TiddlyWiki resurgent
10/23/2017
Hm, I fear a system-wide search wouldn't be helpful with TiddlyWiki, because despite the fact that each tiddler *appears* to be a separate note, they're actually all written into the single (enormous,...

Sorry, Prion, I realise I mixed up this thread with the process management thread! I do apologise.
Quiver as alternative to wiki - maybe, but it's very much not there yet; not until it's got a proper...

Well, that's the point - I absolutely agree with you about Quiver, it's one of my favourites, if the iOS app was as good as the desktop one, it'd be my go-to info management app.
But that's not what ...

Na, Quiver isn't an online solution, although it's a great macOS app. Quip is very much an online solution, but with desktop/mobile apps as well (quip.com)

I've not had the updated title issue - whenever I change a tiddler's name, my version of TW5 asks me if I wish to update all crosslinks across the wiki, and then does so. Maybe it's a version thing?

Hm, odd about your Quine issues: I've happily swapped between Dropbox and iCloud without any problems.
But it's still an early version!
Process Documentation?

I like the look of Cacoo, I must say. From the original description of the need, I felt that text descriptions played a fairly important part in what Garland is trying to achieve, and Cacoo appears to...

Ah, before appreciating the amazing Quine, you've got to appreciate TiddlyWiki.
TiddlyWiki is just a single HTML file. As you save "tiddlers" (notes), they are saved directly into the HTML file itsel...

I've just installed TiddlyWiki 5 and I'm loving it! I was looking for something to take down lots of fragments of thoughts, ideas, drafts etc. for a book I'm thinking of writing, and had been experime...
Process Documentation?

Personally, I'd be strongly in favour of a wiki, but much depends on how you work.
I can recommend Dokuwiki, which is relatively easy to set up, has a powerful search engine, and if you don't want to...
Scrivener 3 is on the way…

@bob
It's a good question. The answer is that with Windows 8, Microsoft really did seem to have lost the plot. They appeared to me, an inveterate ICT industry watcher, to have panicked and put all th...

Windows 10 is okay. Windows 8 was unacceptable, and was the single most significant reason for our decision to transition our entire business to Mac (apart from a couple of servers, that is). But Wind...
Ah, if moo.do supported all my other mail accounts (iCloud, IMAP, Outlook.com...), I'd move over to it like a shot.
But I don't use GoogleMail, and I suspect there are plenty of other users out there...

Very cool! I'm impressed by the technical workflow! and the blog, as it happens, being a major reader of fantasy/sci-fi myself (not yet an author, but maybe one day...)
Well, you don't have to get a subscription - the free Trello service is already quite powerful. The desktop app works with it, too.
I like SnippetsLab, but it's only for macOS - not even an iOS version.
I wish the brilliant Quiver was also available on iOS (as a fully functional app, I mean, rather than the viewer sans search it ...
I have to say, Steve Harris has been very responsive to error reports. He's suggested that for very large imports, I simply de-activate the iCloud sync (easily done via Preferences), then do the impor...

Such a good app - totally recommend. I've been using it for years.

Ah well, some disappointment there: just deleted my entire Keep It library after repeated crashing. Reason: I imported ca. 4,500 files from my Curiota store. Okay, a bit brutal, but resulted in two ma...
Hm, yes, I see your point, Dellu, but I think Keep It is a substantial improvement over Together (which I like). I've made the upgrade (half price, because I already have Together), and I'm enjoying t...
More on Blik at https://www.burntcaramel.com/blik/
It's not totally unlike a rather nice app for macOS called Blik, which allows you to collect together folders and files from anywhere in "projects". Each project (including "collections" of files and ...
CRIMPing in the future.

I'd have to agree with Dellu about very large quantities of data (that's why we use AutoTask, which has a very efficient Cloud repository); I too have been toying with the idea of iOS-optimised USB st...

CRIMPing in the future.
9/10/2017
I agree with jaslar and Paul on this - CRIMPing is a state of mind, and the outward structures or interfaces don't actually change that state of mind; bring it on Minority Report, I say.
I'm sorry De...
