@MotionTwelve, interesting list
"information manager" -- a post-it note and pencil combo is an "information manager". What specific tasks are you looking to do? Research? Project management? Writ...
These are good essays. I'm not sure how many there are -- one of the articles mentions it is the seventh in the series -- or if the series is completed.
liquidtext in beta

This is really interesting. Thank you for posting.
A number of years ago Nate Matias (now at MIT) developed a stretchtext capability as a sort of bolt-on for the then-current version of Tinderbox on...

MagicalPad for OS X is available
10/3/2014
New versions of MagicalPad for iOS and OS X were released today. "Automatic sync" is the headline feature. Be careful. In a test notebook I was unable to get the full content of a page created on t...

Thank you for pursuing that, and the update. So it seems that the the data are encrypted (weak method) in movement but not at rest.

Interesting concept, thank you for the tip. The site mentions nothing about encryption and privacy -- or if the data goes through their servers. Perhaps its in the tutorial video.

Annotations for Mac
9/15/2014
Sorry ... just noticed the blurb on the home page: "Add any text or Microsoft® Word document to your project. "
Would think, though, that "annotation" frequently applies to PDF.

"help researchers annotate documents"
Annotate what type of document? Does not recognize PDFs. Help doesn't explain either.
"designing a personal knowledgebase"
9/6/2014
Same here ... reading Alex's essay I kept thinking "ConnectedText". I know he says "Wikipedia works well because the effort is crowdsourced. But I’m just one person, and so I can’t spend ...

DEVONthink's user forum is a broad and deep resource for all experience levels, and the support staff is very friendly and helpful.

An item can belong to as many groups within the same database as you wish. "Replicate" the document or "Replicate" a group -- ⌘L (command-L), and move the replicants where you wish. Or, select...

DEVONthink does not have a clipper that works in Opera -- but there are bookmarklets available that do most of the heavy lifting and will work in most browsers:

DEVONthink has a built-in Evernote import command. The notes are imported as "formatted notes" -- which are basically HTML.
Alternative methods are available with third-party scripts -- for examp...
Collecting web pages 2.0

If your goal is to import web pages as webarchives, convert on the fly to PDF, organize your collection (perhaps with tags, labels, and so forth), search your collection, and take notes -- then perhap...
Totally off-topic
8/29/2014
Generally, I agree. There are exceptions: my MacBook Air is quiet, except when Parallels (the app that manages my Windows 8 VM) heads off on one of its mysterious fugues, and cranks up the CPU to 110...
Notability is now available for the Mac
8/28/2014
I've always enjoyed Notability and keep it on my iPad's first page because it is a pleasant app to work with. It has a good basic feature set -- or good enough for me for note taking. The new desktop...
Scribbleton - minimalist "wiki"
8/25/2014
Scribbleton. A donation-ware minimalist "wiki"-like app available on Linux, Windows, OS X. Exports to text or HTML, though IMO neither export is very useful. Text export makes a plain-text file &#...

Managed to finally arrange for an account. The app (Mac App Store version) has barely any features. Type text; headings; bullets; links between documents but not hyperlinks. No export, save, or pri...

Must be some limit on new accounts -- I've attempted several times for days, with different email accounts, to get a login. The verification email never comes. There appears to be no way to test t...
