Multicolumn list program?

Workflowy’s “boards” are much more impressive than I realised. But after watching their video on “fractal boards” (the web page also has a demo Workflowy outline you can ...
Notion.io is my new favorite
6/5/2020
Following Notion’s expansion of the terms of its “free” user policy, I’ve been having a bit of a play.
And yes, it’s an awesome app. Almost ridiculously powerful, but al...
Another interesting new app
5/29/2020
(macOS, iOS impending)
Nice new app from an individual developer, currently Mac desktop only (but he’s working on an iOS version). TidyCards is a rather good take on kanban task/project managem...
(Software: iPadOS/macOS)
I recently acquired a second-hand iPad Pro, primarily so I could draw on it. But in actual fact, I’ve unexpectedly discovered the joys of handwriting on the thing! I us...
TiddlyWiki Toolmap

Interesting links from washere: thanks. I keep a close eye on TiddlyWiki, even though I no longer use it as a key note-taking app.
Cheers,

Interesting new app

Ah, interesting difference in US vs. British usage there. “Mad about Dana” in BritEng = “Passionately in love with/adoring of Dana”. In AmerEng, of course, it means “Angr...
Interesting new app
5/26/2020
This isn’t, strictly speaking, outliner-related, but it is kind of.
(The software I’m about to introduce is iPadOS/macOS only, I’m afraid.)
A new app is just in the process of appe...
Taskheat

It is a rather nice app - I’ve tried it out for projects. But there are certain irritations; the behaviour of the mind map is odd and sometimes unpredictable. However, this was quite a few month...
Obsidian gets folding
5/15/2020
“sparks joy” – that’s a lovely phrase, perfectly describing the thrill felt by a veteran CRIMPer when s/he encounters an app that is a genuine pleasure to use! UX is still vast...
Workflowy - Updates? News?
5/11/2020
Well, I tend to use kanban very loosely for all kinds of categorisation. Your approach is more or less standard (like “Intray”, “To do”, “Doing”, “Done”...
This is rough on early users, and disappointing when the concept itself is so clearly exceptional.
It’s interesting to contrast the slow-but-solid Workflowy approach, which is often criticised ...
Workflowy - Updates? News?
5/5/2020
Ah, no, I lied! Actually, you CAN drag and drop cards between columns (by pressing and holding on the roundel thingy). Wow!
Workflowy - Updates? News?
5/5/2020
Actually, the kanban feature really IS cool, not least because it remembers the setting for a specific node, and you can easily collapse (fold) sub-nodes in their respective columns. Hot damn!
Wow! T...
Workflowy - Updates? News?
5/5/2020
Hot damn, that kanban feature is seriously cool! Love it!

Good grief - that’s actually very impressive. And the video is a very nice demonstration of what you’re aiming to achieve.
That’s going to be an amazing product (in the not-too-dist...
simple Task management in Google Sheets
4/21/2020
Numbers also allows you to fold - although it can be a bit complicated to set up.
I’d agree with Frank, Jonas - obviously your post is relevant to Obsidian and this thread, but do create a separate thread about Thinktool, too.
Cheers!

Wot, you mean apart from sucking away all Robert Luke’s money… ;-)
Stay safe and healthy, everyone!

Absolutely - this is one of the major reasons why I’ve moved away from Ulysses (and Bear, actually), although I’m very fond of it both as a writing but also as an information management ap...
Nice one, washere - that’s a really interesting breakdown.
I shall apply it to the online stuff we’re currently working on!
Cheers,

Useful Article Explaining Zettelkasten
4/12/2020
Thanks, @Luhmann, for bringing Roam into this - yes, it’s an amazing app, I’d love to use it, but now have a firm policy in place that I won’t confide any data to an app that only ex...

The main issue with Typora is that it doesn’t distinguish between the markdown hashtag used for headings, and hashtags used for tagging purposes. As far as Typora is concerned, all hashtags = he...
I fear the Omni Group has run out of steam in recent years.
Listen, I hate to say that. I love small, independent developers, and being able to use OmniOutliner was one of the things I most looked fo...
Outliner for granular writing?
4/7/2020
Sorry, yes, you’re quite right. It’s a Mac-only app, unfortunately.
But they had BIG plans for further development a couple of years ago. I’m hoping it’s one of those projects...

Well said, Alexander and Andy!
It’s certainly a useful opportunity to reflect on what really matters to us all.
Take care, everyone!
