He's going to roam from Roam
2/18/2022
NotePlan does this very well, of course. But personally, I’ve found my preferred way of making rapid notes to myself is using an Inbox (in my case, in both Notebooks – for general info and...
He's going to roam from Roam
2/17/2022
Heh, I experimented with Roam a little while ago, but never built up any enthusiasm:
a) the UX isn’t great, especially by modern standards
b) the plethora of plugins/extensions etc. is overwhel...
That does look pretty darn cool (even though there are already very similar apps on macOS/iOS).
Cheers!

My Medium article about Legend
2/15/2022
Hey Steve,
I enjoyed your article, which I thought gave a very fair account of Legend.
It’s an amazing app, but can end up being quite confusing. After spending a little time trying to make th...
The Block Protocol

Sorry, I realise I didn’t really finish my musing here: yes, I think this is a great idea, but there are a number of different “block” models (compare e.g. the Divi WordPress theme w...
Craft 2.0 - For Everyone!
2/10/2022
What’s impressive about Craft is the steady pace of development – it’s a rapidly evolving product.
That’s always the most encouraging sign that (a) the underlying platform is ...
The Block Protocol
2/8/2022
I think it’s a great idea. There is a plethora of (in many cases, excellent) software predicated on blocks – not least WordPress’s latest version of their editor in 5.9.
For block t...
Sure, no worries.

I use a couple: CClean (the new version has just come out and is quite good), OnyX, and occasionally TrashMe 3.0. I’m running on macOS 12.1

Respect, @Maurice!
Just a small heads-up; I’ve found that backlinks tend to disappear from Zavala whenever I run a general cache-clearing session (which I do fairly regularly, because my machin...

Typora has finally (!) exited beta status, and is now a buyable app. For a very modest $15!
It’s genuinely cross-platform (macOS, Windows, Windows ARM and Linux), and is for my money one of the...

Erm, in most apps you can switch off cloud syncing… Just saying!

You ought to give Effie a try… still a new app, so in its early stages, but mindmapping is very nicely integrated into it. And the developers are very amiable. And it costs a small fraction of T...
Best wishes for 2022

Thanks, Sarah, that’s very kind. Well, I enjoy offering potentially helpful suggestions! If they end up being genuinely helpful, that’s even better.
Take care and very best of luck in wha...

Agreed – Taskade are taking a responsible approach by posting regular updates to this specific thread, effectively turning it into a log. Personally, I like this approach, and would encoura...

I’m enjoying experimenting with it. Still very early days, I guess, but the basic feature set is already nice.
And the team sounds very enthusiastic!

Sounds like you’re using Windows, Karel? If so, you could also look at Notebooks (first developed for iOS, then macOS, but also available for Windows), which has a totally transparent folder/not...

In theory, I agree. In practice, the concept of “unlimited” storage is purely theoretical.
I suspect this offer is based on an actuarial calculation: most people won’t use more tha...
Thanks, Steve. It’s actually a very nice app, especially on Mac/iOS.
A bit like Bear, but with folders instead of (nested) tags and a rather nice mindmapping feature that works with bullet list...

Hm, interesting choice of backup format, but fine.
MS-Word can, of course, read HTML files perfectly well, so that would be my suggestion. You could use Word to save out the HTML file(s) as .docx fi...
