I agree. Absolutely. DEVONthink is good but not essential.

What is "ugly" software?
7/12/2018
I'm somewhat on a different plane with regard to DEVONthink -- the UI is utilitarian but since I use have the app open and actively use it 8 - 10 hrs / day, I find the majority of those visible contro...
What is "ugly" software?
7/11/2018
I see comments here and there in this forum and -- sometimes mild, sometimes very stern -- in the vein "this software is so ugly I cannot / refuse / have a hard time using it".
I'm a sucker for nice ...

That's great news, Chris. And thank you for providing the forum, maintaining, and moderating it. It's a great asset for the community you've created,
The only suggestion is let me edit my stuff. ...

If there's fear of anyone tracking anything, then Little Snitch or similar is a good idea. Using Snitch, I've never noticed anything untoward about MJ.
I've used MacJournal steadily for over a deca...

Turns out we cannot search on "#" here. Oh well.

I use OO5 because I need the custom columns, and for things that need to be exported with styling (as mentioned by Steve -- very nice example he posted, by the way). Of course Word or Pages can do t...
Sorry, long topic title. I was thinking about which of my "favorite" outliner apps I would give up if something better came along. Unfortunately "favorite" doesn't necessarily mean good or great, ...

BTW, WiFi sync does not always work on mesh networks. I find it is more reliable to create a network on my laptop, connect the iPad to that network, and then sync MJ on both machines.

Entry templates are in my top 5 MacJournal goodies list. I use these for daybook entries and other categories.

Welcome to MacJournal, Bill. I agree with everything you wrote. Though I am still concerned that there seems to have been silence from Dan since 2 years ago. (Maybe he started a new blog some pl...
I'm not a fan of the "bucket app" idea. We all have a terrific "bucket app" by default -- the file system. I'd suggest the problem should be approached from the needs perspective -- what are your ...
Yes. Definitely wasn't a good idea to post a recommendation for something I like and use without first consulting those who know better. Now I know! Many thanks for setting me straight.
@satis is complete right, as usual. Drafts rules, of course.
Chris -- if you are following along, please delete this thread so more folks aren't mislead about Edit.
Then don't use it? Really, it's about simple. Sometimes that's appealing.

Dynalist gets an API
7/3/2018
It's a very minimalist API. Get a document. Post changes to a document. Send data to the Dynalist Inbox. Someone writing a native app would have to do all of the 98% of the rest of work involve...
Sure, all versions since v1.
But the point of Edit is it does only one thing. Which is all I need most of the time.

Peter, I definitely agree with Bill. And I like the Pro/Standard concept. From looking at screenshots and not the real deal, I definitely think you've designed a thoughtful, quite utile service.

That's on the high end of task apps -- Omnifocus Pro territory. Without an web or an iOS companion app, without sync, and especially without an iPhone presence I think it's a push.

Looks nice (sheetplanner.com).
What's the pricing scheme going to be? One-time license or subscription?

Visual Studio Code -- not just for development. Large library of extensions. Free. From Microsoft -- deep pockets and so not suffering from single-developer-itis.

Lucas, if you have an anonymized version you'd be willing to share as a template it would be interesting to see your approach.

I've attempted several times over the years to run ConnectedText in a CrossOver bottle. CrossOver is a hyped up, sort of pricey, version of wine. CT runs OK, but CT's user interface gets ugly when...
