Manuscripts 1.0
11/15/2015
Thank you for pointing this out. It's a purpose-built editor that might be useful for writing papers with illustrations, formulae and citations. Some features seem unncessarily complicated -- e.g., ...
TaskPaper 3?
11/14/2015
Don't get ripped off. The purchase page does not mention it requires El Capitan. Just tossed $9.99 down the drain and will have to go hassle with Paddle to get the funds back.

TaskCard appears
11/14/2015
I used TaskCard for a while and put it aside. It has several bugs and some odd quirks that are inconsistent with "standard" OS X app behavior. The biggest is that the red stoplight button deletes ca...
A quick update on OutlineEdit
11/13/2015
Thank you, Robin. It's generous of you to post an update on your plans. Good work takes time -- great software takes even longer ;-)
Outlines Outloud
11/11/2015
I was curious about this and delved into the accessibilty settings in iOS 9 and found that the Speech settings in Accessibility are better than the Outline Outloud app, and don't require messing aroun...
Outlines Outloud

This iPhone app reads OPML outlines outloud. That's all.

The voice is OK. There are very few options, but speech rate can be adjusted. Can skip forward/backward and...
Curio 10 now available
11/9/2015
I've been testing Curio 10 (and Curiota) in beta for several months and I'm really enjoying it. George is a great developer to work with -- he is responsive and patient and is very interested in what...
Looks like this is in beta and not publically available?
This and the other one you posted today -- GraphiTabs -- interesting. I'm don't normally have "hundreds of tabs" open in a browser. I'd be ...
"My Tool" (named) - visual thinking tool based on Deepamehta but much simpler with web export
11/8/2015
Interesting. Reminds me of Cmap or VUE.

I reach this stage periodically -- a machine reaches end of life or dies, I've known that's coming so I've been migrating my work to a new machine but only bringing along the software that was needed ...
Hello, also
11/7/2015
Sidekick 1.0 for DOS loaded from a 5 1/4" floppy disk, running on the same machine as VisiCalc and WordStar. I think I got more work done on that IBM machine with the green on black monitor than jus...
Awesome Note lives again!

Alfons Schmidt's Notebooks (OS X and iOS versions) have been discussed here frequently:

Changes re: Circus Ponies NoteBook
11/4/2015
I recall that CPN often had difficult times with the iOS app. It's seems to be a major challenge to pair an iOS app with a successful desktop app -- many devs have not succeeded. Got to be a very ex...
Has Smartdown died?

Wasn't there a Mac App Store update in April 2015?

"Automatic indexing of all sites you visit" -- interesting, but I didn't see a way to turn this off other than turning on privacy mode. Most sites I visit are not interesting enough to save, so I wo...
Notebooks on IOS gets side-by-side documents
10/25/2015
Bill, I'm shocked. I was hoping you'd be the early adopter who would tell the rest of us the good and the bad?
I notice that the iPad Pro in it's most tricked-out configuration is about 10-15% hig...

SmartDown for Mac
10/22/2015
In my opinion SmartDown is worth $9.99 but not $19.99. It has folding and does tables but does not have an iOS app. IAWriter does not do folding or tables but has a companion iOS app. The iOS bit i...

Folding Text always seemed like a one-man skunk works effort. I was shocked to see that there was an update in the App Store today -- I had given up FT for dead years ago.

Office 2016
10/13/2015
@Bill -- your advice about ripping out Office and starting over seems to have worked. The slow responsiveness of Office 2016 on OS X is not happening. (Yet. There's always a "yet" with Microsoft.)

Office 2016
10/12/2015
Thanks Bill.
I'm hoping this will fix the problem I've encounted in Office 2016 -- especially Word and Excel -- of the response to keyboard input becoming excruciatingly slow.
LOL -- kind of a "save-the-topic" approach to forums, similar to those odd "save-the-date" announcements for weddings
