Another one that looks rather good - and has had some very good reviews - is Multi Edit Contact Manager. But I can't say I have personal experience. I'm tempted, though, 'cos my contacts are in much t...
Knowsy Notes

That looks pretty cool, actually. I've just discovered something very similar on iOS, called Nota Plex. It also supports various kinds of notes, plus simple (or even quite complex) spreadsheets, but a...
Outliner/PIM roll call: Fall 2012
9/16/2012
You can do a bit better than that, in fact, by using OneNote, which has a pretty good client for the iPad (in fact it's got two: Microsoft's own, which is useful for e.g. checklists, and a much more a...
Check this out, iPad users!

By the way, the nice developers of BusyMe did reply, and my CRIMPer's soul has been lifted by the news that they're just about to introduce synching to the app (in fact the latest version should be ou...
Do try Podio, too, for collaborative purposes. It's got a vast range of free apps available, and you can even create your own. It's one of the more impressive online collaborative efforts I've discove...

Yeah, you'd think after 30-odd years of CRIMPing I wouldn't fall for those long-limbed folds, those heavy-lidded hoists... but I did, and hey, inevitably it all looks a bit stale when you wake up in t...

I see in principle that edits online should be carried back into the app! Impressive - if it worked. But it doesn't (yet). In fact, I've had one crash where the note that I'd just uploaded to the web ...

Blimey! Cotton also allows you to collaborate on your notes through a web page, although it doesn't appear to sync back with the app (probably just as well!). Here's a note I posted (the content is to...

Actually, my CRIMPness has been further enhanced by the recent discovery of another little app - this time a dedicated task/calendar manager that also happens to be an outliner (with folding and hoist...

Whoa, dudes! My evening is complete! I am in CRIMP heaven! I've just discovered the most gorgeous little outliner for iPads (and iPhones, in fact). It's so professional it's ridiculous. And it's on sp...
Actually, I've just heard back from the (very amiable) developer. It's not really been released yet. He's going to sort out the search anomalies, and pointed out that scratchpad mode does work (i.e. y...
Hm - well spotted. I've just had a quick play. It's actually quite a nice little app, albeit with some flaws (search mode is inconsistent across text boxes, "scratchpads" aren't actually scratchpads a...
Cataloguing the Different Ways the Mind Associates Itself with the Outliner Presented Screen

Sorry, Foolness, I stopped reading after the third paragraph. But you hadn't even got started...
Cataloguing the Different Ways the Mind Associates Itself with the Outliner Presented Screen
9/12/2012
Okay. I for one have had enough. Foolness, you have a style that is consistently aggressive and confrontational. You immediately leap to hugely defensive positions using unacceptable language as soon ...

Darlings, let's not, after all, forget that all of us who post on these forums do so because we want to. The motivation for our little moments of self-publicity is correspondingly varied...

With respect to some of the recent posts

I love the post-deconstructionist irony of your remark! Especially the deliberate mistake ("losing the time" instead of "losing the ability"). Brilliant!
In short, you may be right.
ProjectForum price drop!

I feel entirely justified in including a reference to a wiki in this forum in view of the widely trumpeted popularity of ConnectedText! Those interested in internal collaboration may like to know that...
Taxonomy for outliners...
8/9/2012
While I accept your point, Steve, I also think there's a danger of confusing actual function with "mere" semantics (but I'm a linguist, so yes, I'm well aware of the magnificent scope for confusion of...
That's impressively fierce, Fredy, but I agree with your views, especially about TreeNotes and ActionOutline. And about askSam, too. Reminds me of that most majestic full-text DBMS, Idealist, now long...
Have to say, after a couple of years of exchanging notes/data between my Android mobile, iPad and Windows 7 desktop PC using that simplest of expedients, the text editor, I find myself increasingly us...
Although it's worth mentioning that EMA Personal Wiki actually uses Dropbox to synchronise (but it's scarcely noticeable)!
Actually, I've forgotten one really nice option for Windows-Android synchronisation: EMA Personal Wiki, available on both platforms. It's very easy to use and syncs very efficiently. I thoroughly reco...
Erm, you sound very slightly confused, if I may say so. On the one hand you seem quite happy to use Evernote as a synchronisation service (through Evernote's servers), on the other hand you don't want...
Reviews of OneNote vs. other outliners
7/25/2012
Yes, like Alexander I felt there was perhaps a mild misunderstanding or misapprehension of XML in Steve's otherwise excellent review of Bonsai. XML is a great intermediary, but does nothing at all wit...
EssentialPIM on BitsduJour
7/25/2012
"Hey, Sully - you know I said I would kill you last?" - "Yeah, Matrix, yeah, you did..." - "I lied."
And I lied, too - actually, EssentialPIM imported all my contacts flawlessly at breakneck speed - ...
