Scrivener 3 is on the way…
11/28/2017
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"

Some possibilities for Windows are (in my order of preference):
Southbeach Modeller (Windows-only)
Insight Maker (web based)
ThinkComposer (Windows-only)

Any figure on a Curio map (they're called "idea spaces") can have text associated with it, which is added / edited in a "figure notes" panel. The figure notes panel is an always-on-top window so you...

Here's a "thinking with Curio" map I used to make myself step back and sort out my work planning processes.

A very nice mapping example, Steve. Thank you for creating and sharing.

Tinderbox maps can do everything Scapple maps do -- plus several dozen additional features not possible at all with Scapple.
Scapple's minimalist feature set is nice, but I would never consider it fo...
Gingko or Dynalist?

I write quite few process narratives for clients, which are generally done in Word and include embedded Visio flowcharts.

TheBrain 9 reaches its beta phase
11/21/2017
TheBrain yesterday issued an update to v9 (b231) that re-introduces two-way sync with Google Calendars.
This feature has been on vacation since TheBrain 8 and it's good to see it come back.

Along with Scrivener 3 (Mac) there is an updated v1.3 for Scapple (Mac) that has some minor UI tweaks and compatibility fixes for High Sierra.
Interesting one of the release changes is "A “Scap...

TheBrain 9 reaches its beta phase
11/19/2017
I believe TheBrain 9 is about as non-beta it can be while still be called a "Late Beta" by the company. It's the default download. If you go looking for TheBrain 8 you see "Although no longer suppo...
What is the oldest application you use?
11/10/2017
The application I've used longer than any is MS Word -- going back to the late 1980s with WinWord 1.0 on Windows 2. Although I preferred WordStar, which I used from the early 1980s (I think) but Wor...
New version of Tinderbox now available

A quicklook plugin that displays the Tinderbox document in a preview is feasible but challenging -- the document can have numerous tabs, folded hierarchies, thousands of notes: so the developer would ...
New version of Tinderbox now available
11/8/2017
I doubt you'll ever see that feature. Tinderbox "notes" are text inside XML files, conglomerated with lots of other text and coding -- there's no discrete "note" to search for.

It is also possible to "watch" a DEVONthink group (i.e., a folder) with a similar approach in 7.3.x. Be aware that the instructions for this in the release notes are a bit inaccurate.
Current state of iOS/macOS outliners

That's a good working definition -- and given that definition I'd suggest the universe of software discussed in this thread could expand to included "mind mapping". For me, that means iThoughtsX and...

OmniOutliner might appear "old fashioned" -- but it has features that many / most "outliners" do not have:

Workload tracking?

The best "secret sauce" in my opinion is the David Allen advice to have an inbox, record anything that comes to mind there, and forget it as soon as you've recorded it. There's lot's of ways to have...
