Visiting RightNote’s website (http://www.bauerapps.com/rightnote-release-history/), I noticed that Rael Bauer is now offering new releases at surprising speed. Since last November, the release history is as follows:
15 November 2017 — 6 December 2017 — 12 December 2017 — 17 January 2018 — 22 February 2018 — 27 February 2018 — 8 March 2018 — 18 March 2018 — 20 March 2018
In some cases he offers only a few small improvements, but in others (such as that of 22 February, which includes a list of twenty) the changes are more substantial.
This rapid pace seems to confirm his promise last year that he would be focusing on RightNote more vigorously. I wish some of my other software were displaying such signs of life.

It is nice to see that he has picked up the pace of development. When I purchased RN a few years ago, he was awfully slow to respond to email questions about product support/use. I know he was a one-man show, but it left me feeling a bit frustrated at the time as days, if not weeks, would go by before I got a response. As I have a license, I may give it a second look as it had many nice features, but was missing a few that I needed at the time.

RightNote definitely shows promise. From my point of view, its greatest weakness is the fairly primitive tagging system. But aside from that, it’s a good choice for those who prefer to keep data on their own computer rather than in the cloud. (As is MyInfo, incidentally.)
I gather, for example, that when Microsoft abandons its desktop version of OneNote in the foreseeable future, the (somewhat dumbed-down) app replacement will be a cloud-only program. That makes me very uneasy.

Is there a notice posted that Microsoft will abandon OneNote desktop on Windows? Link? Or is that just some blogosphere conjecturing?

Here’s one link to the Microsoft forum:
Apparently the traditional version of OneNote will not be included in the Office 2019 suite.
