Multi-Platform "Junk Drawer" App
10/28/2024
You could also use Standard Notes, which is what I currently use. The free version is an upgrade from Simplenote, and there's also a paid version with more advanced features. It appears at first glanc...
Interesting, Nathan. Thanks for sharing how you're using spaced repetition. With RemNote, the shortcoming I've discovered is that, for the sake of efficiency, the developers have chosen to make search...
Hunch. node first knowledge discovery.
9/18/2024
Hunch does provide a free trial. It uses Stripe's "Link" service for payment, which annoyingly doesn't provide a cancellation option, but I emailed Hunch support and Matt canceled my subscription prom...
Given your criteria, I would recommend RemNote, which functions fully both on the web and offline (or at least it has 99% functionality offline).

Some outliner programs have database-like capabilities, allowing for extensive metadata/columns (programs such as InfoQube, Tinderbox, and Tana). And, recently, more database-like programs have been a...
Obsidian vs Logseq conundrum
4/14/2024
Regarding the limitations of a tree structure and the implementation of node "cloning" in mind map programs:
Personally, I find it much more helpful to have a "concept map", where an item can have mu...

Zoot revisited ... again
3/21/2024
I don't use it. I just saw that the update was released (although the beta has been out for a while) and it's been discussed here a lot in the past. Perhaps others will chime in.

Roam Research Status?
3/19/2024
You can see the changelog here:

Development has indeed been slow, and certainly slower than that of Logseq and RemNote, but it still has its streng...
A few more notes:
I was looking for these criteria (in addition to the criteria stated above):
1) notes created automatically from highlights
2) highlight-notes accessible in an integrated view rath...
There is also RemNote, which functions similarly to LogSeq in this regard.
You could also check out Zotero, Mendeley, and Citavi, and see if any of them meet your needs. But I have yet to find a sat...
Obsidian vs Logseq conundrum

@Tumbleweed
Sounds like LogSeq is a good fit. But regarding what you mentioned about Obsidian, I assume you have tried tweaking the settings for the Backlinks core plugin, including the "Backlink in ...
Obsidian vs Logseq conundrum
3/14/2024
You don't have to choose. You can run LogSeq and Obsidian on the same set of Markdown files. As long as you don't have LogSeq set to do things like timestamps, this dual approach seems to work well. A...
Two things of note to outliners who use Obsidian:
1) There is a new plugin that implements a "Scrivenings"-like mode where you can combine files in a vertical flow. Unlike embeds, the files are edita...
ADM -- Just What Is Going On?
3/11/2024
Interesting, yes. For my purposes, I just wanted to fire up ADM as I have some old files in that format that I'd like to view. But these days InfoQube fills the niche for me.

Following up 8+ years later... In case anyone is still looking, I found the installation file for ADM version 3.0 (technically it appears to be version 3.329):

Sentence outliner?

@Franz, that makes sense. The other resources Cyganet posted could also be useful for using at the editing stage. A "linked style" in Word is a style that functions both as a paragraph style and a cha...

Sentence outliner?

All very interesting, Cyganet. And yes, I'm remembering that now from ConnectedText. As far as having the best of both worlds, I'm now realizing that with Microsoft Word, it's possible to edit in both...
