Outlinely 2.5 adds wiki-style links
11/25/2016
The new version (2.5) also added "Search & Navigate" -- a "dialog [that] allows you to search for any topic in your outline. All topics with matched words will be rendered along with its parents topic...
Also reminds me of VUE and CmapTools
Interesting concept, documentation, video.. The beta itself is a bit rough. Teeeeeeeny tiny font sizes. Good start, though.

Windows vs. Mac plus Parallels

Well, it's pretty easy to configure keyboard shortcuts to assign key combos on the Mac to Windows keys -- I've configured ⌥I to trigger "Insert" in Windows. It's a one-time setting in the optio...
Windows vs. Mac plus Parallels
11/20/2016
Second question first. I run Windows on my Mac because (a) my clients use Outlook on Windows, and Outlook meeting invites (which I get dozens of each week) are completely incompatible with Mac's Cale...
Windows vs. Mac plus Parallels
11/18/2016
I run Windows 10 in Parallels 11 on my MacBook Air and have for 10+ hours, daily, for years. I usually have both OS's running side by side. It's great. Parallels makes the Mac apps and filesystem st...

"Brains" (databases) can be stored locally and optionally synced to their proprietary cloud service. "Thoughts" (nodes) can be private or public.

TheBrain 9 reaches its beta phase

I agree this product is ready to replace v8. I've mentioned before, I've used v9 since the first alpha release and it has come a long way in a relatively short period.
If you have issues or sugg...

Trunk Notes when edited on Mac via the server does odd things with markdown tables -- extra pipes in rows.

Whoa ... thanks for the tips about Trunk Notes. It's been sitting fallow on my iPad for a long time. You're right, Bill -- very cool features. I had never used the server. With that running, it's...

Bill wins the "how many posts in the shortest period of time award" LOL
On the Mac, DEVONthink has pretty good wiki-like linking between notes. Without using brackets. DEVONthink's lightweight cous...

The wikilinks using [[this syntax]] dates back to Notational Velocity, which is still available though not updated since it went open source in 2011:

v1.6.0 is available on the MAS too. Lots of "new" and "fixed" things in the release notes.
Ready for prime time? Regretfully the app keeps missing the mark for some reason. It's definitely being w...

Nottingham was an early clone of Notational Velocity (I think it might have preceded NVAlt). After a number of years in limbo, the app is back in development and Nottingham 3 is now released.

Bear review

This was an error -- the share extension is available on OS X. Apologies.
>Also, curiously, in my opinion, for a modern OS X app, Bear does not offer a share extension on OS X.

CloudKit is not "different from iCloud" -- CloudKit is Apple's framework for iCloud sync and collaboration. Apple Notes uses the CloudKit framework, for example. As you mentioned, Ulysses decided to...

It's pretty. Before I plunk down $15 annual for 7 other dark mode styles and PDF export I'd like to see some evidence that Bear has amazing features no one has ever done or done as well -- other than...

It's featured today in "New Apps We Love" on the iOS store.
Columns and filtering by columns
11/1/2016
I agree with the recommendation for Excel but for sophistication look at Neo and Tinderbox. I don't recall seeing column filtering in OmniOutliner, though.

Might be what Outlinely desktop calls a "distilled outline" -- when you click a tag you see only the lines with that tag plus the minimal amount of the hierarchy needed to see the context of that line...

Outline+ updates

For whatever it's worth -- I've noticed that Gorillized has been busy recently (since May 2016 at least) updating Outline with features that ease a transition away from CircusPonies. You'd need to l...
iThoughts version 4.0

iThoughts is worth every penny. It is the only software I own that has been in my Dock since v1. Many many features to recommend it. It is a note taker, a task manager, a project planner, a front...

Steve, I haven't seen any word on the release date for TB9 final. Since the preview process was very long, and the product is pretty stable (albeit needing some features, IMO), I'm guessing the bet...

Forgot to mention. No JAVA!
Also, however, no calendar integration -- a major heartburn for many testers.
