basket-notepads.github.io), but I don't think it imports OneNote files.
The best OneNote equ...
Alfons Schmid's Notebooks
2 days ago
Agreed: Alfons is lovely, but how he makes a living out of Notebooks I don't know, because he rarely charges for upgrades. I did use it quite a lot, but since going multi-platform have used it less an...

All-In-One solution?

OneNote is a good example of Cory Doctorow's "enshittification" principle (now defined in Wikipedia, no less: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification)
But I remain astonished at the many per...
What do you value in Ia writer and Ulysses
2 days ago
Absolutely. I remain on the lookout for promising writing apps that can do this, or do what Scrivener and Ulysses do (concatenate multiple notes/documents in a single view). Sadly, the only really sim...

That's interesting – I'd forgotten all about iA Writer's transclusion feature. Obsidian can do the same thing, of course...

Interesting to see how many notetakers are going down this route. Octarine is evolving in a similar direction, and of course it's built into Obsidian. Although Brainio's mindmapping is somewhat closer...

Dang, the people behind Brainio have just released a brand-new, all-rewritten version – currently free of charge! It does look extremely attractive (nice mixture of text, mindmapping and hybrid). More...

Having tested Claude extensively, I would be Very Wary of giving it access to my data. But the idea does look pretty cool.
Logseq DB Update?

... unless one was just CRIMPing, of course, in which case experimenting is half the fun!
Depends on your platform(s): a couple of clues suggest you're working in Windows, but perhaps you could clarify?
And welcome to the forum! We're all Very Proud of the host, Chris, who's just enhanc...
All-In-One solution?

No, that's true – UpNote isn't date-aware at all. You can use TickTick as your all-in-one, of course – I share TickTick in a small office environment, and we have quite a lot of useful notes in there ...

Love the look of this, but (a) it's online-only at the moment? And (b) the subscription price is perhaps a wee bit ambitious for a brand-new solution?
But a really nice idea!

Just another endorsement to say: this really is the bees' knees! Very elegant, very easy to use. I'd love to know what the back end is?

Funnily enough, I caught sight of this just yesterday – but with extraordinary self-discipline, managed to stop myself from downloading it... Damn, maybe I'm going to have to after all...
Oh wow, I hadn't seen that – and I use Task Board! I'll take a look straight away...

HelixNotes and Zorin OS

Bravo! Elementary OS is very nice (and in fact, Zorin OS Pro includes an Elementary-style interface, which is nice).
Installing Zorin on the MacBook Air was ridiculously easy. They've clearly include...

Well! What fun I'm having in my spare time!
As some of you know, I regularly experiment with Linux as I seek to achieve my long-term goal -- moving away from the big U.S. suppliers. But so far, my ex...
