CRIMPing alert: new app looks fascinating!
12/22/2017
I agree, it is a pretty nifty. It's basically a redo of Eduard Metzger's NotePlan, which Eduard has written about many times on this forum. So far, Agenda adds nothing significant to NotePlan's fe...
Tap Forms on Sale
12/20/2017
Tap Forms can import Bento templates and data. It's been a while since I've done that, but I think this takes three steps. Import the template then export the data from Bento then import the data t...
Tap Forms on Sale
12/20/2017
I agree Tap Forms is very good. I use it as a data collector for Tinderbox -- because of the iOS flavor -- and export from Tab Forms to Tinderbox via CSV.
Of interest is that Bento, Apple's lightw...
Tap Forms on Sale
12/19/2017
Tap Forms, a database / organizer with customizable fields, is on sale this week on the Map App Store for the macOS version, and the App Store for its iOS companion. 40% off on the macOS version. ...
I had the same (pleasant) experience with MindNode -- but I think it's due to some spoofing they managed to pull off. I don't believe the App Store actually supports "upgrades" across the board, but...
Personal Wiki Updates
12/15/2017
Bear's autocomplete is very nice and seems to be well thought-out. It's not just "autocomplete", it's also "auto create". If you start typing the name for note that does not exist yet
[[A note th...
Tagging advice for DEVONThink
12/14/2017
Normally, the contents of tag folders are replicants (DEVONthink's equivalent of aliases, but not at all the same thing). So deleting a tag doesn't destroy your document, it just removes the replica...
Tagging advice for DEVONThink
12/14/2017
DEVONthink uses an unusually metaphor for tags -- "tags are groups" -- that a lot of users have a hard time getting comfortable with.
I think it's best to set a database to "exclude groups from ta...
VoodooPad showing signs of life
12/14/2017
Well, of course none of use commenters have or will ever see the code, but I think that's an odd conclusion to reach.
The fact that the code has survived multiple OS X / macOS updates that have bee...
VoodooPad showing signs of life
12/14/2017
This could be good news, though the second time a new owner of VoodooPad promised change. We can hope for the best and contact Primate Labs with ideas as @mprazoff suggested.
The good news is that ...
Has crowdfunded development ever worked?
12/14/2017
I didn't receive the software described on that page and that I paid $150 to support. I did not receive what I was promised on that web page. I, and everyone else, who signed up for that campaign wa...
Has crowdfunded development ever worked?
12/14/2017
No, I'm afraid in the case of MailMate it is not "just numbers". They ran an Indigogo campaign in 2013, raised a good chunk of change, and made specific promises about features in "MailMate 2.0" and...
Has crowdfunded development ever worked?
12/13/2017
I saw today a release notice for MailMate 1.10 and was reminded of the crowdfunding campaign in 2013 or so, for MailMate 2.0 development, that never seemed to actually deliver a product -- though Mail...
Speare word processor
12/7/2017
Click the link I posted, scroll down to "Get the windows app for free", click "Get the App", register with a phony email address (they don't send any email so it doesn't matter). It took me a while ...
MindNode mind mapper reaches version 5
12/6/2017
I think you might need to sign into PayPal in Settings first. (Just guessing - I haven't used PayPal with the App Store yet.)

Speare word processor

Their privacy policy is vague about security and encryption. Bad policy.

Forum information

"Elitist"? Hardly. Sometimes the initial post from a new member gets missed. No doubt Chris will take care of things.

MindNode mind mapper reaches version 5
12/2/2017
Hmm, perhaps you're thinking of another app. The current version 5 does not require a single central node -- and going back several years I can see numerous maps with multiple "main" nodes. Anyway,...
MindNode mind mapper reaches version 5
12/1/2017
A new version of MindNode -- a handsome mind mapping application for Mac and iOS -- is available on the two App Stores.
https://mindnode.com
There's a few new features, but this is mainly a more pol...
Tell us about your book
11/30/2017
No books, but I write approximately 150,000 words/year for clients (IT strategy, mainly). So that's sort of counts as a couple or three books per year for the past few decades. All planned out in ...
So, is ConnectedText really dead now?

Sure, use the Contact page, form, or send Eduardo an email, all available here:

So, is ConnectedText really dead now?
11/29/2017
Any developer always prefers to be addressed directly -- in their own forum or support pages. And it is polite. For a single individual the whole effort to create and support software is more than ...
So, is ConnectedText really dead now?
11/29/2017
The website is up. The forum is available. There's nothing posted on the site about going out of business. The software works.

A tiny, barely noticeable feature in Scrivener 3 that told me this was thoughtfully crafted software: on macOS the icon on Scrivener 3 files now show the author's name and name of the manuscript in t...
is Scapple the best for "thinking on paper"
11/27/2017
Some possibilities for Windows are (in my order of preference):
Southbeach Modeller (Windows-only)
Insight Maker (web based)
ThinkComposer (Windows-only)
