SilverBullet
Today
Just been taking a first *serious* look at Silverbullet and (with this time genuine apologies to @Prion!), colour me impressed! I had failed to realise just how "simple but sophisticated" it is until ...
... the other tiny thing that's really imaginative is "Prose" mode, meaning you can right-click any line to transform it into a simple paragraph without a bullet point – suitable, as the developer say...
Roam Research -- Recent Experience?

As Amontillado essentially implies, syllogistic ontological metaperception is not the same thing as cognitive entropy...

Kosshi Is Database-Backed Outlining
Yesterday
One of the nicest things about Kosshi – and yes, it's a tiny thing – is that when you zoom in or out (it responds to the standard Mac Cmd+ - / Cmd + + keyboard shortcuts), it actually changes the font...
Kosshi Is Database-Backed Outlining
Yesterday
Oh, I'm so tempted, even though it doesn't (and probably won't ever) run on Android. It's really very nice, and I love the integration with Calendar/Reminders. But no, I'm not getting an iPhone just s...
Roam Research -- Recent Experience?
Yesterday
Personally, I do not use any app directly connected with AI (or if I do, I deactivate the AI functionality), because doing so would make me far too dependent on the latter (and its vagaries).
I do...

Erm, where is your website? Sorry, sorry, appears at the top of this thread... d'oh!

I'm rather impressed – especially by the developer's careful explanation of his decisions (reminiscent of Jesse!).
I'm having a play, despite no longer using iOS...

That makes sense – and actually accounts for most of the footprint.

Well, I've spent an hour or so checking out Final|FINAL, and I must say that's a very impressive achievement! You've created something that's as functional as much more mature products in a remarkably...

Most entertaining – after recent discussions of other "final" apps, you may finally have nailed it!
Forum redesign

Now now! No less a person than Professor Dawkins has suggested that AI may indeed be conscious (after lengthy interaction with his agent "Claudia"...). So it *must* be true...

Trouble is, when one's exchanging news and views in writing, it's not always easy to read (what passes for) humour into people's remarks, and in my experience quite a lot of the criticism on our forum...

I have to say, this is why I actually use a completely separate tool (the super-search engine FoxTrot Professional) to scour through my now vast archive of reference materials (including every kind of...

An attractive concept, but a very personal one. Frankly, all the messing about with frontmatter attributes, tagging etc. to produce databases, meta-glossaries etc. is a bit OTT (in fact, my appalled d...

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!

What do you value in Ia writer and Ulysses

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

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)

What do you value in Ia writer and Ulysses

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...
