ConnectedText; any case studies?
2/15/2012
Thanks for the details, Graham. What an ambitious project. Congratulations on getting it finished... it looks great. It's interesting how different our uses are for the same software.

ConnectedText; any case studies?
2/15/2012
Hello,
In my continuing quest to find the perfect information manager, I am once more delving seriously into ConnectedText. This move was prompted by my general dissatisfaction with the solutions I'v...
MyBase and NoteFrog on BDJ
2/8/2012
Some years ago I bought a license for NoteFrog, because its functionality intrigued me -- it was probably during an earlier Bits promotion. However, the interface is so "old fashioned" that it looks l...
Crimping in the 80s and 90s
2/1/2012
One other '80s app that I've just recalled was Sidekick. It was my first real PIM with a calendar and other utilities. The big deal was that with Sidekick you could copy text from one application and ...

Hah! Great topic...
Some of the antique PIMs I once used:
- Instant Recall, a nice little DOS PIM
- GrandView (of course)
- Memory Mate
- EccoPro
- InfoSelect
In most cases, you not only couldn't tr...
Seems to me he left off Simple Note, which you can have on your mobile device (I don't know if there is an app for all devices or just Apple's). On a Mac computer, you can read these with the free app...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
1/25/2012
Hi, Simon,
I understand the caution with free software; though there are ample examples of paid applications which become abandoned.
I believe you can put a lot of information in a CircusPonies Note...
Mac: Notebook vs Notetaker
1/24/2012
I have used both, but I do not rely on them much, so this opinion is not based on deep usage.
I think Notebook is considered the more solid of the two, and that matches my experience. I do like the c...
Tree Outliner (Mac)
1/24/2012
Hi, Jim,
For those interested and who might have missed it, I wrote a review of Tree for Mac Appstorm last summer. Here is the link:

single-pane outliner with fields/columns
1/23/2012
Thanks for the heads up on the Noteliner update, Bill. A great program just keeps getting better. With the exception of namesakes, Noteliner seems to me to be the program I wish Brainstorm had been (a...

Also, Tinderbox or its little brother, Twig, can act as single-pane outliners with custom columns. Again, just for the Mac.

single-pane outliner with fields/columns
1/18/2012
I can't think of any for Windows. On a Mac there are two choices, OmniOutliner and Neo. Also, the outliner in Scrivener supports custom columns... which the Windows version does not yet have.
It's sh...
NoteTab for note-taking
1/14/2012
WSP,
Thanks for the heads up about the PC/Mac version of Notebooks. I have just started using it on an iPod Touch and it is a fine application, which should be terrific as a desktop program.

Zoot XT - experiences?
1/7/2012
Early in its beta release (which was what? 30 or so years ago now, I think) I hated Zoot XT (or version 6, as it is also known). That was when I was using Windows XP still. But a few months ago, my wo...
A whole new world!!!

BTW, I also meant to ask if anyone has any other suggestions or experience with these apps. Thanks!

A whole new world!!!
12/28/2011
Okay, I know that admitting that until now I didn't have a modern mobile device will make me seem like a Luddite, but I just got an iPod Touch and am very impressed by the wide world of apps, and how ...
Happy holidays
12/24/2011
I just want to wish everyone who reads and/or contributes to this wonderful forum a happy holiday season. OutlinerSoftware is a must-read destination for me once or twice a day (and more if there's a ...
Flying Logic for Mac on sale this weekend
12/17/2011
Hello,
I just noticed that Flying Logic, which has been discussed on this forum in the past, is on sale for $99 (usually $249) at MacZOT:
http://www.maczot.com/
I've never used the software, so thi...
I would suggest taking a look at InfoQube if you haven't. It does import OPML. While I couldn't find an export option, I find it hard to believe it can't be done, because Pierre has added so many thou...
WhizFolders vs Scrivener for Windows
12/7/2011
Scrivener for Windows has what is *almost* a hoist. Select a sub folder or sub note, choose outline view and you will see just that note's sub notes in the outline view. The same works for the cork bo...
@Lucas, just for the record, Curio has a fairly powerful meta data scheme, especially for an application like this. You can assign tags, flags, start and due dates and even resources to any individual...
@Lucas - I'm curious about your set up. Since you use Tinderbox, you have to be using a Mac. Do you use OneNote with VMWare Fusion or Parallels, or do you use different machines? Also, have you taken ...
memomaster
11/30/2011
There may be good reasons to allow only folders to have children in some applications, but any application that does so is definitely NOT an outliner. I personally prefer being able to make notes with...
WhizFolders vs Scrivener for Windows
11/28/2011
That's nice of you to say, Jon.
I should have mentioned at least one advantage Whizfolders has over Scrivener (for Windows), is a longer history, and a developer who have demonstrated their commitmen...
WhizFolders vs Scrivener for Windows
11/28/2011
Jon,
I'm more familiar with Scrivener than with Whizfolders, although I have a license for both and have used both, so I hope my thoughts will prove helpful.
I would choose Scrivener over Whizfolde...
