Time to mention a to-do outliner...
3/26/2013
Getting back to the relatively humdrum topic of outliners (i.e. moving away from the more exalted realms of semiotics, knowledge management etc.), I'm delighted to report that the relatively new app S...
I've enjoyed this convo, I must say. I have Evernote on all my various machines (iPad, Android mobile, Windows laptop, Linux netbook etc. etc.), but very rarely use it (although I do back up various a...
Omea Pro FINALLY open source!!!
3/18/2013
Worrabout Feedly? Seems pretty stable/well developed to me?
Plain Text (as in .TXT) Outliner?
3/18/2013
emacs - especially in Orgmode - is perfectly ghastly, and I find it perfectly astonishing, in this day and age, that anybody could conceivably WANT to use such a thing. It's like deliberately putting ...
Plain Text (as in .TXT) Outliner?
3/18/2013
Funnily enough, I've been trawling the web looking for the Ultimate Text-based Cross-Platform Outliner. And have failed to find it, alas. Todo.txt, which is - for reasons that entirely escape me - ext...
As a fellow copywriter, I generally use TreeSheets (free), but for certain projects I also use SuperNoteCard (multi-platform, basic version free).
I've actually submitted rough drafts/layout concepts...
Zoot???

With that much e-mail, Alexander, you really ought to download and use MailStore to archive your GMail (the free 'Home' version is very powerful, and has sensational search abilities). That way, if Go...
Best of all is OpenOffice/LibreOffice Sheet (or whatever they call it nowadays), which is rich-text-friendly (in a way that Excel, for example, isn't). You get none of the unstable, unpredictable beha...
Unconventional iOS outliner

I like it, I must say. All it needs now is some cross-platform love... ;-)
New version of Curio for Mac users
3/15/2013
Looks quite nice, actually, and they've standardised on a single product at a single price.
The Mac user's alternative to OneNote, I would say.
Unconventional iOS outliner
3/14/2013
I've just updated my copy of the iOS app 'Remember' to its new incarnation, 'Thought Block'.
It's effectively a note-taking (primarily for task management purposes) app that takes a very unusual rou...

Funnily enough, I've been reaching the same conclusion re: task management. Currently, I've gone back to Carbonfin Outliner (and its web equivalent) for managing all my work - the information density ...
Readdle
3/8/2013
Nice idea, but sadly not - Docs replaces ReaddleDocs (and takes over all its settings, so it's not all bad). They're both very similar, it's just that the interface in Docs is simpler and in many ways...
Best Apps for the Nexus
3/8/2013
My only other recommendation would be NoteCase Pro, depending on whether you're a Windows user. If you are, you can get NoteCase for both platforms. It's a powerful notes manager/two-pane outliner, an...
Best Apps for the Nexus
3/8/2013
I agree with you about the screen! The Nexus is one of the nicest little tablets out there, especially for the price. Having said that, I've just had a fun time playing with some of these Windows 8 hy...

Do try SoftMaker Office on the Nexus, too - it's a great suite and boasts an impressive standard of Office compatibility. It's also available for Windows. German, I'm glad to say!
Readdle
3/8/2013
ReaddleDocs - as it used to be called - has been updated to 'Documents', which is even better than before. The look has been streamlined, which is initially slightly confusing, but the decisions all m...

Oh, and it's German, too, which - in my perhaps biased view - is a Good Thing.

Just a quick response to Mark: we've started to use the MailStore Server (www.mailstore.com) to archive (and retrieve) our e-mail, and it's absolutely brilliant: very low resource requirements, variou...
New 64-bit version of DFM2HTML
2/27/2013
Now this isn't, strictly speaking, outliner-related, but one of my super-fave pieces of web design software, DFM2HTML (website of same name) has just been updated to support 64-bit Windows, which make...

Yes, perfectly true, Copernic does create indexes (indices), unlike the two others. But I think the two others win in terms of search result presentation!
I hadn't realised Adobe Reader XI is out - ...

Wow. Well, my first investigations of PDF-Xchange Viewer's search function hasn't uncovered such a large discrepancy between search results as yours, Dr. Andus, but my sample was much smaller. My obse...

Oh wow! I blush to admit that I haven't really investigated PDF-Xchange Viewer's Search function - it never occurred to me that it would be comparable (indeed, according to your experiment, superior) ...

Hm, tricky one. Okay, but it's going to be slightly artificial, 'cos I use loads of different apps/progs depending on what I'm doing. But this is a recent "workflow" that has been something of a revel...
New Ipad, what apps to put on it?
2/19/2013
My own most recent favourite is Notato, which doesn't just include Markdown, it also includes MultiMarkdown, plus support for math with LaTex, plus support for images, plus a very nice search engine t...
