Diagram software with notes attached to each space? 12/19/2021

Outliner for granular writing? 4/5/2020

Thanks for all the feedback. I realized that as long as you put blank space between paragraphs and after headings, you can use Roam Research or Dynalist and simply format it all in vim with a single c...

Outliner for granular writing? 4/3/2020

Hi friends, I'm doing some long form writing again and I find myself looking for a very specific kind of capability. Wondering if anyone had any suggestions: I'm looking to write very structured cont...

2019 reflection question 1/3/2020

To follow up - I've also basically stopped perusing this site since I was no longer looking for new software. And to be honest, I'm happier for it. Looking back, while CRIMPing was definitely fun ...

2019 reflection question 1/3/2020

My business blew up (in a good way) and my first child was born - I realized I had no time to mess around crimping. What did I do? I went all in on a single platform for myself and my team. In this ...

Dynalist goes awry? 11/10/2019

Not sure I saw this mentioned anywhere in this topic, but one of the main reasons I'm considering a major switch to Notion is that it allows for real time collaboration. Out of all the tools I'm aware...

New Apps of Interest 7/21/2019

Click up is probably the best in its class right now. It's really phenomenal (esp v2.0). I'm pretty set on my personal workflow being handled via a simple calendar and text documents (à la org-...

Multiple machines, multiple OSs, narrowing apps? 7/2/2019

Hey Dr. Andus, I've been in a similar situation. I've narrowed it down to Standard Notes (pro) and Joplin. Both are open source and awesome in their own ways. Standard Notes Advantages: - Best Sec...

are we the addicts of the productivity porn? 4/10/2019

I've definitely struggled with this. But now I look at it more as a hobby, and as such, order it as a hobby. The trick is to have bigger goals and make sure you are pursuing them first and foremost. T...

Dynalist MindMap View 4/3/2019

Gah, waste of development. I wish they implemented the popular "flat list" software suggestion on their development trello instead of doing this. The flat search list would allow them to be one of the...

Flat-file outliner (no db, no cloud) that support markdown and file attachment 11/23/2018

Org mode just works with plain text files and easily exports chunks of the outline to markdown (and it's native format is actually better than markdown).

Suggestion: If english is not your native language, perhaps look for a forum of this sort IN your native language. Your post makes no sense. If english IS your native language, then I wish you the bes...

Outliner for nonfiction book 10/27/2018

Org mode is what I use but that's quite a rabbit hole and will require some setup and learing. Dynalist and Workflowy are fantastic one pane outliners, but if you are actually trying to draft rather t...
