Actually, he appears to have sold them to somebody else. WriteRoom is still available (currently for free!), and PlainText was relaunched but then hastily withdrawn again following the discovery of a ...
Happy New Year fellow CRIMPers!
1/6/2014
May I join in wishing everybody a wonderfully positive 2014!
As far as crimping goes, I find that I've recoiled into fairly conservative mode (for the time being). Currently, my main apps are:
- Wund...
You might want to take a look at the Asus Transformer Book T100, a 10" tablet with keyboard combo which is available at astonishingly low prices in the US and UK. It's been reviewed very favourably, a...
Meta trends - what have we learned?
12/30/2013
Great discussion! But I think we're overlooking - or perhaps misidentifying - a trend I've just mentioned in the iA Writer thread. Touch apps are not always dumbed-down. Sometimes they've found simple...
The cautionary tale of iA Writer Pro
12/30/2013
While I agree with the dumbed-down argument (as a user of apps on Windows, iOS and Android, I've experimented with a broad range of less-than-optimal apps), I think it's easy to confuse this with anot...
OneNote lovers on MacOS
12/21/2013
I don't entirely agree with you Stephen: certainly Outline for the Mac is not as powerful as OneNote, but it's still a very powerful application, with a number of interesting features. There's the mul...
Workflowy: Your Brain on One Page
12/19/2013
Thanks for that - yes, I do use Workflowy occasionally, not least because it's got a good client on iOS.
But I turn more and more often to my favourite cross-platform apps: OneNote, Notebooks and Si...
OneNote lovers on MacOS

... also, you've got to love any software that has a category called "RECENTS" on its navigation bar. Sounds like the meerkat stars of all those comparethemarket.com ads...
OneNote lovers on MacOS
12/19/2013
Those clever folks at outline.ws have just launched their fully enabled OneNote editor for Mac (Outline for Mac), which looks really rather good: http://outline.ws/mac
If the quality of their iOS off...
New Win8 Outliner
12/5/2013
Lucas has highlighted a significant point. Until I played with Windows 8.1, I hadn't realised what a truly schizophrenic operating system Win8 is. The desktop is like a completely different environmen...
Surfulater PrevGen on bits, again
12/2/2013
Strictly speaking, 22111 is correct: "foris" is the Latin dative plural of "forum". However, Franz is also correct, in that it's not used in English (only, alas, in Latin - and how many people read La...
Mohio - mindmap your Evernote
11/30/2013
Oh dear. I'm almost embarrassed to say this, but I'm pretty much... CRIMPed out... How come? Well, I've just been playing with Windows 8.1.
Let me explain: I run Windows 7 on my main machine (and am...
Perhaps you should take a look at OneNote, too?
As a translator and terminologist myself, I increasingly use OneNote to manage text. Not just because OneNote has a reasonably powerful (albeit fairly ...
File Search
11/22/2013
Interesting - from Midlinesoft, who used to produce a nice little search prog not dissimilar to File Locator (MultiFind). This looks like a simple-to-use prog with a couple of nice features (notably a...

Rather attractive. On the other hand, you can do all these things using OneNote, and even share your OneNote notebooks (either directly or over the web)...
But it's good to see interesting new approa...
Pimlical

It's also worth mentioning that EssentialPIM has a fairly competent server version for sharing stuff, based on open-source database Firebird. It takes a little time to work out how to use it, but it s...
Has anyone gotten into the new Wunderlist?
11/13/2013
I like the ideas behind Wunderlist, and I love company's website and general enthusiasm. But there are shortcomings - I regularly go back to Wunderlist (because it's so totally cross-platform), then f...
I'd agree with Alexander. Bittorrent Sync is brilliant, and increasingly multiplatform - well worth investigating. Other options include Soonr.com (for business interactions - a kind of heavily encryp...
Managing Sharing of a Knowledge Database
11/4/2013
Correct - they disappointed many Kerio Workspace beta testers (myself included) by suddenly announcing SamePage while at the same time withdrawing the Workspace product. They did explain the strategy ...
Managing Sharing of a Knowledge Database
11/4/2013
A very simple and pleasant solution is samepage.io, which offers a 10GB extranet for unlimited users for free. It's a great place to store documents, but also for collaboration. It's based on the (ala...
article - simplenote alternatives
10/29/2013
My favorite note-taking solution used to be AsNoted, which works as a Chrome extension that talks to Dropbox. This means you can sync with the iOS version of the app. Unfortunately I've run into certa...
graphical scenario outliner
10/26/2013
Wow, ThinkComposer looks very interesting. I haven't come across that before. I shall be taking a closer look!
graphical scenario outliner
10/25/2013
Absolutely - and of course you're right; earlier versions of Numbers only exported CSV. But now it's proper Excel. That's quite a desirable feature, I must say.
FileMaker has always impressed me with...
graphical scenario outliner
10/25/2013
Yup, that seems to work. A genuine Excel spreadsheet! It's even made an effort to format it so it looks like the Numbers original (not entirely successful, but they're two very different programs). I'...

10/25/2013
Hi Franz,
Well, there appears to be in the latest version - it offers you four different options: Numbers, PDF, Excel and CSV, so I'm assuming there's a difference between Excel and CSV. I confess I ...
