UpNote continues to improve
5/3/2021
I’ve found UpNote significantly more pleasant to use than SnipNotes, and have in fact removed the latter from my machine(s). Not to say anything against SnipNotes, which has some great features,...
I love this concept by @Luhmann – although Pierre’s question is an interesting one.
On the other hand: scaling ANY task management app is a challenge!

I haven’t written about UpNote for a while, but it’s worth pointing out that this is one excellent cross-platform note-taking app that’s under steady, thoughtful development and work...

Well, I guess this depends on what you mean by “serious desktop work”. I still do serious work on my 2013 MacBook Air (with just 4GB of RAM), although I was foolish enough to install Big S...

Hm, I think you’re talking about the older Mac Minis – the new M1 Minis have got USB-C and support Thunderbolt displays. Apple claims they can support one 6K display and one 4K display usi...

Although playing devil’s advocate, a recent article (can’t remember who by) pointed out (not the first time, of course) that buying a Mac Mini and buying a couple of big 4K displays would ...

Interesting – I’ve never heard of it, but it looks really quite powerful.
Thanks, Sarah!

Well, that’s very good news. I blush to say this, but I rather like Edge and use it in preference to other Chromium browsers (a colleague uses Brave, I’ve used and like Vivaldi, Opera used...

And this, of course, is the other aspect of the Apple aesthetic. The software is just so nice. Couple your favourite Mac apps with good-looking computers (okay, okay, Barbie-coloured good-looking comp...

See, I love this. You take a splendidly technical stance and criticise everything about the iMac that hasn’t met your technical expectations. And I get that.
But I don’t have such high te...

I’m amused by the huge numbers of (angeblich pro) Mac users who are whining about (a) the colours and (b) the “chin” of the new M1 iMac.
First, it’s a computer. It doesn’...

Dang, I had no idea Hey allowed you to generate a whole personal blog based on e-mails.
That’s really quite neat!

… I hasten to add that I do use my Troika notebooks! Sometimes it’s just more convenient to jot something down than whisk out the iPhone and start tapping.

Or use one of an increasing number of exceedingly good static website generators like Publii, Automad or Bludit (I know, amazing names, but Automad in particular is seriously cool!)

Hm, there is something ridiculously attractive about neat little boxes or cases – we humans seem to love containers of all sorts, including notebooks (containers of mystic writings).

Personally, I’m urging them to consider making it possible to use Craft as a static website authoring tool. It produces gorgeous collaborative websites already, but on Craft’s own server. ...

I think a lot of people have been seduced by the sheer gorgeousness of Craft’s interface, only to realise that they’re not sure exactly what to do with it.
I’m still wondering mys...

Markology might appeal to you too, or possibly QwikCards (both of them cross-platform macOS/iOS). The very amiable developer of QwikCards is currently rewriting it from scratch in Swift, but the app i...
Outlining in Obsidian

I confess I installed it and then wondered why I’d bothered, since Obsidian’s folding in particular is already quite impressive.

The other thing Craft is amazingly good at is producing seriously well-structured PDFs. I haven’t experimented with this in the web version yet, but if you have a complex Craft document with mul...

Heh, Gingko Writer is back! Adriano’s been hard at work behind the scenes and has rewritten it from scratch:

Zavala is a nice, rapidly evolving outliner – I’ve been playing with it for a couple of months now.
And there’s an iOS version, too!
