I for one will be rooting for you to succeed in your quest to pare down your PIMs, Cassius. This is something I'd love to be able to do, but it seems impossible. Oh, not paring down -- as I've done th...

My experience is similar to yours, Cassius. I had no interest in outlines prior to GrandView. To me they were just drudge work assigned by teachers. But with GrandView, I learned how useful an outline...
GrandView on VMWare 7 on Vista64

Glad you wrote that, Dr Andus. UV Outliner might be a fine, stand alone outliner, but it doesn't come close to GrandView -- then again, no apps do. The closest in my view is OmniOutliner, though I hav...
Dr Andus,
What you want to do should be possible. On my iPad I just exported an iThoughts map to OmniOutliner using OPML and it maintained the hierarchy and the inline text notes, so OPML is certainl...
Dr Andus, I just want to be clear about what I am talking about, because I am not quite sure we're discussing the same behavior. (If we are, I'm sorry for this unnecessary post.)
The question I am co...
By the way, it's good to hear from another former GrandView user!
My expectation would be yours, Rick. That is, that the promoted item would NOT become the parent of its former siblings that just happen to be below it. As Dr Andus and Alexander point out, there is a...

Speaking only for myself, I appreciate developers who keep us informed of their applications. Yours is an interesting concept. Good luck with it.

Oops. Don't know what happened with that previous reply with no actual reply in it.
But regarding export by TheBrain, it should be clarified that the application does not use a proprietary database o...

Escaping from The Brain

Hi, Graham,
Can you explain what you mean by "Because of The Brain’s policy of emasculating web output from The Brain in favour of using their cloud service"?
I don't have much experience expo...

I don't think the learning curve is too steep or long with TheBrain. And the develop...
This is the dilemma, isn't it? That "synthesis" phase is the missing link to the holy grail. While I love TheBrain and use it daily for my day job, I am not sure it is a great synthesizer of data as o...

For what it is worth (much, I think), James Fallows is approaching this new Google service with some skepticism. See here:

Just to be thorough here, returning to that same blue bar, the three square boxes to the far right of the bar will cycle through expanding the editor window or the grid window, so you can see more row...

Hi, Alexander,
Sorry that I didn't see your earlier reference ...
It's a little tricky figuring out how to expand row height:
There's a blue bar (the third element down from the top of the window). On its far left is a little box that displays the number of notes i...
P.S. Don't be fooled by the screenshot of Notebox, which makes it look like a spreadsheet. You can easily expand the cells to show much of the text.
There's an older program called Notebox Disorganizer, which might be just what you are looking for. It's actually quite ingenious, and I wish it had been developed further. This seems to be merely a h...
A couple of tools come to mind, though neither is a mind map. First, this sounds like the perfect application for Brainstorm, which is designed for exactly this purpose. Second option, which I've neve...
