Gingko Desktop

Yup, that's the one. I used to do quite a lot of work with this tool.

Reminds me a bit of the (now-defunct) Writers Cafe, a rather elegant piece of software in its day.

Thanks, washere; a few there I haven't heard of before. I shall definitely take a look!
Ha! Glad I held out...

In fact, I didn't *entirely* hold out - I got a Wacom Folio instead, which is a notebook with a cunningly concealed digitiser that responds to a battery-less pen. You'll find lots of reviews slagging ...

... as Apple announces that henceforth, their base-level iPad will support Apple Pencil! And Logitech promptly announce a "Crayon" that will be half the price of a Pencil.
Actually, that's amazing. T...
Yup! You is well and truly bitten by the CRIMP bug! Congratulations!

The convoluted markdown sounds very intriguing! Please do send it, or post it somewhere downloadable.
Thanks very much!

Slightly baffled by this: Scrivener DOES have a "main central big editor window" as a default feature...
But you can set up Scrivener workspaces to do anything you like. In some of my files, I have f...
Making lists from URLs
3/22/2018
Oh yes, it certainly can - you can have as many layers of subitems as you like, on both sides of the outline (i.e. in the navigation bar AND in the editor).
But I'm not sure it does numbering. No, in...

Intriguing: what exactly do you mean by "multi-layered"? You could argue that Todoist is multi-layered (navigation bar outlines, in turn referring to editor outlines), but clearly you have something e...
Workflowy updates their iOS app
3/21/2018
Yes, I've become somewhat disillusioned with the mostly excellent Outlinely as Glam Development cease talking to anyone and fail to release any updates at all. They did exactly the same thing with the...

Yup, dual outlines, in fact. It's a dual-pane app that can "fold" the contents of the left-hand navigation pane AND the right-hand "editor" pane. It supports markdown, and you can switch off the check...
MindManager back for Mac
3/19/2018
Agree with satis here - setapp was set up specifically for small devs, and I correspond with several of them directly (Manuscript, Timer, Findings et al). There are a couple of more significant compan...

Todoist is a very useful outliner, it must be said, with fantastic cross-platform support.
Otherwise I'd go with washere's recommended simplenote, or else with Joplin, both of which have full cross-p...

Looks extremely promising, Peter. I'm drooling, anyway.
MindManager back for Mac
3/15/2018
So MindManager 11 is now available for macOS, after dropping out for quite a while following a less than enthusiastic reception for their first Mac product.

Does anyone know iDatabase ?
3/13/2018
I have played with it, but quite a long time ago. From memory, and without exploring the latest version of iDatabase, I believe it's much simpler than TapForms, which is semi-relational and includes a...
Unorthodox/clever software usage?

Sorry, yes, it hadn't occurred to me that Daly might be talking about external ads -- I use ad blockers of various kinds on all my browsers, so I rarely see ads!
Unorthodox/clever software usage?
3/12/2018
Did you mean Andy's post about HyperPlan, Daly? I don't think that's quite fair: Andy contributes a fair amount to the forum, and his contribution in this case produced an interesting reply from washe...
I'm very pleased with Joplin – it works across my Android phone, iPad, a couple of Macs and a Windows portable. The synchronisation is very efficient (and tells you exactly what's going on, whic...
Ooh, now, I don't agree with that. Well, I do agree, in that the editor is a totally basic text editor, without the hybrid Preview we're all getting used to now thanks to Ulysses, Bear etc.
But Jopli...
Yes, the snippet thing is cool - it's one of the reasons I like Quiver so much, and am so disappointed it hasn't made its way to iOS (well, it has, but it's effectively useless).
I've taken a look at BoostNote, but have to say that open-source Joplin - with its support for GitHub Markdown and Math, backed up by seamless end-to-end encryption - suits my needs much better (but t...
Actually, they cover Android phones as well.
Rats!
