Gingko or Dynalist?
11/27/2017
No. They are baffled by it too. They tried to reproduce it, and couldn't... not surprising, because I didn't give them a lot of detail about how it happened, since it took me by surprise... I wasn't k...
Gingko or Dynalist?
11/27/2017
Just for the record, I had mentioned sending a message to Dynalist about the problem I had and not getting a response. Since then, Erica from Dynalist has responded to my comment about losing a list.

Nice map. I bet it was also fun to build it.

is Scapple the best for "thinking on paper"

This topic inspired me to create a Tinderbox map showing some of the ways you might use such a map as a thinking space. You can view the screenshot here:

That's impressive, Andy. Looking forward to trying it out.

Another white board app that compares to Scapple is Curio. Of course, like Tinderbox, Curio is much more than a concept mapping app. But it does that Scapple-like work pretty well. It is more expensiv...

Now that Scapple has labels for the links, it may be. (I haven't been able to use this feature, because the new version isn't up on the App Store yet.) But Tinderbox is hard to beat. You can write a l...
Gingko or Dynalist?

In fairness, the Pro version of Dynalist does have a backup feature. You can backup to Dropbox or Google Drive (or both). It also does Version History (a recent addition), and I may have been able to ...
Gingko or Dynalist?

I love Dynalist, but I just had a harrowing experience with it. I had one long list disappear as if deleted. I had opened the list (which was a node of a parent list) in the browser of three different...
TheBrain 9 reaches its beta phase
11/18/2017
Try TheBrain 9. It has been completely rewritten. The versions you tried before were all Java-based. They've abandoned Java and have written native applications for Mac and Windows. I use TheBrain 9 o...
What is the oldest application you use?

Clueless,
I think you win the trophy for oldest apps! I have access to Grandview, a DOS outliner -- in my opinion the best application ever -- on my MacBook with DOSBox, but unfortunately I can't say...
What is the oldest application you use?

Your mention of KEdit reminds me that an application that is a bit old on my Windows machine, but which I use almost daily is NoteTab. I use 6.2 standard, which I like better than version 7, because i...

If there was a "like" icon for this comment, I would have clicked it.

Just to add a little more detail, Brainstorm was originally developed for DOS. The original programmers updated it to Windows and kept improving it until about ten years ago, then transferred ownershi...
New version of Tinderbox now available

Version 7.3 of Tinderbox was just released. It has a new feature that promises to be very handy. You can set up a Tbox document to watch a Finder folder and automatically import files. This means you ...
What is the oldest application you use?

On my office Windows machine I have Info Select 8, Brainstorm, AskSam 6 installed, but do not use any of them, except Brainstorm occasionally.
I use Adobe Creative Suite from 2009 regularly.

Blast from the past: Writer's Blocks
11/6/2017
For those of you not familiar with the Windows program Writer's Blocks, it is basically a way to write anything with virtual index cards. It was innovative about 15 years ago, but has long since been ...
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners
11/6/2017
What is and what isn't an outliner is open for interpretation. For some it seems that anything that allows you to generate a hierarchy is an outliner, but my own definition is that a genuine outliner ...

I agree, especially in an outliner that costs that much. On the other hand, do any of the MacOS/iOS outliners have cloning?

One more note. I love Dynalist, but I've found a bug in the iOS version that makes it unusable on my iPad. I used it once with a blue tooth keyboard and now it behaves as if my keyboard is always link...

One other option is Cloud Outliner Pro. I hadn't used this in awhile, but just reinstalled on my MacBook and iPad. I set it up to sync via iCloud (there's also a proprietary server sync and an Evernot...

OmniOutliner seems to me to be geared toward presenting nice-looking outlines, rather than to creating working documents.
Do TaskPaper documents still open okay in Taskmator or Task on Paper in iOS?...

This is like catnip to me. Must reading. Thanks for the heads up.
