Another new app

Well, it’s a nice app and he’s responsive to suggestions, so enough with the cutting criticism already! Maybe he has picked up on Roam/Obsidian - good for him: it’s not long ago that people were lamenting the decline of the Zettelkasten-style app with wikilinks/backlinks. Now there’s an increasing number of them!

As for Mariner Software - nothing mysterious there, Mariner regularly organises sales of other people’s software; they’re not really a developer themselves, they either sublicense stuff from developers (e.g. MacJournal) or simply sell third-party software (e.g. Notebag and a whole bunch of other non-Mariner apps). You’ll also find Notebag being promoted on the BoingBoing website, for example. Again, this doesn’t mean the developer is some kind of tricksy scumbag, it means he’s being sensible and selling via multiple channels. Jeez, people.

Cheers,
Bill
