Online information management using Typemill
3 days ago
Hi Franz,
Sorry, a bit overloaded with work at the mo.
I host the site on IONOS (Germany), where we've hosted all our websites since the early noughties. Very reasonably priced, very robust servers ...
It's a nice app – I had a brief play, then got sucked in and took a more serious look; this ended up in a list of issues I noticed, which I sent to Alex MacCaw (as suggested). But it's already very ca...

I wanted to write up the virtues of a very elegant open-source app, Typemill (https://typemill.net), which is one of the simplest, most elegant text-focused CMS solutions I've found to date. It's a fl...

It's turning into a very attractive app, but for the life of me I can't work out how to set wordcount goals. I've clicked and right-clicked on the wordcounts shown in the "cards" and in the status bar...
Apps for Retirement

@Luhmann, interesting thoughts on the role of LLMs. A quote from Brad DeLong (historian and blogger) on local models:
“Well, the championship LLM in terms of ‘thought quality’ of those I have downl...

Well said. You mention NotePlan, which – although expensive – does do almost every possible thing you could want a PKM to do. I love it, but reluctantly abandoned it due to (a) cost, (b) diversificati...

Heh, yes, I've actually been looking at a brand-new Craft installation (having over-filled my own with too much stuff, much of it unsorted and rather inelegant, all collected since the earliest days o...

Can't argue with that. It is quite a nice sharing platform (although my wife found it so annoying she flatly refused to use it). And it does look lovely :-)
Miss the old VooDooPad?

You are amazing, Mark! I've never seen anything quite like it – MojoPad comes across as an astonishingly mature app, despite the dizzying rate of development.
I shall have to invest (not least beca...
Apps for Retirement

Increasingly, I'm looking for apps that work across all platforms, not just Mac and Windows (reading a lot of Cory Doctorow at the moment, and boy, the manipulations of Big Tech are just so depressing...
Yes, that impressed me too!
Cheers,
Bill

I've tried to love Craft, but after many years of fiddling with it and never finding a "best way" to integrate it with my own ways of working, I've finally abandoned it. But I can see why it appeals t...
First things first: it's a very beautiful app, really very good looking (nice website, too).
A few observations:
- even after messing about for a bit, I couldn't work out how to include items from...
Dang, sounds interesting! I shall have to check it out...
Obsidian as writing tool

Thought I'd just put in a quick note about an Obsidian plugin I've just discovered: Canvas2Document. Basically, it generates a complete document from all or selected cards/notes on an Obsidian canvas ...
Coppice is back!

Interesting. I've been playing with Coppice (not for long, admittedly), and so far it's been rather good. There are things still missing and a couple of clunkers, but also some very nice, elegant touc...
Coppice is back!

A wonderful Mac app known as Coppice, originally developed by Martin Pilkington who then, alas, died, has been updated and brought back to the Mac App Store by a friend of his, Stephen Troughton-Smith...
Miss the old VooDooPad?

Well, if there's two things that would be wonderful:
a) folding (under headers, perhaps)
b) the ability, currently exclusive to Ulysses (and the alas defunct Novellus), to view multiple documents/no...

It's unbelievably powerful, Mark – I've been sitting there admiring the gorgeous graph and the various views it supports (as well as the fact that you can view pages alongside the graph). Wow.

I can confirm that I run Ollama in local-only mode (you can completely deactivate its web access), generally running Qwen3 as my local model (pretty good, on the whole). I've been running it with note...

And now the embedding is consistent! Great stuff.
Miss the old VooDooPad?

Ah, weird. It's just embedded, after I converted the page to markdown and then back to rich text... not quite sure how I did that. I'll see if it's reproducible...

Hm, no, just downloaded 1.5.1, and I'm not seeing an embed. Maybe because of folders?

Quiver redux

It's great to see it back – I've just reopened a Quiver library I haven't checked out since 2015!!!
