CRIMPers = prospective time multipliers?
7/12/2017
Hi Alexander! Nice to "see" you again!
Wow, yes, kantree is lovely - I have great respect for kanban-style approaches, but haven't found any multi-platform variant that really works well (i.e. offers...

Ah, that's very much the Honest CRIMPer, Steve!
Let's face it, if we were all Very Disciplined, we would all have found one system and be sticking with it.
But I like to think our visionary/ideali...
I like DynaList, I must say. If I didn't already subscribe to Outlinely, I'd probably be interested in a subscription. But the free version is well worth using as it is.

Interestingly, my wife, who was a senior (enterprise) manager for many years, uses a paper-based time management system by preference (the bullet-point system mentioned elsewhere in this forum), preci...
CRIMPers = prospective time multipliers?

Interesting points. A corollary would be the built-in inflexibility (despite developers' best efforts) of most task management software. I've been using Things 3 for a while, which is a lovely piece o...
Day One gives itself a "Premium" service
7/10/2017
The storing of docs in their original format thing mentioned by Paul earlier is a very good point. Interestingly, a lot of top Mac information managers do exactly that (EagleFiler, Together, DEVONthin...

I think that's what's baffled me most about the DayOne change - it's so unclear! I mean, WTF?
NVIVO vs Devonthink
7/7/2017
I respect DEVONthink, and use it to hold my reference databases, but the real attraction is the powerful search function, complete with hit highlighting and buttons for jumping from hit to hit. I don'...
Yes, it's a cogent reminder of just how important it is to handle any kind of systemic change with grace, diplomacy and extreme sensitivity to your users' anxieties. DayOne has not, alas, delivered a ...
I'm afraid I concluded I'd have to abandon DayOne a little while ago. It's always been a nice app, but recent updates have started to show signs of featuritis and the sync problem I mentioned earlier ...
I've been disappointed by DayOne's synching behaviour recently (I cannot bring my iOS and Mac versions into 100% congruency), so have taken to writing my journal entries in Outlinely. But I hadn't con...
Mindscope 1.5 is now available
6/20/2017
Oh wow, that's BRILLIANT news - this was an inspired app; I recently (sadly) deleted it because I thought it was dead. Excellent!
Yes, I used it for a while, but became a little discouraged by the lack of development. But I recently received an e-mail saying that development is ongoing; the developers are also considering the po...
Not totally outliner-focused, but nifty
6/12/2017
I agree on the encryption issue - I haven't switched encryption on, yet, although I've noted that CloudMounter apparently allows you to apply encryption selectively, e.g. to single folders. But I have...
Ha! Sometime I'll tell you all about MountainDuck! Having said which, I've still got it on my system just in case an update sorts out the various issues (ranging through to extreme system instability)...
Absolutely! The more inventiveness in the information management segment, the better. But I was slightly amused by his lengthy and somewhat earnest disquisition on the nature of information managers; ...
Okay, so I've just discovered a very nice macOS app called CloudMounter. Actually, I'd discovered it before, but bought directly from the developer it's rather expensive. BUT... there's an app store v...
iOS 11 -- a CRIMP is coming on
6/7/2017
I kind of see your point - Contacts could do with a "date modified" field; Calendar is a little clunky, and Reminders is not very good at all.
But they all sync very, very fast, and work perfectly we...
iOS 11 -- a CRIMP is coming on
6/6/2017
... and poor old Readdle. However, the latter's CEO did say that he hoped Apple was developing something like Files and cross-app drag and drop, because he thought they would be better as system-level...
iOS 11 -- a CRIMP is coming on
6/6/2017
Deffo! As you say, the new iOS is a huge step towards making iPads true laptop/notebook equivalents; Files is particularly exciting.
And yes, I'm glad I didn't invest in a reMarkable - the new 10.5 i...
Gingko Desktop - beta testers wanted
6/5/2017
I dunno; while I think $90 is a bit steep, I'd be prepared to pay pretty good money for a desktop version of Gingko that had the full range of functions of the online version. It's one of the most bri...
Well, I've downloaded and installed Moo.do on my MacBook Pro, and it's brilliant. The whole concept and ease of use: brilliant. I especially LOVE the drag and drop thing, in particular the extraordina...
Excellent news on integration!
That's in Safari (latest version) in compose mode.
It's a bit tragic this nice piece of work doesn't integrate with anything except Google. Are you planning additional integrations, e.g. IMAP? Apple Mail/Reminders/Calendar?
