Agreed. The other shortcomings I pointed out to the developer were as follows:
Yep, okay, there's markdown. But...
- there’s no smart punctuation – in a writing app!
- there’s no su...
Hm, I’m sorry you had a disappointing experience, @moritz. I use NotePlan every day for my personal task management, and the symptoms you’ve described there are definitely unusual. Setting...
A significant development with Craft

The only downside to the backlinks feature is that it treats each “block” as a page, so you only see backlinks to a block (paragraph) if you “go inside” the block (as Craft use...

Having said all that about transclusion, I’ve also been experimenting with Craft’s internal links. And they are also very impressive.
Craft recently made it very easy to link directly to...

Heh, I confess I’ve just been playing with the Calendar feature, which is very well conceived. Especially impressive is the ability to create an instant “meeting notes” subdocument f...

Also worth mentioning that UpNote has now put bidirectional links in the Info sidebar, à la Obsidian, which is a much better place for them (previously, they were in a dropdown menu).
So you ca...

Craft is wonderful, but as I’ve been using it more in anger, I’ve found there are limitations to the nesting approach, especially in terms of convenient overview. For laying out ideas, it&...

Impressive pace of development, I must say.

It’s worth pointing out that the new table of contents feature works particularly well with imported web pages (clipped using the UpNote Web Clipper extension).

Dang, hadn’t spotted that one – works really well. Nice implementation, too (under other document info like created/modified dates and statistics, but all folding).

True, but as the article you quote points out, there are certain limitations.
But you make a fair point ;-)

Ha, interesting. It must be said, I use the desktop app as my primary version; I hadn’t considered the limitations of the iOS app.
Fascinating how many developers underestimate the importance o...

Couple of points here, just for info:
Bear’s search function is exceptionally good – general searches automatically extend to individual notes and highlight search terms in those notes a...
Hm. Well, I love the enthusiasm and the meta-Shakespeare. Not quite so sure about the concept, to be honest… ;-)

Bravo, Thomas! Another great step forward for UpNote.

Notebooks is one of those hidden gems which tends to get overlooked, being one of the earliest of the “serious” iOS apps. The macOS version is rapidly catching up, too.

This is an important point. But leaving the relationships between stuff to a single app is, I increasingly think, a self-limiting strategy.
Increasingly, I’m looking at ways of creating my main...

And back to Craft again ;-)
I’ve just logged on to the (beta) web editor and I’m very impressed – does more or less exactly what the desktop app does, at commendable speed.
Except,...

Precisely why I use NotePlan, in fact.

Notejoy iOS and Android Apps
5/4/2021
Well, I’ve had to give up testing NoteJoy on my iPhone – it keeps crashing every time I attempt to create a link. Disappointing. Uninstall/reinstall, no doubt.
NotePlan can be used for this kind of time blocking; in fact, it’s a very effective way to organise precisely what you’re describing.
It’s also worth joining the Discord group to se...
Half-baked features

Searches that filter are a great idea – I didn’t realise BBEdit did that. I’ve been doing the same thing with Excel, but it’s horribly limited…

Yes, I’d have to agree with your comments. And in fact, this is why it’s so important to work with developers, urging them to include the features that will make their apps indispensable, ...

Do take a look at UpNote, Ken -- it sounds as if it would fit your use case rather well.
