SheetPlanner 2.0 Launch
12/17/2020
Yo Peter, I’ve reinstalled SheetPlanner to see what version 2.0 is like, and am unable to use it because it appears to have detected a trial version 1.0 and is urging me to either unlock the lat...
Outlinely gets a (minor) update
12/11/2020
As I investigate Craft a bit more closely, I’m also impressed at the pace of development. All sorts of nice things introduced in the latest update.
And already you can open documents in multipl...

Craft do, however, have one of the most elegant product demonstrations I’ve ever seen, that’s also a useful guide to the art of programming in Apple’s Catalyst:

Outlinely gets a (minor) update

Yes, I was fascinated to discover that the MacStories crew (of whom Federico and John are two) have moved over to Craft so rapidly.

The demise of native coded apps
12/9/2020
Very interesting, Martin – this confirms what I’ve thought about IT markets (specifically consumer-focused ones!).
Apple has managed to corral the high-end markets for itself, more o...

True, the Chinese provenance has always been my reservation.
But I really have to wonder if anything I put on TickTick could be remotely interesting to some Chinese lurker obsessively collecting data...
Outlinely gets a (minor) update

I tend to agree with you, Simon. I had a bit of a play with Craft, and while I loved some of the ideas, found that some of them come across as gimmicky rather than value-adding.
But it’s a love...
The demise of native coded apps
12/7/2020
I’m not convinced that there’s a huge swing to platform-neutral languages. Most of the best macOS apps run natively. Yes, there are a bunch of desirable apps based on Electron, but in my e...

Yes, the transclusion is a very neat feature – simple but effective (like all the best info management apps).
MyInfo 7 may be released soon
12/2/2020
It is a great app, sadly one I no longer use because Mac, but I’d be very pleased to see it on macOS.
Perhaps he was unusually prescient and has simply been awaiting the perfect moment (so he ...
About (especially "Outliner") subscriptions and the like (NOT OT here, but not at all indeed...)

I confess I haven’t read 22111’s lengthy posts, nor am I very familiar with The Brain (I much prefer KnowledgeBase Builder), but the jump-thoughts concept certainly appeals to me.
The end of the Taking Note blog
12/2/2020
Yes, I discovered Taking Note comparatively recently (from this forum, I believe), and very much enjoyed Manfred’s broad range of references.

Hi Martin,
Good to see a developer in the forum! Coppice is a nice new find – I’ve been toying with it over the past couple of days. There are a few bugs (notably a rather odd one wh...
The Rise and Fall of Getting Things Done

While finding the perfect time management app is, I suggested, a losing game, I’m always impressed by apps that make the effort to appeal to EVERYBODY!
Take the humble TickTick, for example. It...

Heh, love it! *Almost* sounds tempting… ;-)
Thanks for the Mark Forster link.

@Dr Andus
Fascinating use case: yes, I have to agree that this sounds like a very valid way of using backlinks. Funnily enough, I’m finding the (identical) feature in NotePlan useful for exactl...

Thanks for the article – I was most amused!
Yes, deciding how best to manage tasks of all kinds is definitely a losing game. Not least because there doesn’t appear to be one single system...

It does look quite impressive. But I’m still playing with the latest version of Notion, which has added a number of interesting features (including timelines). Ah, too much CRIMPing, too little ...

Pleco looks pretty cool. It’s a shame it’s focused on Chinese, which I don’t currently have time to learn. I’m sure it could be extended to cover other languages, too!
Cheers,...
Ha, that’s quite impressive!
I still have pens, but I’m regularly frustrated to find that most of them dried up long ago and no longer work… :-(

Yes, I regularly use the dictionary in Kindle already – but Kindle doesn’t (at least, on Kindle readers it doesn’t) allow you to create your own glossaries/flash cards.

Interesting. I’ve got a fair amount of info in Outlinely, and it’s been pretty rock-solid. But experience can vary (really quite a lot).
Has anybody taken a look at the intriguing new Cra...

Well, I’m sure we all aspire to read and learn, but in this case, I’m talking about an iOS/iPadOS app called “Read and Learn” (readandlearnapp.com) which is one of the best ide...

Yes, there is life! Perhaps the developer feels that Outlinely is as perfect as it could be?
It is a very good app, I have to admit. Perfect? Perhaps not.
In any case, the very, very, very sporadic...
