Quiver for Mac gets a hefty update
2/11/2015
And in fact a new feature, copy link to note, does indeed turn it into the equivalent of a wiki.

Thanks, Paul. This is one of my top faves, and the developer has always been very helpful and responsive.
Cheers,

I confess I quite like Yosemite. Some of the decisions are baffling (like the change of the 'green button' function), but it's a pleasant environment. Although the convergence with the super-simple lo...
Interestingly, I've only been able to find four Markdown/rich-text outliners that also support tags and are cross-platform (MacOS and iOS), and none of them are outliners in the fullest sense of the t...
Ah, my fears have been assuaged. Ulysses for iPad will indeed preserve the one/two/three-pane support it has as a desktop app. Excellent!

Hey, good news, Robin - looking forward to trying it out!
Cheers,

It's a nice piece of software. The one weakness I can descry lies in the mixing of tags.
Although you've got two different types of tag (# and @), you don't appear to be able to use them to apply do...
Sorry Paul, sorry! But I've just found Letterspace, a rather nice outliner that uses two different forms of tagging (hashtags and @) AND syncs across Mac and iOS. Very pleasant to use, and even better...
SmartDown for Mac

Yo, CRIMP on, dude!

Mac users might like to check out Outlinely in this respect.
Outlinely is a very straightforward outliner, with Workflowy-like support for rich text, the ability to add notes to outline items, and a ...
Looks very interesting, I must say. Ta!
SmartDown for Mac

The beta version of SmartDown for Mac is now available:

It's a very nice piece of work already, according to my (brief but intense) testing. Very simple ...
Acta and Opal
1/28/2015
The last time anybody mentioned Opal, the reincarnation of Acta, was back in 2006 (I think).
Is anybody using this rather exotic but thoroughly traditional Mac outliner?

I'm not a fan of 22111's acerbic/super-critical writing style. But in this case, to be absolutely fair, I do think s/he was trying to make a joke.
It's not a very good one, unfortunately, but I don'...

It's interesting to read employees' views on Glasshouse, too. Many (most) of them are saying that despite the enjoyable working conditions, nice colleagues etc., leadership is poor and the focus is co...
List of outliners

I've no idea when this was compiled, but it might interest fellow CRIMPers:

The most powerful option for what you're describing is WebIdeaTree, which was written with precisely this requirement in mind.
The non-profit version is very cheap (USD 25), and there's a trial versi...

Hey, no worries! You're not working with Keep Everything every day, whereas I am!
And I now keep a fairly obsessive eye on my Dropbox folder to make sure the Keep Everything database is as streamlin...

Finally, Paul, you mention that Keep Everything stores its data in binary files. Again, not entirely true. The main library consists of binary files - but if you use Dropbox to sync with your other de...

As for the web archive conversion: in my experience, it's about as fast as converting web pages for DEVONthink Pro or EagleFiler, certainly not much slower. And it takes place in the background, too, ...
Fundamental shifts of position

Not entirely true, Paul. You can copy the plain-text Markdown code out of each article in 'Edit' mode (granted that's less convenient than a proper export option). And you don't need to copy and paste...

In retrospect, it's what I should have done. But in the meantime, I take some pleasure in streamlining the way I work as much as possible. And in fact, even a 4GB MBA is not as wimpy as I've heard peo...

Oh, and the final clincher. I've just discovered (doh!) that you can open and edit Keep Everything notes and entries in multiple windows. Perfect for transferring notes and tasks hither and yon.
Fundamental shifts of position

Absolutely. And I'd love it if some of these Markdown editors (especially Keep Everything!) included outlining features so you could move items around more conveniently (the only iOS outliner I can th...

Other apps worth mentioning, but which I eventually discarded after due consideration:
