NotePlan iOS
8/18/2017
I've had Drafts on my iPad dock for years. I demoted it today and replaced it with NotePlan in the Dock. First, because Drafts is great but aged and cranky. Second, because NotePlan is far better...
I'm sure it's not intended, but slipping phrases such as "lost cause" and "slave" into a post can be construed as offensive for some, especially for those awake in the current climate in the U.S. So...
Just to mention it -- on your criteria "Transparent file storage in Finder (library in Documents folder)" vis-à-vis DEVONthink Sorter. A folder that is indexed in DEVONthink can be added to the...
Thanks!
Well. It's basic all right.
Cannot seem to get the cursor into the text area so I can type -- in the Mac version and the web version.

@slartibartfest I don't have an issue with renting software, or SaaS, or whatever one wants to call the model. I rent lots of software. Essentially, upgrades are rents -- merely paid infrequently....
There is no $20 (the supposed 50% for existing customers) because they spoofed the numbers. The 50% discount applies to the *monthly* fee -- so in-app the purchase screen says $2.50/month (roughly 5...
There's a "bundled" subscription program that started earlier this year (I think) -- I hardly ever see this mentioned anywhere, which makes me wonder if anyone uses it.

I wonder if not having upgrade pricing in the App Store is a red herring. Subscriptions are not a substitute for upgrades -- subscriptions are developers opting for a steady income stream in lieu of...
I agree.
Subscriptions are the model in areas where there is a large, expanding, and changing content. Think streaming services. Things that are "consumed". Subscribing to software makes little ...
Interesting. They changed the price since the post first went up around midnight.

Ulysses announced today it was switching to an all-subscription model

For new customers the fee is $60/year -- for existing (a...
I have several of AppleScripts of my own making to get info back and forth from/to Tinderbox and/or DEVONthink. Unfortunately TheBrain 9 broke everything. I've waited for a stable release to fix th...
Announcement in its forum from TheBrain staff:
"Things are going so well that we decided to make TheBrain 9 Beta the download of choice for all users."

NoteCase Pro v. 4.3.1 released
8/8/2017
Is there an iOS version on the horizon? I've always hesitated from purchasing NoteCase because it is not "cross-platform" in the Apple universe.
Aquaminds NoteTaker 4?
8/2/2017
It's good news. NoteTaker is a good product that I've avoided for almost five years due to the lack of attention. Perhaps someone bought the company?
Interesting that they would spend time investi...
The Windows 10 version *does* support handwriting -- it doesn't support converting handwriting to text.
Many of the features of OneNote Windows 10 version are MS's attempts to be competitive with iOS...
MuBu 幕布 Outliner
7/25/2017
I like mind mapping, but I don't see why I would use this implementation. The UI is too jiggly -- like working with a bowl of gelatin. More substantive -- there's no context to the nodes, no tag or...

Michael Tsai (SpamSieve) has an short thread regarding subscriptions on his blog.

CRIMPers = prospective time multipliers?
7/13/2017
The longer I take breath, the more my conviction grows that terms like "responsibility", "self reliance", "willpower", "grit", "determination" do not describe behaviors that can be learned and improve...
Appreciate the info. I signed up with Dynalist and set my Outlinely subscription to cancel when the paid-up period ends. I like the integration with Google calendar -- even though it's not (yet?) ...

Barvas seems similar to Concept Draw's suite -- desktop apps with cross-app integration: Concept Draw MindMap, Draw, and Project -- and online Concept Draw Plan team collaboration. Good products -- ...
NVIVO vs Devonthink

Curio can tag whole "figures" (text boxes, images, shapes) -- but not bits of figures -- words in text, etc. QDA apps specialize in tagging the bits -- a level of detail not common outside dedicated ...
