Notebooks as a Ulysses replacement
8/20/2017
Following this discussion, last week I installed Notebooks on my windows 10 machine. Tried to run it, but it was dead as a dodo. I wrote to support, and I'm still waiting for their response.
Resophnotes + Scrivener
5/16/2017
I've just discovered that Resophnotes is a perfect match for Scrivener.

Resoph Notes Replacements?
5/1/2017
I'm using both Resophnotes and Cintanotes (syncing with two different Simplenote accounts). Resophnotes can keep all your notes in separate txt files, which is quite a unique feature. Files can be acc...

Clipboard enhancers
7/22/2016
It depends what are your needs. I use clipboard enhancers only for text data, and Ethervane Echo works great for me. It's very fast, lightweight, and customizable.

New version of Em Client, IMO the best software of this kind, is out: http://www.emclient.com/. Among other improvements: the interface is better and emails can (at last) be ordered by thread.

Evernote raises prices
6/29/2016
Offline client is not available for the basic account. For me it's time to move to other software
I am a long time user of Smartdown. The new version works a little bit slower, but the new features are worth it.
With the new Library view, you can easily set up a great plaintext writing environme...

Notebooks public beta available

The Windows version is slow and buggy - it crashed at the moment I've tried to paste the first webpage. Pdf notes are created, but can't be opened. Images can't be resized. You can't drag and drop th...
Markdown vs WSYWYG
11/11/2014
SmartDown looks promising. It's light and aesthetically pleasing. The developer is very dedicated and responsive. I reported him some problems with diacritics and it was fixed within two days.
It looks nice and fast, but Resophnotes is still better (e.g. it offers Markdown).

askSam vs. Zoot? and vs. others

But can change the pre-defined keyboard shortcuts? As long as I remember, they collide with the diacritic key combinations"
askSam vs. Zoot? and vs. others
10/10/2013
For me, the most important limitation of Zoot is its lack of unicode support.
That's the advantage of the non-american developers (MyInfo, ConnectedText). They do understand, that for many users it'...
