I have looked at and tried most of the apps you suggest and a lot of other ones too (no surprise to anyone who has followed my CRIMP travails). An app not on your list that I suggest you take a look a...
New app, Bike
12/21/2022
Curious to know how Bike is better than OutlineEdit, for those of you familiar with both:

Thanks.

Sad state of Evernote
12/5/2022
I still keep an Evernote account as a backup for gathering random information. The one thing Evernote hasn't been beaten at (in my view) is in the ubiquitous methods for putting data into it. For a lo...
Heptabase

I did the same last spring. He did eventually get back to me and gave me my refund.

Robot writing apps
11/10/2022
I wonder what this group thinks of some of the new AI writing applications. Mem X now has Smart Write and Smart Edit. See this video:

As I wrote in the comments for that...
Obsidian 1.0
11/10/2022
I completely agree with this. Being able to read your writing sections as one long document is very useful in ensuring a smooth, engaging flow to your writing. I wish more writing apps did this.

This forum is a time capsule
10/12/2022
I was always fond of InfoSelect, which had a lot of potential, but was too expensive and a bit esoteric. I find that it still available:

A new purchase is $279, h...
Tana?
10/9/2022
This rather rambling video provides a look at how Tana works. It makes me even more eager to get my finger tips on it.

Tana?
10/8/2022
I have signed up for the wait list. I am intrigued, of course. I'm not sure how long the wait will be.

Advice needed
10/8/2022
Lawrence,
Have you considered either of these apps:
https://cintanotes.com
https://standardnotes.com
These work well with plain text. Probably not all the organizational features of Idealist.
Ste...
Advice needed
10/7/2022
This recommendation is based on a hunch that it might work. Not on experience. But have you looked at Zoot?

It has been around for 25 years. I'm not sure that it has ad...
Two new CRISPY-CRIMP flavours
10/5/2022
These both look interesting. Thanks!
Legend
10/1/2022
Thanks, Jay.
I looked for Legend on the iOS App Store and couldn't find it, but others in this forum did. I had installed the app when it was still known as moo.do.

I think the fact that it was known as moo.do for a time has made it difficult to find. I'm having trouble finding how you install it, though it is listed here:

Legend

Legend works and syns on iPhone.

xTiles is live on Product Hunt!
9/21/2022
I hope you had a successful launch!
Steve
There are lots of uses for outlines, of course. One interesting one -- and I think it is why apps like Roam are popular -- is dialoging with yourself. You can do that with any writing app, but you can...
xTiles will launch on Product Hunt
9/9/2022
I subscribed to xTiles because I want to support this Ukrainian operation and because I think the app has a lot of potential as a digital notebook, though as Andrey acknowledged there is still much wo...
Flowdex
9/8/2022
I just learned about a new app called Flowedex. It needs more features to be fully useful, but its approach intrigues me. Basically you create note "flows" based on a topic. So you can create a flow f...
Capacities: a new mega PKIM App
9/8/2022
The problem I have with great new apps like Capacities is that they have features I covet, but they also lack features I need (because they are still being developed). By the time those features are i...
I just got a notification from Craft that their Windows version is now available. I am excited by this news, because I live in a dual Mac/Windows world, but I haven't tried the Windows version yet -- ...
Microsoft OneNote Changes
9/2/2022
I use OneNote 2016, but have tried to avoid it because I hate OneNote for Windows 10 and felt that was the direction Microsoft was going. This video is indeed very reassuring. Thank you for directing ...
Another option is a new app called Routine, which combines task tracking and notes. It is free (for now)
https://www.routine.co/
It obviously doesn't have the track record of Amplenote, so there is ...
Mem
8/24/2022
Sadly, no. I keep wanting to like Mem, but it doesn't stick (of course, what does with me?). For an app of its kind, I find the editor isn't quite up to snuff. Craft (even the browser version) has a f...
Yes, check out Hyperplan. But also consider Scrintal or Heptabase. Where Walling and xTiles are more structured as to how your blocks (tiles or cards) are shown on the page, Heptabase and Scrintal are...
