TheBrain vs Evernote vs Personal Wiki
9/30/2018
I've used TheBrain on Windows and OS X/macOS for 13 years. Yes, very satisfied.

TheBrain vs Evernote vs Personal Wiki
9/29/2018
When that is my goal I use TheBrain. TheBrain excels at emergent structure -- a topic worth exploring as you prepare your approach to this.
A personal wiki might eventually surpass TheBrain's use...
MarginNote 3 on the way
9/29/2018
Looks like MarginNote 3 for macOS will soon be available. This week there was an update to MN 2 for macOS on the Mac AppStore, whose sole purpose was to enable in-app upgrades to MN 3. I use MN 3 o...
Blurt
9/28/2018
Blur as you type? I have a hard enough time typing as I type, let alone not seeing what I doing. Seems masochistic to pay about $120/year for the aggravation. :-)

Processes not tools

I don't pretend to understand 22111's posting -- but this caught my eye. While looking back over the decades I would have liked to have preserved the "core data for [my professional and personal] de...
TheBrain v10 Beta is Available
9/27/2018
Starting a new thread since the last thread related to the v10 Alpha
v10 Beta is now available. Major changes: "BrainBox" -- collecting web clips and attachments. Also new export features: text ...
The Tinderbox Way 3rd Edition released
9/26/2018
Only if you use Tinderbox a lot and are interested in getting more out of it, is it a good read. Otherwise, you'll learn more on the Eastgate forum or by using Mark Anderson's aTbRef website -- for ...
Processes not tools
9/25/2018
That's an admirable objective. The mania of "productivity" and "organization" seems to be a very twenty-teens preoccupation and perhaps motivates a lot of the software industry (other than games and...
I think most of those features (all?) are still there in the new App Store for Mojave. In the right sidebar there's a choice of broad categories, and under the "Categories" see "Productivity". Or w...

Firstly, welcome out from the woodwork. Glad you decided to post your thoughts.
I can't say I agree with it all (or any of it) but it's an interesting point of view. Even though you have a mainst...
It's nice to see a report like this when someone reaches the end of the quest and takes the time to post info about the hows and whys of their decision.
Thanks for this -- may the CRIMP be with you :...
Teaser - Polywick Story Server
9/22/2018
I have no clue what the last few Polywick posts about telling us.
Is there ever going to be real software for someone to trial? Not API references; not screen shots or self-congratulatory Medium pos...
Evernote in trouble?
9/19/2018
225 million customers does not sound like a business on the edge of failure
The CEO's report does not contain dire news
>As I discussed in All-Hands, Evernote grew over 20% in the first half this ye...
So Numbers is now an outliner
9/18/2018
Hmmm, I don't think I'd call the feature "outlining". As pointed out, it's more like pivot tables in Excel, or Excel's filters. I've tried the feature in Numbers and you need to do a heck of a lot ...
Evernote in trouble?
9/13/2018
Zoho Notebook is a mess, I agree. It looks like a port of a iOS app (designed for children) to Mac. The instructions for importing notebooks from Evernote are iPad-oriented and wrong. Even after ...
Meant to write "if you do *not* understand JSON and do *not* understand how to transform..."
Jan S's suggestion of org mode is a good example of future proofing -- because it has a long history of having been future proof. It endures.
The key to future proofing your data store is to
1) M...
Tinderbox as a task manager?
9/11/2018
Yes the menus in DropTask need work. If you are in My Planner view (the Kanban-like view), go to the menu and click the name of the project you want to work on. That will give you access to the Canva...
Tinderbox as a task manager?
9/10/2018
Long-time Tinderbox user here. I do not enjoy using Tinderbox as a "task manager" -- as the place where I collect, organize, edit, and schedule tasks. Tinderbox in this case case is a sink -- we ca...
Very interesting thread, Andy. Thank you for posting it.
A lot to absorb.
I habitually organize work documents hierarchically with descriptive names. Very old school, but decades of work files a...
Evernote in trouble?
9/5/2018
Hah! So true. It is among those companies that seem to be a bad press magnet.

TheBrain v10 Alpha is available
9/4/2018
No doubt I will be be slapped up the side of the head for mentioning this, just hoping to rescue the topic of the this thread before it was hijacked. But a quick Google search for "Office 2010 telep...
Inspiration Maps for the iPad
9/1/2018
After what seems like a very long hiatus the folks at Inspiration released version 3 for iOS. Free for existing owners. A few nice tweaks. This app has always looked better on iOS than other OS. T...
@Andy Brice -- nice thought, but Hyperplan doesn't really work well for me with note taking and content or context mapping. It doesn't fit into the category of software discussed in this thread. J...
TheBrain v10 Alpha is available
8/28/2018
Not that it matters -- and developer's choice of version numbers is entirely idiosyncratic -- but the beta process for v9 was very long -- staring 10/2016 and ending about 18 months later. TheBrain ...
