Card-based productivity software
2/2/2016
Thanks, Steve. It's the one thing that's driven me away from some really excellent task managers, from OmniFocus (which does at least support rich-text notes, but has such a clunky structure in iOS!) ...
Card-based productivity software
2/2/2016
Just to add my two'a'porth. Yes, I love kanban managers, and use Trello extensively with my team. As others here have said, Trello's major weakness is its lack of an overview function (covering all bo...
Yet another Markdown editor...
1/31/2016
All this talk of LightPaper has reignited my interest - I confess I've been using Ulysses and LetterSpace (much) more frequently in the recent past.
Well! Imagine my surprise, upon visiting the webs...
Curious Evernote testing qualifier
1/28/2016
I love your point about excluding 35-year-olds, though.
But I suppose they would argue that after your 35th birthday, you're technically over 35 (i.e. in your 36th year).
An amusing thought, neverth...
Yet another Markdown editor...
1/27/2016
Indeed. And some unexpected news about OmniOutliner, which is about to become a "new" Markdown editor. From DaringFireball.net:
> Up next, some cool news for OmniOutliner:

MindNode as outliner
1/26/2016
Hm, well, reinforcing somebody else's (sorry, can't remember whose, off hand) point about using mindmappers as outliners, the developers of MindNode have just released updated MacOS and iOS versions t...
Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X
1/22/2016
Your mentions of mind-mapping apps have reminded me of an app that is iOS/Mac-compatible, and used to be a really good halfway house between mindmapping and outlining: MagicalPad
Alas, in the jump to...
Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X
1/20/2016
I agree about open file formats - very much, in fact.
But not so sure about "complicated". I don't need complicated, but I do look for a few things:
- modest rich text support (bold, italics, ideally...
Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X
1/19/2016
There's still a dearth of really good outliners for MacOS and iOS. There are excellent outliners for one or the other, but very few for both. Cloud Outliner 2 is okay, but clearly giving some people p...
Year end Outliner/PIM review/roll call
1/10/2016
Yo Paul - you'll find it in the Mac App Store. Actually, more recently, I've started using App for Trello. It's simply an encapsulated Safari/Webkit page holder, but it lurks in the menu bar and gives...
There is something very beguiling about Trello. I've just discovered a rather neat Mac OS X app that makes it even more beguiling: Lists.
It's not perfect, but it's a very pleasant, lightweight compl...
Vivaldi web browser
1/9/2016
I tell yer wot, Vivaldi running on a Mac is remarkably resource-efficient.
It even runs Chrome offline apps, although it is prone to crash, and doesn't run them "properly" (i.e. in their own headless...
Vivaldi web browser
1/8/2016
Oh, I tell a lie. Yes, Vivaldi can run Chrome extensions (it's based on Webkit, but then so is Safari, and as far as I know the latter really can't run Chrome extensions!).
Vivaldi web browser
1/8/2016
Vivaldi is nice, I will admit. But I've really taken to Opera's new ability to run Chrome plug-ins/extensions (without being Chrome, which I've banned from all my machines). I'm not sure Vivaldi can d...

Let's not forget: Scrivener and Ulysses for iPad and iPhone in 2016 (Keith's already published photos of Scrivener running...
Wow, that is so hard-core minimalist. The total opposite of CRIMPing. I'm seriously impressed!
SmartDown
1/8/2016
He's a very nice bloke and responds very readily to queries, suggestions etc. I've got both versions of SmartDown, and I think it's very promising.
As for the two companies thing (Aflava, Neomobili),...
My interest in Chromebooks has been revived by the astonishingly good Toshiba (with HD screen), which I spent about half an hour playing with in John Lewis and very nearly bought. However, I'm very mu...
Ulysses progress
1/4/2016
There are just two more things that would, IMHO, render Ulysses the total, ultimate, Markdown editor:
- the addition of support for the GitHub task format, ideally done as elegantly as in LetterSpace ...
Memonic - an Evernote Replacement?
1/2/2016
Alas, dead as a doornail. Quite promising when it first appeared - I had quite a lot of data stored in Memonic. But they gave up in, yes, 2013.
ConnectedText for Mac, Windows and iOS?
12/30/2015
Yes, fair point, guv; I agree that it makes little sense not to automatically link subtasks, for example (although they're shown in the "Info" pane for an individual item, as are parents); treating su...
ConnectedText for Mac, Windows and iOS?
12/30/2015
Yes, in basic terms they're both very similar (especially Outwiker), but Sorting Thoughts goes further in its support of cross-linking (and tracing of links), and also its remarkably powerful project ...
ConnectedText for Mac, Windows and iOS?
12/29/2015
Well, okay, maybe not quite, but Sorting Thoughts (sortingthoughts.de) is a very intriguing app with desktop versions for MacOS and Windows, and a nice, simple iOS version. It thrives on relationships...
Thanks, Jaslar. Although I must say, there are a few odd entries and exclusions there (e.g. EgretList, taken over by Evernote in 2010 and more or less discontinued, I believe).
Actually, it's pretty cool. It's mainly standard Markdown, but does have three different "modes". Each page you create (it's not immediately obvious that it maintains its own library of "pages", which...
