Sorry to see it go --
"gone to that great Alphabet company" -- a joke, or did Alphabet buy it, or have the devs hired on with Google's parent?

Ulysses progress
1/3/2016
In fairness, I'd like to be quoted for what I actually wrote in the other thread -- which was generally about my satisfaction with Ulysses as is:
"I think Ulysses has plateaued—in a graceful wa...
Oh, sorry -- my comment on DEVONthink 3 was more aspirational than concrete -- though enticing hints are dropped here and there in the forum.
For 2015, I'm pleased with how Curio and iThoughts (all platforms) continue to mature and I anticipate continuing evolution of new features for them.
I think Ulysses has plateaued -- in a graceful wa...
Yet another Markdown editor...
1/1/2016
Not sure when this one arrived :
"Dillinger is a cloud-enabled, mobile-ready, offline-storage, AngularJS powered HTML5 Markdown editor."

Installable on Linux, OS X, (Windows?)
MarginNote for OS X is available
12/31/2015
I've been using MarginNote and LiquidText and can point out a few differences:
MarginNote has an OS X version, LiquidText does not. I think a LiquidText version on a desktop or laptop would be quite...
Quiver for Mac reaches version 3
12/30/2015
Quiver's GitHub page says that there will be an iOS version of Quiver available for beta testing "in early January". There's a signup link on that page:

MarginNote for OS X is available
12/28/2015
MarginNote for iOS is PDF annotation app + mind mapper + outliner. This is more like three different views of your notes. It's an interesting product for annotating PDFs and taking notes. The anno...
TheBrain 9 -- First Look Preview
12/28/2015
I believe the sign in is because the alpha preview is limited to "active services subscriptions" according to their site. Sync can be turned off for individual brains, and the data are stored locall...
TheBrain 9 -- First Look Preview
12/26/2015
I erroneously wrote that "Report" was not yet in the preview -- it is.
Steve -- I've used the preview for a couple of days and find it to be generally stable on OS X. There are many options not pres...
TheBrain 9 -- First Look Preview
12/25/2015
Initial impressions
Java is gone. The UI on OS X is Cocoa-like but it does not seem to be using Apple's design kits. Interface is crisp and modern.
The preview is lacking some features (search is ...
TheBrain 9 -- First Look Preview
12/25/2015
TheBrain company has posted a first look preview of the next release -- version 9. The preview is available for active subscribers -- explained here:

Look interesting, but odd. I don't want markdown-aware apps that have special syntax or logic built on idiosyncratic interpretations of standard typography, because that merely creates lock-in and ma...
MarginNote
12/17/2015
LiquidText is nice, but it does not have the export features that I like in MarginNote -- export to .mmap or OmniOutliner or Evernote. I think getting notes of out LiquidText could use a rethink by t...
MarginNote
12/17/2015
I've been looking for a solution for annotation and organizing annotations and notes in a graphical ("mind map") manner. I can do it with Curio but it's a lot of drag and drop and there's no link bet...
MarginNote
12/17/2015
MarginNote Pro has been making steady advances on the iOS side since I originally mentioned it here. Version 2 is excellent.
Now I understand on good authority that there will very soon be an OS X v...
Very good article -- thought provoking.

List of productivity methods
12/11/2015
That is a very useful article. Thank you for mentioning it.
I've always preferred to wander back and forth among many of the methods mentioned by Elliker -- driven mainly by the characteristics of ...
Relational databases
12/11/2015
That's interesting, Bill. I look forward to hearing more.
The documentation discusses importing CSV and Bento. (Who in the world still has actively-managed Bento databases?). Not import from nat...
That's an interesting approach. I have no outliners to suggest -- although various Sublime text outlining plugins might offer possibilities.
Have you considered using various color highlightings as ...
New version of StickyBrain
11/29/2015
Antnotes brings it home for $0.99 or Ghostnotes $9.99 but the extra $9 isn't worth it, IMO

New version of StickyBrain

Looks interesting, Bill.
$29.99 is steep.
Quiver for Mac reaches version 3
11/18/2015
The really cool possibility, I think, is "composing" graphical notes -- add some TextExpander snippets and away we go. This is a lot easier than using Tinderbox maps, and about 15x cheaper.
If Quive...

I noticed the screenshot of my sequence diagram example was not posted. Let's try this link:

Quiver for Mac reaches version 3
11/17/2015
Another major release of Quiver ("the programmer's notebook") appeared in the Mac App Store today -- version 3. Quiver's combines various "cells" into a single note: text, code (with syntax highighti...
