Did Remnote Just Leapfrog Tana? 1 week ago

(By the way, if you happen to be on Mac, my latest approach to high-memory apps has been to create web apps in Safari via Share-->Add to Dock. Unlike web apps created in other browsers, the Safari-cre...

Roam Research -- Recent Experience? 3/7/2026

Roam Research has been maturely nicely. Although I know there is some understandable skepticism of AI on this forum, it's perhaps worth noting that the "Live AI" extension for Roam Research is extreme...

Grug Notes (web-based AI-informed outliner) 12/4/2025

@Paul, yes, I've tried it periodically over the last year, although I've never used it heavily. When I tried it recently, I was impressed by how well-integrated (and fast) the AI aspect has become. It...

Grug Notes (web-based AI-informed outliner) 12/4/2025

(Sorry for the type: should read "sophisticated AI integration".)

Grug Notes (web-based AI-informed outliner) 12/4/2025

I've been watching Grug Notes -- grugnotes.com -- for quite a while, and it has made impressive progress. I think it deserves mention here. Its basic format is a nice web-based outliner with level-bas...

Former ConnectedText users, what software did you switch to? 10/8/2025

Bear in mind that you can always keep running older programs through virtualization (e.g., running Windows 7 on VirtualBox, VMWare, Parallels, or QEMU/UTM). I run ConnectedText that way when I need it...

AI-infused 10/4/2025

Interesting conversation so far. I certainly make use of these tools---for "secretarial" and research assistant tasks rather than thinking tasks---and I've found the Tinderbox MCP integration very use...

(I think there are extensions for other browsers, but I have only tested with the Chrome extension.)

Help (Again Please) Getting Readwise Reader to Work! 9/20/2025

You need this Chrome extension: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/readwise-highlighter/jjhefcfhmnkfeepcpnilbbkaadhngkbi Then you just click on the extension icon while viewing an article and ...

Still Looking for Pocket Alternative 9/4/2025

Meanwhile, I happened to notice that a new product launched today on ProductHunt that has a Chrome extension and Android app: https://readlocker.com/ I cannot vouch for this in any way, and it appea...

Still Looking for Pocket Alternative 9/3/2025

I'm not sure if this is helpful or relevant for your approach, but you might consider Zotero, which is geared toward scholarly research. It's not designed as a read-it-later type app, but nonetheless,...

Tinderbox goes AI 8/17/2025

This is fascinating. Just a quick side note: I think Paul was referring to the attention of users rather than the attention of developers, and Claude seems to agree with me :-) (My own view is that ...

Problems with Reader as a Pocket Replacement 8/1/2025

Interesting. As I mentioned in the other thread about this, for now I'm using Instapaper as a Pocket replacement, and I have Instapaper syncing to Reader. Perhaps this would solve the issue you're see...

Pocket is closing down 5/24/2025

My current approach: I already pay for Readwise Reader, which can sync with Pocket, so Pocket is already backed up there. Reader can also sync with Instapaper, so I think from now on I'll just use In...

Blackwell Idealist 5/22/2025

Note that a post ostensibly from Richard Nunn, original author of Idealist, states the following: As the original author, I'm calling it: Idealist is now abandonware. The Wikipedia definit...

Directory of infinite canvas tools 5/8/2025

(I forgot to mention that YouMinds Composer is probably the most robust in terms of multiple views include canvas-type views and outline views. Not my favorite UI, but it still works.)

Directory of infinite canvas tools 5/7/2025

Great list. Meanwhile, the niche that interests me is tools that both have an infinite, flexible canvas (not just strict mind-mapping) and also have an outline view of the items on the canvas. Very fe...

New logical outlining tools 4/13/2025

Right. LLMs are mimetic machines which reverse engineer the appearance of intelligence. Although they can be deceptive, they can also be useful if used with understanding.

MyInfo Is My Choice 4/13/2025

CT still appears to run fine for me on 24H2, running in compatibility mode for Windows 8. However, I'm running Windows on Parallels. So who knows, maybe Parallels somehow impacts this error?

Of course there are many, and one can design one's own, but one more that is currently active: https://github.com/UdaraJay/concept-explorer
