Thanks for the tip about The Hit List, Steve. I've been playing with it, and although it's not the most beautiful of the task management apps, it's impressively practical.
And the keyboard shortcuts ...
Web-Based Mail Client Options
3/5/2015
Mind you, 1&1 also offer an ultra-cheap 'Instant Mail' service using what appears to be their OpenXchange client. The relevant European info is at:

Yes, you're probably right – it may well be RoundCube. The OpenXchange client is much nicer, but does cost more.
Of course there are some rather attractive free online webmail services (such as...
A very interesting response from Marbux, I must say. I've always been impressed by Notecase Pro, and can see the attraction for a developer, too. But again, it's trailing a little in terms of UX. Havi...
Ah, I have some cunning ideas for how this could become a tool, but it's a huge undertaking. The whole UX has been revolutionised by iOS in particular, which is how I think one could create such an ap...
The other area that desperately needs more inventive/imaginative solutions is comparative document work. Gingko is one of the most impressive concepts I've yet seen in this respect, but it's time for ...
Web-Based Mail Client Options

1&1 also do a perfectly acceptable web mail client as part of their (very cheap) website deals. There's a more sophisticated Open Xchange-based version, but that costs extra. The basic webmail client ...
Hagoromo!

Just wondering if anybody on (or lurking in the environs of) this forum has encountered/played with/uses Hagoromo, a very powerful-looking Japanese-oriented word processor and outliner for Mac?
Seems...
Synology DSM 5.1 Note Station
2/25/2015
I just wondered if anybody on the forum has any experience of Synology's new Note Station app, available with the latest version of their NAS operating system?
It looks really interesting, but the on...
Self introduction and Quiver promo codes
2/24/2015
Great to have you onboard, Yaogang; I'm sure other Mac users will be taking a good look at Quiver in anticipation of the iOS version, too!
I'm a happy Quiver user on MacOS, but I might try and persua...
Spoken like a true CRIMPer, Hugh!

Yes, your list is interesting precisely because it's aesthetically varied – some of those apps are less than attractive, but they're all pretty good at what they do.
A good combination of strea...
Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update
2/19/2015
Another feature of Quiver I like very much is that with a bit of modest tinkering in the CSS style sheets (available through preferences), you can actually make some fairly significant changes to the ...
You're right.
On the other hand, the prospect of a 12" MacBook later this year - or possibly even an iPad Pro - is enough to stop those CRIMPing fingers from twitching...
One positive thing you can ...
It's also worth mentioning that it's running the full 64-bit version of Windows, not the cut-down 32-bit version that's common on low-powered machines.
Reviews have been very favourable. In fact, if ...
UK buyers will probably want to get the HP Stream stocked by PC World, which has 64GB of SSD storage (although enthusiastic users of the Asus T100 Transformer Book insist that 32GB is more than enough...
Ulysses for iPad shaping up nicely...
2/12/2015
I'd also agree with Steve, incidentally, about the value of a total editing environment of the kind provided by Scrivener and Ulysses, and also Quiver. The ability to collect bits and pieces from vari...

Hm. I think there are a number of desirable features in the perfect Markdown editor. Nothing has yet combined all of them.
But first, Letterspace: the "different" thing about Letterspace is the combi...

2/12/2015
Hm, love your workaround – I hadn't realised there was a separate Markdown view in code cells, or that it folded!
I shall certainly suggest the multi-note selection feature to Yaogang (also off...

I dunno – as you say, there something very inviting about Quiver. Having committed myself heart and soul to Keep Everything for task management, I now find myself using Quiver more and more beca...

2/12/2015
A bit of sniffing about and some correspondence with Soulmen has revealed that yes, they are producing an iPhone app (eventually).
Making Ulysses for iOS an even more tempting prospect. It's already ...
Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update
2/11/2015
Yup, this really is a very impressive upgrade. If you own a Mac, and you don't already have it, you owe it to yourself (and your Mac) to get Quiver!
I've just generated a rather nice little website f...
Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update
2/11/2015
And I've just heard, in a sneak peek newsflash from the developer, that he **is** in fact working on a fully functional, all-singing/dancing version of Quiver for iOS (for iPhone **and** iPad). Wow, I...
Writng-Keeping versions straight

Sorry, that was in response to your point about Draft Control, incidentally!
Your idea is a good one, especially on the Mac. I've just discovered the latter's ability to drag and drop text fragments ...

Another good one on the Mac is DeltaWalker. In fact, I think they may have a PC version, too...
Oh, and yes, they do. Check it out at http://www.deltawalker.com/
They often have deals on BitsDuJour
