Looks like a nice tool. Is it better than Orgpad or Capacities for making diagrams of networked notes?
Building a Second Brain
11/7/2022
I agree with Dellu. I spent a brief time messing around with zettelkasten and found it to be counterproductive busywork that got in the way of actually getting things done. I'm not trying to "build a ...
Capacities: a new mega PKIM App

This looks cool. Going to try it out.
Lady Bumps and Data Dumps

For the use case you're describing, I think I would try Easy Data Transform. Available for both Windows and Macs.
Maps e.g., etc.

Not losing items in a long hierarchy is one of the reasons why I like to use a mindmap instead of a collapsible outline. The mindmap has two dimensions (left-right and up-down), and you can see all th...
What's your view on the Remarkable tablet? Is it easy to sync your writing so you can work with the text on a laptop later?
OPML interop
5/24/2022
That's a useful list. Not complete, though. I looked into OPML a while back to transfer outlines between programs. Here's what I found:
On Windows
- InfoQube imports OPML
- ConnectedText imports OPML...
Hi Bill,
You could give Amazing Marvin a try. It doesn't do grids or tables, which I also find off-putting. Tags, dates, notes, dependencies, all are toggle-able on or off, so it can be as clean as yo...
Thank you for the heads up. It appears that you can move annotations from Zotero into the PDF, but it's a manual step as far as I can tell. See https://www.zotero.org/support/kb/annotations_in_databas...
Roam v. Obsidian
3/17/2022
I found it very interesting to read the areas in which Logseq was considered better than Roam. I've been using the Logseq mobile app for the past six weeks, just making some daily notes, and it's alre...
He's going to roam from Roam
2/17/2022
It's a good warning for those of us who are considering jumping in, what it feels like after a while of using it.
I've never been attracted to Roam, but have just started using Logseq, which has a de...
My Medium article about Legend
2/17/2022
Hi Stephen,
A very interesting article. Thank you very much for sharing.
Legend appears to share a lot of functionality with InfQube:
- Outlines for organising information in the form of blocks/item...
I have just come across Thinkcomposer that can do this: http://www.thinkcomposer.com/
It has been discussed here in the past. It's now free.
As someone who uses a lot of different software programs, I avoid subscription fees for any program that isn't in near-daily use. I could bankrupt myself paying for all of them! And the vast majorit...
Hi Karel,
I use it to organise my reference materials and research. If you think about Scrivener or any other outliner, all the materials are organised in a long list of nested folders underneath eac...
Indigrid does that, I believe
Freeplane allows you to add free floating nodes and move them anywhere on the page. You can add connection arrows at will, and move those too.
UpNote continues to improve

I was able to create a new tag on Windows by typing it. Once it was added, the Tags heading appeared in the left pane in both Windows and Android. They were not visible before then.

Another option, though I have not used it myself, could be Taskade: https://www.taskade.com/

Yes, SimpleNote is a great program and also free, I believe. I used it for a while until it started glitching: text that I wrote on my phone would be added several times, notes that I deleted would n...
Planning & executing

Hi Dellu,
I am a consultant not an academic, but I recognise your situation. I have so many ideas about what I could do next that I also find myself drifting from one to the next, leaving a lot of th...

Yes, the example database has {tag} text at the bottom of each note. Obviously could be #tag as well. Using search will find tagged notes.
Making a manual tags list note called {tags} and adding the ...

I was clicking around the BitsDuJour PIM category and ended up at the NoteFrog website. This small and handy program is now available with a free license on its homepage: http://notefrog.com/.
