Indigrid
12/29/2017
I don't think anyone wants a side of philosophy with their software, especially when the software being philosophized about doesn't work.
Here's a shorter manifesto:
1. Figure out what the software ...
Indigrid does look interesting, but within the first few moments of testing it, I ran into three problems:
1. There doesn't appear to be a help file. The Help link leads to a long philosophical artic...
Manuscripts now free!

It looks nice - judging from the screenshots - though not revolutionary. If the new funding lets the developers release a Windows version, they'll really have something there.

Do you have a direct link to the desktop download? I couldn't find it on ribozum.com. Registering for an account doesn't seem to accomplish anything.

So, is ConnectedText really dead now?
11/29/2017
Unless you have confirmation that Connected Text is "dead", your post is irresponsible and you should consider removing it. Websites do go down every so often. The Connected Text site is *not* down.

There's always room for another *good* book about anything.

This is exactly right. When all I want to do is what a tool like Sc...
The notes feature has some promise, but it's clunky like the rest of the software, and non-intuitive as well. For the short time I diddled with the software, I didn't find the software sluggish on an ...

I'd cut Listerene some slack as well. It can be extremely frustrating for Windows users to read about all the great Mac software they can't use. I'm sure Literature & Latte does know where the money i...

I second that emotion.
Literature & Latte seems pretty solid, but whenever I read on this forum about a Mac-only developer going out of business, or being "forced" to rely on a subscription model to ...
Mac only, so ... not that useful to many (probably most) programmers.
Here's a similar product available for both Mac and Windows:

Any Windows users here ?
9/1/2017
Windows only. I confess that I've lost some interest in the forum lately because the discussion has become dominated by Mac users talking about software I'd love to use, but can't.
It's a shame that ...
ConnectedText - moribund?
2/25/2017
I don't often need support, but when I do, the developer of a commercial product gives it, without fail. Maybe I've just been lucky.
It's amazing to think that a developer would take money (subscript...

If Eduardo is charging for his product - which he is - then he has a commitment to support the people who have paid for it, and at a minimum I believe such support entails replying to emails and monit...
New unofficial workflowy app

For those unhappy with Workflowy - or at least its state of development - there's at least one clone:

Thanks. That's good to know. Sounds like you could write a novel in a single notebook, if you wanted to do such a thing.

I was also concerned about CintaNotes' limitations. The developer addressed the issue here:

Good for Instapaper. Let's wait and see how it turns out.
What are some of those successful projects? Knowing that might balance the initially negative impression of Wagbee. I sure do miss the days of ugly but information-rich websites for projects like thes...
