Analog Memory Desk
3/13/2015
As an idea, that is rather stunning.
Except for the poor trees.
And how much cooler would it be if it was an LED touchscreen-topped desk a la "Quantum of Solace"...?
Just saying!
Ulysses for iPad shaping up nicely...
3/12/2015
Ah, except the grouping (or 'gluing', as Ulysses calls it) doesn't really work on iPad. If you glue multiple notes (or 'sheets', to use Ulysses-speak) together in the desktop app, you can view/scroll ...
Overcoming Overload?
3/12/2015
So it is, I'd forgotten. I remember reading that this was one of the reasons NoteCase is so fast.
Clip to OneNote gets enhancements
3/12/2015
Just noticed that this evening - HUGE improvement, especially the 'article' clipping feature.
Ulysses for iPad shaping up nicely...
3/12/2015
Yes, kind of take your point, but I rather like the essentialised minimalism, myself.
Hadn't noticed the lack of search function - but yes, now you mention it, that's a glaring omission! Especially s...
Overcoming Overload?
3/12/2015
Very sensible thoughts. Of course Notecase (being Java-based) is also available for Mac...
Ulysses for iPad shaping up nicely...
3/12/2015
Yes, it's landed. And at first prod, looks really rather good, preserving all(?) the functionality of the desktop version.
Now Ulysses (especially cross-platform - sorry, Alexander, cross-Apple) offe...
Overcoming Overload?
3/12/2015
I sympathise, I must say. As the director of an SMB who's also heavily involved in day-to-day production, I have a ridiculously full task list. And yes, I do find it helpful to run stuff in parallel. ...

Mind you, if thinking different is what brings you the wonderful new MacBook, then hey, you can think as different as you like!
Journos are already complaining about the price. To buy an equivalent W...

Sorry, Alexander, I should of course have written "Universal", which is Apple-speak for "compatible with all iOS devices but nothing else, unless the developer has wimped out and decided that other pl...

Now, all we need to compete with that for the 'CRIMPing Gem of the Year' trophy would be an iOS and/or desktop version of Gingko... ;-)
Mindscope via Reddit/r/productivity

Both sound decidedly useful – good call.
I've taken to putting my REALLY urgent tasks on it, because I can make lots of notes in the nested task page, but also link to aliases of each task from...

I've been playing with Mindscope again. I had a look at the first version and while impressed, wasn't blown away.
This time, I'm blown away! The couple of extra features (notably a much better editin...
"Hooray, hooray, it's CRIMPing time toda... on Thursday!"
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:

Web-Based Mail Client Options
3/5/2015
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
3/4/2015
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!
2/28/2015
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!
