Revisiting subscriptions
11/27/2018
@Amontillado: it sounds as if Scrivener would be a good fit with your needs; it's not just a writing tool, it's also a very useful information repository (with a good search function). The dual-window...

And the developer's enthusiastic notes accompanying version 3.2 (which updated just this morning on my machine) suggests this is just a temporary thing... he's rewritten a lot of stuff, apparently, an...

Ah, well spotted. I haven't corresponded with him in some time, so it's good to hear he's (re)committed to Quiver - hopefully also the iOS version!

Oh, wow, yes, Quiver appears to have disappeared from the Mac App Store as well!
Goodness, that's a huge shame. What a great app Quiver is - I guess that means it won't be developed any further. I'll...

Oh, and having said that development work on Notebooks appeared to be stagnating, I've just found the following post on Alfon's blog:

Ah, as the festive season lights up ahead I find myself confronting - once again - my long list of subscriptions on the App Store and Mac App Store.
Actually, it's a list that's rapidly getting short...
Promising new notes app
11/14/2018
And UpNote continues to evolve - the latest version has been substantially improved.
Searches now highlight terms in notes (very fast and efficiently). Notebooks can be shown in the left-hand navigat...
Trunk Notes personal wiki closes up shop
11/14/2018
Yup, that's what prevented me from taking it more seriously. It had a lot of outstanding features, including scripting. But without a desktop equivalent, it was difficult to turn it into the universal...
Sorting Thoughts?

Nope...
Sorting Thoughts?
11/7/2018
The short answer is: no, and no. At least, not in the rather hasty experiments I've done. Clearly the editor doesn't run on HTML (unusual, nowadays), because it won't accept anything copied from a web...
Sorting Thoughts?
11/6/2018
Just been sniffing again at Sorting Thoughts 2.0.
Well, what an interesting app. A classic two-pane outliner, but with some neat extras, including projects, tasks, subtasks, subtasks of subtasks and ...
Outliner for nonfiction book
11/6/2018
Rats; while XMind are already promoting the latest version of XMind:ZEN, it's not available for download yet. You won't find the cool Outline feature in the version on their website (at the moment). S...
Outliner for nonfiction book
11/6/2018
Ah - now here's another intriguing entry in the single-pane outliner stakes: XMind:ZEN
The latest version is both a mind-mapping tool and an outliner. I've not had a chance to assess it yet, but it l...
Outliner for nonfiction book
11/5/2018
Interesting, washere, especially the discussion of outlining on the LibreOffice website. The usefulness of outlining is clearly underestimated by those who don't use it.
Quite a useful alternative to...
Notion.io is my new favorite
11/4/2018
Ha, yes, the "Board of Directors" test! Good luck with that - senior managers are undoubtedly the best/worst possible testing group of all!
I've tried so many solutions for client extranets that have...
It is a good app, I must say, especially if you use subtasks for notes!
Outliner for nonfiction book
11/1/2018
Franz is quite right. And of course you can turn Scrivener into a simple one-pane outliner if you want to (using the appropriate Workspace setup). But with all the bells and whistles in the background...
TheBrain 10 released
11/1/2018
Personally, I'd as soon use WriteMapper to do what you've described (https://writemapper.com). It's available for macOS, Windows and iOS, and costs a small fraction of TheBrain. Of course it's only go...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
10/30/2018
Outlining in Ulysses would be amazing, I must say. It's neck and neck with Bear in my affections...
But iaWriter has also made some great progress recently. And there are some promising new arrivals,...
Remember the Milk Gets a Total Overhaul
10/30/2018
For your purposes, Ken, it sounds as if you should take another look at 2Do. It's been evolving at amazing speed, and the latest version is a cunning blend of simplicity and complexity. You can read a...
Remember the Milk Gets a Total Overhaul
10/29/2018
Hey Ken,
No, I stopped using RTM a little while ago after discussing task management concerns with my colleagues. We've gone back to using the ever-evolving TickTick, which remains a very convenient ...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
10/29/2018
I agree: if Ulysses, iaWriter, Bear or any number of other competent markdown apps (e.g. Strike, MWeb, TextNut) included simple folding (under hierarchical headings, for example, as very well done by ...
Todoist 2018
10/22/2018
Just a suggestion for notes - while I was working with Todoist, which I did for a while because it's effectively a powerful outliner (albeit with some really annoying features, which is why I ditched ...
Processes not tools
9/25/2018
I think there are some great points here. And if I weren't an inveterate CRIMPer, I would embrace your philosophy wholeheartedly!
On the other hand, the term "mainstream" is a problematic one (as a f...
Actually, in view of your needs, you could do worse than look at Zettlr (recently referenced in another thread). I'm using it in conjunction with AutoTask (formerly Soonr, a business-oriented Dropbox ...
