PC OUTLINE

Very amusing! I was just reading an article that suggests well-known authors like Anne Rice and George R. R. Martin still use WordStar, for goodness’ sake!
Personally, I think WordPerfect was t...
Anytype.io
8/6/2024
Well, contrary to many expectations (my own included!), AnyType continues to flourish and thrive.
The latest version has had some nice upgrades to the UI.
And the UX has improved too, now that unive...

Well, no, NotesHub doesn’t “export” as such, but there are very good reasons for that.
NotesHub saves all its files to straightforward markdown text files (locally, or for syncing ...
This one’s for Mac users only, I’m afraid.
FoxTrot are running a discount campaign. They’re offering a 15% discount on first-time purchases of FoxTrot 7 (Pro, Server or Personal) f...

It’s worth reading about the latest features: https://about.noteshub.app/blog/archive/2024/7/noteshub-34
The developer is meticulous about documenting them. He doesn’t use a conventional ...

Okay, for Mac, iPhone and iPad users out there: NotesHub has just had a major upgrade and now features universal search, in-document search, and filters (including filters by tag/favourite/date/comple...
Heh, speaking of which, my recharging iPhone has just automatically upgraded itself, and is now showing me a very charming clock + calendar view (it’s sitting on its side) which I’ve never...
The elephant in the room: AI
7/4/2024
So, AI seems to be making its way into/onto pretty much all software platforms. And this is not necessarily a good thing.
There are many reasons for this, which I won’t discuss in detail here (...
Curio 28 has been released (Mac only)

Thanks for the update, @Amontillado, and for the entertaining musings on the Compositions feature...
It sounds enticing!
Cheers!

Heh, I’m impressed! I’ve just been dragging and dropping lists from Bike into Zavala and vice versa. Works very smoothly in both directions!
I shall experiment with other Markdown apps!
Excellent! Thanks, Maurice – nested tags is one of the best possible ways to organise stuff (as you say, using them is entirely optional!). Great decision!

I’m a bit baffled by Loop. I joined and had a play a few months ago, but was appalled to find that the Search function was almost totally useless. Otherwise, Loop is a very attractive environmen...
Bike Outliner: Adds Row Types
6/5/2024
Just wanted to update this topic to sing out in praise of Jesse’s Bike outliner, which has steadily evolved into one of the most impressive writing tools out there.
I’ve just been revisit...
Ah yes, of course – I’d totally forgotten about Outline mode! I’ll give that a go straight away!
Cheers!

Heh, initially I tried the Jesse Grosjean approach, copying and pasting the entire text of Moby Dick into one outline. This didn’t work, because the text was pasted as a single outline item (rat...
I’m just about to test some longer text (so I can check out the Typewriter feature), but in the meantime, am (very) impressed by:
a) the enormously improved speed of switching between outlines ...

... and on Mac, I suspect you’d be looking primarily at EagleFiler and DEVONthink Office (or on the pure search engine front, FoxTrot Pro or even HoudahSpot).

Ah, I’m afraid AnyType is my latest fascination (in the endless CRIMPing round that is life). So far, it’s impressed me very much – a kind of personal version of Notion. Once yo...
Sorry, Maurice, I meant to reply to your e-mail – yes, switching from one outline to another is MUCH faster! Bravo!
On the other hand, backlinks are still showing a distressing tendency to...
Work-Alike Alternative To Dynalist
4/3/2024
Ah, sorry, I had forgotten. Yes, it does indeed store your data locally, albeit in fully encrypted format. You retain total control of your data, but it is automatically backed up to AnyType’s s...
Work-Alike Alternative To Dynalist
4/3/2024
Ah, I have spotted the flaw, however: AnyType keeps your data online; I’m not sure it’s possible to work on a local data file. Need to check!
Work-Alike Alternative To Dynalist

The other advantage of AnyType is that you can move any paragraph of text (a “block” in AnyType-speak – and indeed in e.g. Craft-speak) to any other note or “object" you c...
Work-Alike Alternative To Dynalist

Yep, just imported the entire text of Moby Dick (1.2 MB of markdown text) into an AnyType note, and barely slowed it down at all. The search function is also able to spot all 85 instances of “Mo...

I still have to run the “Jesse” test and see how much data any single note/outline can manage... will Moby Dick remain fast and responsive in a single note? I’ll let you know!
