Evernote system limits 7/5/2023

I don't remember whether there was ever such a limit in the early days. Certainly wasn't when everything was local. But equally don't remember it being brought in - not that I have been keeping in tou...

Exporting from UpNote 7/5/2023

Export is easy. I'd suggest creating some of the most complex notes you think you would ever write, export them in markdown and then import them into whichever alternative seems best at the moment. (...

XTiles — 2023 6/28/2023

I'm just adding my farthing's worth. I tried it today. Initially felt okay. But crashed quite often - despite my barely doing anything. And only one tile style didn't glare in dark mode. Fundamentally...

A ramble about various note-taking applications 6/21/2023

My eyes are very sensitive to glare from the screen. I can cope with light mode for only a limited amount of time. A dark mode with large areas of white is unusable. It used to be common for programs ...

With all the praise for TheBrain, I thought I'd try it again. Uninstalled it in less than five minutes. No decent dark mode, antiquated interface.

Suggestions for a Task/Project Management Software that has a 1:1 mind map view? 6/14/2023

What I find most interesting about that review is that none of the programs are mentioned in Stephen Zeoli's thread.

Anyone know what advantages it has over Obsidian's Canvas?

WriteMonkey gets better and better 2/28/2023

Just to say that the latest update to WM3 came out in January. Works well for me.

50% deal off Scrivener for the next few days 2/28/2023

I'm all in favour of developers contributing, replying, announcing so long as it's clear who they are. That just improves everyone's understanding. I'm not sure why Scrivener is offering a discount. ...

Scrintal now available for $60US/year for first 2,000 subscribers 10/4/2022

I don't mind hype. Makes it easier to learn about something I'm interested in. Nor do I mind paying for earlier access. My original post about their launch strategy was in context of a post questionin...
