Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
11/5/2017
Neo (on the Mac App Store, successor to Tao) remains a very full-featured, if relatively uncelebrated option (uncelebrated perhaps because its UI takes a degree of learning).
And of course there's al...

Just to say, having researched all the wikis suggested above, that I think Notion's address is: https://www.notion.so. (notion.io is a home automation site!).
The Tinderbox Way 3rd Edition released
10/28/2017
For those interested, here's a link to the site for the book: http://www.eastgate.com/Tinderbox/TinderboxWay.html. There's a link to a freebie of a chapter to read.
The Tinderbox Way 3rd Edition released
10/27/2017
Incidentally, for those who are interested but who are unfamiliar with the earlier editions, TTW is not - or at least was not - a "How to..." book. It is much more about the philosophy behind the appl...
The Tinderbox Way 3rd Edition released
10/27/2017
In a few days or weeks, I should be interested to hear from anybody who will by then have read the new edition in what general ways it adds to the contents of the first (which I read some years ago).
Frankly, I am not surprised that you cannot replace two of your utilities effectively with Keyboard Maestro. For instance, Keyboard Maestro is a terrific application and can do text expansion, but in ...

Parallels Desktop 13

Steve, I run a similar set-up to yours (Mac Mini plus 16Gb of RAM) although your Mac Mini may be more recent than mine. I used to run Parallels with Windows 8, Dragon Dictate and Word on it. It worked...
Thanks, Steve.

Yes, it works for me now.
Hmm. Something seems amiss with its website today.
Interesting. Thanks, Paul.
Notebooks as a Ulysses replacement
8/21/2017
Thanks for this summary, Bill.
I think the point about the multi-note (or Scrivenings) view is that its importance depends on what you're writing. If what you're writing is simply a short note, it's ...
Notebooks as a Ulysses replacement
8/20/2017
Doesn't Ulysses have one or two key characteristics which any potential replacement ought to match or exceed?
There seem to me to be at least two such characteristics. They are: its facility to allow...
Isn't this the second re-branding of Together? I can't remember its original name, although I have a feeling it was, like Keep It, "double-barrelled". (Was it Keep It Together?)
There was a period fo...
I'm guessing - I do not know - that the McKinsey studies that have produced these results are based largely, if not entirely, on the business software market, especially SaaS (Software as a Service), ...
A couple of arguments in favour of the subscription model, from blogger Dr Drang: http://leancrew.com/all-this/2017/08/subscriptions/ (credit MacSparky: https://www.macsparky.com).

Things 3 is released
8/2/2017
Thanks for this news, Bill. I used a copy of a previous version of Firetask for several months (possibly because it had a kanban view - I can't remember). For a while it appeared to be abandoned. It's...
Thank you, Paul. Yes, interesting - and now one of my bookmarks.
David Sparks has a post on his Mac blog that is reasonably sympathetic to the principle behind Day One's move, although it does not discuss the way it was done: https://www.macsparky.com/blog/2017/7/p...
