The maker of Journler has released an alpha version of his new program called “South Lake” (for Mac):

I have not tried the new program yet but thought it might be of interest given previous interest in Journler.

Thanks for the notice.  I used Journler for quite a while until this author abruptly quit supporting it.  Since he clearly has grave doubts about every aspect of South Lake and his own motivation, I wonder why he’s even bothering.

Thanks, Lucas, interesting.

There’s a superb essay by somebody called “Nathan” in the comments on the front page (http://journler.com/2016/07/08/alpha/) detailing a whole range of information management considerations - the guy’s done a lot of research/looking around, and has some interesting insights. I never joined the Journler fan club, so don’t have the same buy-in as those who clearly did, but the things it’s trying to tackle are not dissimilar to a range of other tools out there (notably ConnectedText).

Worth a look, even if only to read the essay by Nathan!

Cheers,
Bill

Oh, and in the comments I find that Andreas Eschbach is a Journler user! I don’t know if it’s THE Andreas Eschbach, who’s one of the best German sci-fi writers around, but it might be!

How exciting!

Andreas is also a Scrivener (and Papyrus Autor) user. And if I recall correctly, he mentioned using Journler some years agon on the Scrivener forum.
