CRIMPing alert: new app looks fascinating! 12/22/2017

The Agenda team wrote me to say "Beta refers to the fact that we're still in an (invite-only) test phase of the app, we do however believe the app is very close to 1.0 and that it's fair to start char...

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. ...

Well, well, well - Apple App Store DOES allow upgrades 12/18/2017

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.) Jeffery Smith wrote: Am I still the only one who gets an error message ...

Speare word processor 12/6/2017

Their privacy policy is vague about security and encryption. Bad policy. What appears to be a desktop version of the same app is available for download from the developers' site -- "Ribozum Author"...

"Elitist"? Hardly. Sometimes the initial post from a new member gets missed. No doubt Chris will take care of things. Lucine wrote: >I wouldn't be surprised if this was some elitist forum that doe...

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? 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
