If you go to the Circus Ponies page, they removed the reference to turd note-taking apps. A smart decision, I'd say.

Slarti,
Notebook was a forked product, I believe, when the developer split with a partner, who went on to develop a very similar app called Notetaker:

Highly unprofessional indeed.
I would be sorry to see it go, except that CPN appears to have little regard for their customers. So good riddance.

Ulysses progress
1/3/2016
No intent to criticize you, Paul. I hope you know that. I just wanted to make sure that people understood that the reduced pace of improvements to Ulysses could be due to focus on the iPhone app. Ther...
Ulysses progress

Franz. My bad. I meant to write that someone in the Year End thread had suggested that The Soulmen were just TWEEKING the app, not that they were tweeting about it. (Although maybe it was auto correct...
Ulysses progress
1/3/2016
In the Year End Crimping thread, someone mentioned they thought The Soulmen were just tweeting Ulysses, that it had plateaued. Not wanting to hijack that thread, I started this new topic just to say t...
Mindly for iphone, ipad

How is Mindly working for you? I just saw that Mindly now has a version for OSX in case that is of interest.

TheBrain 9 -- First Look Preview
12/28/2015
This is just a guess on my part, but I doubt they would make TheBrain cloud only in the future. Doing so would undermine some of the beauty of the software, which can have virtual thoughts to files an...
The end of the Taking Note blog
12/26/2015
I am sorry to get this news. I've enjoyed reading Manfred's commentary on note-taking for many years. I hope he reconsiders after some time to reflect on his decision, but if he doesn't, I appreciate ...
TheBrain 9 -- First Look Preview
12/26/2015
Thanks for pointing this out, Paul.
I am so looking forward to this new version. For the website it looks like they've improved many of the areas where I had issues with TheBrain. Being able to open ...
That is an interesting article, good food for thought. For the same reasons the author states, I've been skeptical of tagging as the primary organizational tool, at least for me. The idea of processin...
Hey, I signed up too. It was only afterward all these strange thoughts flowed into my peanut brain. - Steve Z.

I signed up... now I'm kinda ashamed.
There is so little real information on the website, just vague promises. Made me question if at last some Ph.D. grad student is beginning to study CRIMPing and is looking for a group to test. Because ...
New version of StickyBrain
11/29/2015
On the App store it sells for $19.99 -- that's U.S -- but even at that I wouldn't buy it.
Happy Thanksgiving

I can only echo what Jaslar wrote. I feel the same about this forum, though for me it is pecan pie!

A quick update on OutlineEdit

I totally echo what Paul says.

Curio 10 now available
11/9/2015
I haven't tried it yet, but I just got a notice from Curio's developer, George Browning, that version 10 is now available. Here's what he has to say about it:

Hello, also
11/6/2015
John,
Welcome to this forum. I think you'll find this is one of the best groups of people on the internet. Knowledgeable and glad to share experiences and advice.
Your journey through the notes/info...
Hello
11/5/2015
Glad that you joined us, Kenny. Judging by the long list of apps you've tried, you'll fit right in here. Please be sure to update us on your progress with Workflowy. I've tried using it in the past, b...
Changes re: Circus Ponies NoteBook
11/3/2015
Like Hugh, I switched to Mac partly due to the allure of CP Notebook (though Scrivener was more powerful). But I quickly found the adherence to the notebook metaphor a bit too limiting. Also like Hugh...
The crime novelist David Hewson is never one to be shy with his opinions about software for writing -- he's also very generous with his advice for writers.
He describes his new minimalist approach to...
Beginning to see the light with org-mode

My response to his initial inquiry made his presentation. Unfortunately, he didn't find it very useful.
The presentation makes it clear (as have all the Org-Mode fans here), that Emacs/Org-Mode is s...
SmartDown for Mac
10/22/2015
If you're considering iAWriter, I would look at Ulysses before hand. Ulysses cost a bit more, but it is way more powerful. If you don't need an iOS version, or a full writing suite, then SmartDown sou...
It is no doubt true that Folding Text didn't sell well enough to keep Jesse's attention on it, but his next project could very well be even more difficult to make work financially, as many early-adopt...
Tons of sense here from all points of view.
Hog Bay or any other developer certainly has the right to pull the plug on an app whenever they choose. Sometimes, if they've made promises to customers th...
