Scrivener 3 is on the way… 11/30/2017

Good grief, Scrivener goes WAY beyond just being a writing tool - it's a complete knowledge management system. What with the extensive possibilities for modifying labels, keywords, status etc. of ever...

So, is ConnectedText really dead now? 11/29/2017

Hm, well, while it looks good, it suffers from the total lack of a search function... if you want simple but highly functional, I'd go with TiddlyWiki, myself. But much will depend on the quantities o...

Tell us about your book 11/29/2017

Damn, I'm so impressed by all these unexpected authors. Bravo, everybody!

Scrivener 3 is on the way… 11/29/2017

Cool! I hadn't noticed that, either, but now you've pointed it out, I'm even more impressed!

Scrivener 3 is on the way… 11/28/2017

I'm truly impressed by version 3.0. It's a lovely, subtle but comprehensive rework of an already very powerful app. I've been playing with the trial version, having barely used the earlier Scrivener ...

Apple Wiki 11/7/2017

Ah, well, I have to confess that it never really took off to the extent I hoped it would. Colleagues continue to prefer our (now very outdated) Kerio Workspace setup, based on the excellent original...

Current state of iOS/macOS outliners 11/7/2017

Thanks for the reminder about iThoughts, Paul - yes, it is quite impressive, and remarkably flexible, too. I've been playing (again), and although I prefer Outlinely for sheer speed and convenience (i...

Current state of iOS/macOS outliners 11/6/2017

Yes, I love TrunkNotes, and remain baffled as to why there isn't a desktop version. But it's a wonderful iOS app. If I spent all day working on an iPad, I'd use it much more than I do. Having said th...

Current state of iOS/macOS outliners 11/5/2017

Yes, I think the true value of outliners only really becomes apparent when you can use them across multiple platforms. Actually, having just run another experiment with OmniOutliner, I have to say it...

Current state of iOS/macOS outliners 11/5/2017

I'm fond of Outlinely, and use it a lot, but I've sent them a list of things that really do need to be improved. Glam Development have a history of going very quiet for months at a time. It's very ir...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/29/2017

Sorry, Hugh - yes, quite right, notion.so And you might want to take a quick look at www.nuclino.com, which is similar, but possibly even simpler in concept. I rather like it! @Dr Andus The transfe...

Process Documentation? 10/26/2017

Hi Garland, I've just found another piece of software that might suit your circumstances. It's a rather neat wiki concept called Nuclino (www.nuclino.com); the basic version doesn't cost anything, a...

Interestingly, Ulysses also produces separate files which are included in Spotlight searches.

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,...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/19/2017

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...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/19/2017

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 ...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/18/2017

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)

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/18/2017

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? ...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/17/2017

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? 10/13/2017

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...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/13/2017

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...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/13/2017

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? 10/13/2017

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… 10/6/2017

@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...
