Nottingham 3

Hey, Nottingham was boring anyway... :-)
Trunk Notes supports the most stripped-down of Markdown tables - leave out the lines on each side, and you'll get a proper table. So rather than doing:
|Head...

Fascinating. Trunk Notes does actually support extended Markdown, just not the GitHub flavour. So you can, for example, create tables. It also automatically parses dashes and converts quotation marks/...

Another sad CRIMPing detail: Trunk Notes doesn't support the GitHub flavour of Markdown, so I thought there was no way of introducing checkboxes (for lists, todos etc.).
But actually you can, using a...

Yeah, dude, and to think it started with a simple discussion of [[wiki linking]] - which, by the way, Trunk Notes also supports, although it's not mentioned in the documentation.
The Trunk Notes ver...

Yes, sorry about that!
Okay, confession time:
My flurry of notes reflected a sudden CRIMPing seizure, which has ended with me reinstalling Trunk Notes on all my iOS devices, discovering that it sync...

Although if you like things like encrypted notes, embedded files (including multimedia files), custom CSS (including custom CSS that responds to specific tags and reformats pages accordingly!), then T...

Ah, and actually, I had forgotten, but Trunk Notes supports Markdown as well. Hm. Actually, it's pretty damn powerful. But doesn't look as nice as Kiwi!

Plus Trunk Notes supports tags, snippets and various other rather elegant things like functions and custom headers/footers.
I've never really got on with Trunk Notes, for some reason, although I've t...

Trunk Notes, another popular iOS personal wiki manager, uses WikiWord linking syntax. The advantage of Kiwi is that it supports double-bracket links and uses Markdown for editing.
But... no search fu...

Sorry, I should have explicitly stated that yes, Kiwi also supports this [[wiki linking]] syntax.

Worth noting that Bear also supports this wiki linking syntax, in addition to its own internal linking system (each note has its own inbuilt ID).
I've also just discovered quite a nice little persona...
Bear review

Oh dear, how embarrassing: I said Bear doesn't copy the source URL when you copy and paste a web page or part of a web page into a note by pressing the button (installed as a Safari or Chrome extensio...
Bear review
11/7/2016
Well, I'm currently using Bear on all my iOS devices and my Mac, and it's rapidly becoming my go-to notetaker. That's because it does indeed have a sharing extension, plus a very good web page import ...
Bear review

I've just written to Federico mentioning a couple of things he left out of his review:
- web page import (definitely an impressive feature) and
- the search function (highlighting, constrained by tag...
Bear review

I have it installed on everything in sight, and it's a very nice version 1.0; the last-minute nested tags feature is especially cool (although the concept is slightly flawed; I can't see an obvious so...
Outlinely for iOS

I think you're right, Paul. I'm looking forward to Ulysses having some competition in this space!
Bear Writer is looking very promising, too. The fourth beta is nice and powerful, with an excellent s...

I am also very intrigued by their mention of an "interactive sparse tree". Anybody know what they're talking about?
Ah, okay, good old Org-mode explains: http://orgmode.org/manual/Sparse-trees.html
Outlinely for iOS

Wow, finally. The developer is decidedly unresponsive to e-mails (which makes me smile when I see the exhortation, in the screenshot, to send them e-mails with feedback), but Outlinely is definitely o...
iThoughts version 4.0
10/26/2016
New version of iThoughts launched today (more at http://toketaware.com/blog/2016/10/10/v4-released). Now includes Markdown, which is cool. In fact, although the Mac version is quite pricy, I'm tempted...

Yo, Alex, my man! So when's CintaNotes coming to MacOS? I used it all the time on Windows, but left when Win8 horrified the world. I'm now a very happy Mac user (along with an increasing number of oth...
Bear 3 Beta for Mac with Safari Clipper
10/20/2016
Bear Writer Beta 4 is out, and has added a very nice "related tags" feature. Tags appear in a tree down the left-hand side; where notes have multiple tags, they are used to create branches; all the ta...

Congrats, Eduard; NotePlan has just appeared on the Mac App Store.

Maturing nicely ;-)
Elephant Notetaker new updates
10/15/2016
It looks great - but it's a Java app. I don't do those any more, alas. I'm steadily honing down the apps on my systems to exclude Java, Flash and Google platforms that could be used as vectors.
Not s...

Yeah! Folding is good!
Making NotePlan capable of folding headers would be dang cool, too!
Keep up the good work!

Any good Scrivener books out there?
10/12/2016
I would second that. The tutorial is friendly, you can scribble in it/modify it if you want to, but it's easy to restore if you find you've mangled it! And there's nothing like doing something hands-o...
