And one more that is literally a plain text outliner: Innovation Dilation's Indigrid
Some options to consider:
* Notion allows you to outline and nest pages inside each other (where a page acts as a folder) or create database pages (no outline)
* Logseq is an outliner with separate p...
I find these unwanted assumptions annoying and a waste of my time trying to manage them. I have turned off using memories and previous chats for this reason. I have also turned off "improve the model ...
The good news is that both methods are non-destructive, so anyone can try either one and see what works. Good luck!

I moved my notes from ConnectedText to Obsidian. I used two methods for this. Both require that you have access to ConnectedText to export files. I used my old Windows 10 laptop for that.
1) The easi...
What is the critical feature that you need? Is it the PDF annotation? Because notetaking, images, tasks, reminders, powerful search, outlines, and exports of notes are available in The Journal, same a...

They have a process for adding new tools via their GitHub page, if anyone wants to add their favourites.
DaidRM's The Journal can do this. https://www.davidrm.com/
Either printing a selection of entries, or creating entry reports and printing those. Both accessible from the print button.

I came across this site and it's beautifully done. Their app gallery covers everything from notetaking to mindmaps to brainstorming to painting.

MyInfo Is My Choice

Windows 11 24H2 update also broke ConnectedText on two of my computers. It was working fine before the update, so the error is not hardware-related. I couldn't find any compatibility workarounds that ...
Crimping as nihilism

Do people actually find new software on Product Hunt? I am both a gamer and a crimper and don't use the site myself. I find new games on Steam or Discord, and new software here or on reddit.

Using this on mobile Firefox and Obsidian makes it the first full replacement of the old Evernote web clipper on my phone, i.e. able to capture the full text of...

Ultra Recall's Future

I also still use it as it is a powerful and flexible information database. Development is slow but not abandoned, focusing on fixes. So I consider it to be "done" and use it with the current feature s...
Multi-Platform "Junk Drawer" App

I would also recommend UpNote. Its simplicity is a plus, and its editing and organising features are much better than Simplenote.

Obsidian reminds me of Emacs, except that normal people can actually use it.

I just started using Lineage last week and I can recommend it. It has extensive keyboard shortcuts that make it easy to add notes above, below and to the right, as well as splitting and merging them. ...
TheBrain has a robust web version that might work for you. It's not so difficult to use and doesn't require a lot of customisation. It has tags/categories and all the notes are linked. Downside is tha...

Outliners indexing external links
