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...

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...

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...

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

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!

OutlineEdit 1.3 & 5 free licences

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

Yo, CRIMP on, dude!

Organizing lots of thought snippets

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!
