@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.
https://setapp.com
For $9.99 ...
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:

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
7/8/2017
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 ...
A little weekend project for anyone needing a geek fix: a macOS service from Brett Terpstra - "ExtraInfo"

I read that. He likes developers therefore the developer's pricing is reasonable.

I can vouch for that. InfoQube on a Windows 10 VM under Parallels is top notch.

NVIVO vs Devonthink
7/4/2017
Well, one difference is that NVIVO costs almost 8 times the top of the line edition of DEVONthink.
NVivo is structured mainly for qualitative data analysis, or QDA. It is useful as a research tool i...
