CRIMPing in multiple axes
7/14/2022
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 ...

Indeed, many happy returns! ;-)

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...

Always immensely satisfying! ;-)

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!
6/23/2022
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...
Apps similar to Xtiles and Milanote?
6/23/2022
It doesn't appear to have a search function, however – tell me it ain't so!

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...
UpNote adds collapsible sections
6/16/2022
Oops, sorry, I lied: actually, you can turn any paragraph into a collapsible section, or transform it back into a "normal" text section. All text formatting continues to work in collapsible sections. ...
UpNote adds collapsible sections
6/16/2022
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 ...
iA Writer now has wikilinks
6/15/2022
Thanks, @satis – this reminded me of a couple of features I'd totally forgotten, like the variables and metadata functions.
Worth mentioning that iA Writer now keeps track of hashtags, too...
iA Writer now has wikilinks

Typora is gorgeous, and can be used with iOS markdown editors (e.g. the excellent 1Writer, which is unavailable on macOS) simply by designating the relevant iCloud folder as its "Home" library.
Opal -- new outliner for Mac OS X
6/14/2022
Agree about Zavala – a very elegant alternative to the Workflowy/Dynalist duo.
And I'd love to invest in OutlineEdit. I'll have to update my CRIMPing budget, however...
Cheers!

iA Writer now has wikilinks
6/14/2022
This is nice: iA Writer has been given wikilinks, which work extremely well.
Along with the "content block" transclusion feature (best used in side-by-side markdown + preview mode, or in two separat...
Curio and Devonthink
6/14/2022
While I'm thinking about it, I'd just remind Mac users reluctant to pay Curio's rather robust subscription charges that there is a very capable free alternative in the form of GrowlyNotes (from growly...
Oh, that's disappointing about the reMarkable. I love the concept, but have hesitated due to the (impressively high) price.
I totally agree with you about the mysterious disappearance of devices like...
I loved my AlphaSmart Dana, and took it everywhere with me. I had a ton of Palm software on it, too, so it was seriously useful for all kinds of stuff, although I used it primarily for rapid writing. ...

Dang you, Amontillado, you've just gone and tickled my CRIMPing addiction – just when I thought I was getting on top of it!
Okay, okay, I lie! There's no getting on top of it. Must. Resis...
Legend

I keep taking another look at Legend, and it is remarkably powerful. I need to sit down with it for an extended session.
