Another new app

Yo folks,

Re: Notebag (macOS only pro tem)

Yes, I recently took advantage of an offer by Mariner Software to buy a macOS app, Notebag, for a reduced price. It looked decidedly interesting (not least because it supports wikilinks and backlinks, as well as tagging).

It’s been a pleasant discovery. The developer has taken the unusual step of providing a roadmap (inventively hosted on Trello at https://trello.com/b/AJkNjCqP/notebag-public-roadmap), and the app is already very polished. It’s a bit like Bear, but optimised for what he calls “projects” (in practice, hashtags; Notebag supports hierarchical hashtags, too). The backlink function in particular is very slick.

There’s a 7-day trial available on the website (https://notebag.app), and even the full price is very modest. There are still things that need improving, but they’re all on the roadmap, as is the promise of mobile apps (critical for an app of this kind).

Cheers!
Bill
