Tinderbox 8 is released
4/14/2019
Possible, but since perceived value depends on one's personal utility curve and it is hard to judge that for complex software without hands on experience, I would personally reserve judgment about "ri...
RIP Tony Buzan
4/14/2019
Buzan was so enthusiastic and fun to watch and listen to. Sad that he's gone.

Hyperbolic view is a case of this sort of graph
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_tree
I believe it still somewhat experimental, meaning users will have cases that might not work well in hype...

I've read the same book you have. All three editions. It explains common uses for Tinderbox. It is not a manual; no one said it was.

The Tinderbox Weekends were good -- I never was able to attend one nearby, but I own all the materials produced with them. I don't know why they stopped -- I would guess diminished interest from part...

Mark Bernstein has written several editions of his book, A Tinderbox Way, to help users work through common approaches to using Tinderbox. Over the past 18 years the Tinderbox forum has been an acti...
Tinderbox 8 is released

Tinderbox is a tool room full of interesting, sometimes complex tools. Just as one wouldn't walk into a woodworkers shop, look at the tools, and ask "why", I think "why" is not the question to ask Ti...
One outliner for Mac, iPad, and iPhone
4/10/2019
I think Outline has outlived its usefulness. It seemed to start life as a OneNote viewer when OneNote was not available on Mac.
I agree with the Reddit answer. There’s a strong dose of unhealthy self-regard in a lot of the “productivity” forums, books, podcasts, and so on. When I see folks writing about the...
There's a beta out for Agenda 5.2 that is said to include importing Evernote .enex files into Agenda. Haven't tried it yet.
@smalldog, your example is the useful case for "context".
I was referring to "context" in the Getting Things Done sense for task tracking -- a sense that I have probably bastardized, something I sus...
The concept of "contexts" always befuddles me. It feels artificial. "Oh, look, I'm in the garden. Let me look at my list to see what I can do now." I know the GTD theory is "out of mind until yo...
Excellent resources, @moritz.
Thank you for sharing.
Nimbus Notes Redux
4/7/2019
In installed the app from the App Store, and registered an account. (Apps that require registration before use are somewhat annoying.)
In the app, I clicked on the icon for information about Nimbus...
I would not want to see Evernote die.
But, on the other hand, I've never had a case where a developer, without warning, vanished or went out of business and their app simultaneously and immediately s...
Interesting piece. That screen shot of an early (first?) edition of Evernote on Windows was a hoot. Using a handwriting font to make it look like Evernote 1.0 supported handwriting. So retro.
Curio 13 has been released
4/2/2019
The new major releases (11, 12, 13 ...) always contain new features. IMO the new features are well beyond the sort of tweaky eye candy that some developers call "new releases" and charge for. And, ...

Curio version 13 has been released.

I've been using the betas, and feel George has added several very interesting changes. There is a full set of release notes at the link,...
Dynalist MindMap View
4/2/2019
It's an interesting view. Though, other than showing parents and children, it does nothing. On my laptop the view is hypersensitive to gestures on the trackpad -- the zooming in and out makes me s...
The Case for Using a Paper Planner
4/1/2019
Thoughts are best when not-articulated, since articulation of any sort collapses understanding to grasping or i-making. Something not worth freezing for examination later.
Nick, thank you for taking the initiative to build Contexted. It looks nice. I don't want to try it, however.
The first thing I look for in any web app is the privacy policy and information about ...
The Case for Using a Paper Planner
3/29/2019
Nice info @jasler -- I enjoy my Traveler's notebook a lot. And my micro index cards.
Good thoughts, @thought -- thanks for that.
Back in the pre-smart anything days, a Day Timer was the premium pa...

A release candidate of HoudahSpot 5 is available.

This is a beta that requires a license beyond the trial period. HoudahSpot is a great tool for finding wha...
Drafts for macOS beta
3/26/2019
Thank you for the update, Lucas.
I like Drafts 5, and I already have $19.99/year Pro because I use the pro features on iOS -- the subscription covers iOS and macOS. I am not holding my breath to se...
OmniOutliner as a Daily Jounal
3/25/2019
Thank you @drewster -- interesting post on your blog. I frequently use OO5 for capturing notes on iOS (with columns for metadata) that I want to import to Tinderbox. Your journaling idea would com...
