Broader musings

I've been reflecting on this whole Working From Home thing (in principle, a CRIMPer's dream!), and after, yet again, having had to untangle yet another appalling administrative mess perpetrated by one...
Craft 2.0 - For Everyone!
7/22/2022
Piqued by your question and with my interest now aroused, I had a root around in History Book to find out exactly how much data it has been saving over the past couple of months (I've been using it si...
Craft 2.0 - For Everyone!

I agree, it's the key question, and one I carefully asked myself before switching History Book on. I save a lot of web pages to specific repositories anyway, in the course of my daily research, so did...
Craft 2.0 - For Everyone!
7/21/2022
Sorry, @tberni – History Book's available via the Mac App Store, in fact, and is also available for iOS/iPadOS (I use iCloud to synchronise between my MacBooks and my iPad).

Interesting – I haven't checked out Freeplane for a while – time to CRIMP!

It's also worth noting that a growing number of outliners (okay, okay, Obsidian, Roam, LogSeq, Effie, Taskade, various versions of TiddlyWiki...) offer multiple views including idea maps AND outlines....

Yes, that's an interesting point. That's why we all mourn the passing of Tree Outliner (although Dashword is trying hard to replace it on macOS and Windows).

Interesting point about Apple Notes, @satis – especially since the beta version in the impending OS upgrade will add some powerful new features, including substantially improved support for...

That's a question, Simon, which only you can answer. Would Craft be a good fit for your way of working, is the nub of it. And since none of us knows how you work or what processes you use, it's imposs...
UpNote adds collapsible sections
7/14/2022
For example, the development of the collapsible section to include Cut Copy Delete is a (very fast!) response to one of my requests, because I wanted to be able to move collapsible sections around mor...

@jaslar, do also feel free to contact the developer, Thomas Dao – he's immensely responsive and will seriously consider incorporating new features if requested. I made a whole bunch of sugg...
CRIMPing in multiple axes

Hm, I can't think of anything particularly unusual I do with my various task management apps (apart from using the TickTick outlining facility rather more than, I suspect, the developers ever thought ...

Heh heh heh – I love GAS, but I like this option, too! "Injudicious Machine Purchasing" certainly describes some of the goodies still tucked away in my shelves somewhere (two Psion MX5s, an...

Okay, this is a bit silly, but after reading the rather amusing reasons why a journalist (who writes primarily about Apple) is sticking with Windows, a lot of which boil down to the fact that he can p...
Lady Bumps and Data Dumps

My dear chap,
You clearly have a rather extraordinary mind.
Your anti-Apple rants are quite entertaining, but because they don't appear to be based on any actual macOS/iOS experience, not very usefu...

It's been a while since I last wrote about NotePlan, but after a brief falling-out, I've returned to the fold and am re-examining my relationship with this extraordinarily powerful piece of software.

Apps for Scratchpads
6/27/2022
SideNotes is one of my preferred quickies (I don't put quick notes in Apple Notes any more, because I've got thousands of notes in there! But it's a good solution)
If I'm doing fast drafts of small-s...
Great day for updates!

I love all the iWork apps (especially Numbers), but am put off by one major flaw – the size of the files created. They're enormous! Compared to, yes, MS-Office (which uses heavily compresse...

UpNote adds collapsible sections
6/16/2022
It's worth noting that a collapsible section can contain any/all kinds of object that you can already embed in a note (links, images, tables, dividing lines, etc.). They're extremely flexible. They al...

Quite an interesting update to a steadily evolving app that's turned into a very good one: multi-platform UpNote (Mac, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android). Thomas has added "collapsible sections", which ...
