Scrintal
2/27/2022
There is yet another app that is in early beta and trying to work its way into the visual note-taking field. It is called Scrintal. They describe it as "if Miro and Obsidian had a baby!"
Anyway, if y...
Heptabase

I thought of Tinderbox too.

Heptabase

I agree that charging $7 a month at this point in the development is a bit presumptuous. They do offer a one-week money back guarantee... not very generous, but it does let you give the app a try out ...
Heptabase
2/17/2022
I've been reviewing the relatively new app Heptabase. It still has a long way to go to be fully functional for me, but I am very intrigued by the potential.
With Heptabase, you write notes in cards.....
He's going to roam from Roam
2/17/2022
Interesting back and forth on Roam.
I could never warm up to Roam myself, but I saw that as just that it didn't fit my style of note-taking (or lack thereof). Roam does have room for improvement, as ...
OutlineEdit 3 released

Robin,
Congratulations on version 3. I always admired your previous versions and am looking forward to trying out the new one.

My Medium article about Legend
2/15/2022
Thanks for the nice comments, Sarah.
I think that was the first software article I published to Medium. I haven't done much on that platform yet, but I'm making an effort to do more. We'll see how th...
My Medium article about Legend
2/15/2022
Hi, Bill,
Thanks for the nice comments about my article.
I understand that frustration with Legend. I have experienced it myself, giving up on the app the first couple of times I tried it. Even now ...
My Medium article about Legend
2/14/2022
I just posted an article about the outlining app Legend on Medium, if any is interested in this app:

Productivity porn and yak shaving
2/10/2022
I think it is safe to say that the folks on this forum are true pathfinders in this "new" world of productivity apps. Zettlekasten is almost a household word now, and this forum was discussing it at l...
If the app in question is primarily web-based, I will always expect to pay an annual subscription, though I would prefer not to. When the app lives on my computer, Andy's solution seems reasonable.

Not sure what you mean by compatible. Probably you mean comparable (undoubtedly a mistype). If that is what you meant, I disagree. Though they go about it differently, both are personal knowledge mana...
Winterfest promotion
1/12/2022
One of the knocks on Tinderbox was "how expensive" it is. But its price is beginning to look reasonable as apps like Roam Research are twice as costly per year. And unlike Roam, Tinderbox will still k...
Subtask.co
1/6/2022
Sadly, any app can be shutdown at any time. Which remains one of the reasons a subscription service is still riskier than a one-time purchase. And it makes a long track record all the more of a consid...
Best wishes for 2022

Same to you, Alexander, and everyone else on the forum.

You might also look at Legend (it was moo.do). Like Dynalist, you can have separate documents, but you don't have to. And with Legend you can open different views of your outline side by side.

This may not be of any interest to anyone but me, but I recently did a brain dump of what my ideal task/project/goal management app would look like. This list isn't in any particular order.

Effie is still extremely new. In fact, I sent them a message asking about a road map and I got an email back telling me I was their very first subscriber! I expect many upgrades to come. It seems they...
I just learned about a writing app called Effie. It looks like an interesting option. Here are some of the main features:

- It encourages the building of outlines in...
Winterfest promotion

Lots of great software available through Winterfest. Thanks, Andy.
If Gems interests you, I suggest you take a look at TheBrain, which appears to me to be a lot more feature-rich. The one thing that TheBrain lacks that Gems appears to have is a graphical window that ...
Brainstorming tools

I don't think I quite understand the question, because it seems to me any outliner should help brainstorm like a pen to paper, with some limitations, but also with some advantages.
I am reminded of t...

Speaking for myself, I like to see updates on from the developers. And John from Taskade has done what we've asked of developers, which is to just update a single thread, rather than posting a new thr...
