Scrivener 3 is on the way…
10/4/2017
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.
Cheers,

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...
A (very) interesting new browser

Having recommended Cliqz on Mac260.com, I was advised by another reader to take a look at the traffic from/to Cliqz using "Little Snitch", a brilliant utility that tracks all network activity into/out...
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...
Any Windows users here ?

Again, I'm not sure I agree: IBM has over 50,000 users on Macs, which doesn't really qualify as "marginal".
Any Windows users here ?

Yes, Alexander's right - if you want to get to the really USEFUL settings, you have to dig your way down to an archaic set of control panels that appear to have frozen at Windows XP.
Don't get me wro...

9/8/2017
Ha, I didn't spot that!
Well, perhaps they've embarked down the Virtuous Apple path, i.e. User Privacy Is Us, kind of thing.
No doubt we'll see how they monetise it (or not) - in the meantime, I'm...
A (very) interesting new browser
9/8/2017
Now, returning from the vexed (but always interesting) Windows vs. Mac (vs. Others) question, I'd like to recommend a new discovery to users of ALL platforms: Cliqz, a very nice browser by a German co...
Any Windows users here ?
9/7/2017
I would gently disagree on your view of macOS as better for personal than business use, Paul, given that I run our business on Macs, but entirely agree that there are a whole bunch of niche markets th...

Thanks for the stats, Chris - sorry, I don't know why I called you "Steve" earlier, many apologies!
Very interesting cross-section of OSes here. What a lot of Linux users! I haven't played with Linux...
It's interesting to see the latest version of Curio positioning itself as a direct competitor to Tinderbox.
Mind you, even the Professional version of Curio is cheaper than Tinderbox.
On the other h...

I too would be interested in knowing how many Windows users there are in the forum. I suppose Steve might be able to tell us, if he's using Google Analytics?
Yes.
Lots.
How many would you like me to list?
;-)
My current regulars:
- Apple Notes
- Notebooks (by Alfons Schmid)
- Bear (Writer)
- Outlinely
- Ulysses (has now replaced DayOne)
Cheers!
