Nosleep Software (love that name) recently updated its graphical/outliner Idea Sketch and renamed it Idea Flip. This app has been mentioned here a few times before

article - Google Keep vs. Evernote vs. other notetaking tools? | ITworld - http://bit.ly/1NBOQYe

Interesting comment -- thanks, @jimspoon.
The point she makes about "Google app[s] that could be pulled suddenly" is a good caution. Does Google Keep have "notebooks" or "collections" -- or perhaps ...

the perfect markdown editor

Bill, thanks for the notice about TextNut. I've already grabbed the trial.
@jaslar -- I would add support for tables (probably based on the "standard" multimarkdown table syntax). Granted, the syn...
Overcoming Overload?

Bill -- the first thing is wow -- how incredibly generous for you to take the time to write up your method. I am very grateful. I'm sure others will enjoy the article, too.
I'll be spending some ti...

If "OmniOutliner is not primarily an outliner at all", then what is a canonical outliner?

"How do you do that, Bill" --> meaning, how do you use Ulysses for task management.

I'm glad, Ken, you feel like there's a bit of relief. Please persevere!

MindMeister is an on-line mind mapper, and it now has a task-tracker cousin. Kanban-ish.

I don't know about the tags bit (I don't use tags) but for hierarchy groups this method works for me in the iCloud section of the Library.

Gabe Weatherhead's Macdrifter blog contains an interesting, detailed guide to his "a simple and multi-platform method of creating rich text notes using Markdown. A long read but worth it, I believe. ...
Overcoming Overload?

It's called "Crew Resource Management" (CRM) and is a technique developed after several serious accidents. (Witn advice from NASA, CRM grew out of situations at UAL, a former employer of mine.) Hosp...

Works well with parchment scrolls, quill pens, and inkpots -- in your personal scriptorium. ;-)
Some usual suspects and some new suggestions, too. Good fodder for weekend CRIMPing -- thanks for posting this.
Clip to OneNote gets enhancements
3/12/2015
Microsoft recently updated the Clip to OneOne web clipper with a couple of nice features: choose the destination notebook for the clipping, and "clip article" -- which is a simplified "Readability"-li...

I'm sure I'll have more positive reactions, but my first impressions of the desktop and iPad version is "ho hum". I don't understand the obsession with making every Yosemite app look like every other...
The Soulmen have announced that Ulysses for iPad (19,99E) and the companion upgrade for OS X (free) will both be release on March 12.

When the dust has settled, your work is finished, and you have done what you do, it would be helpful if you could return here and let us know what approach you chose and what you learned from a tools ...
Not built-in, AFAIK. The Hit List has a pretty good AppleScript dictionary and a script to export the items with notes doesn't look difficult. There are few similar scripts that Google knows about t...
I like Mr. Picky's, er, Bill's ideas. Not sure how that gets translated into an actual tool -- or maybe it's a workflow involving multiple tools. I am constantly juggling 3 or four sources at a time...
Thank you for the tip. Print Edit looks like a good option.
Another option is Print Friendly (http://printfriendly.com), which is cross-platform.
Not only these two, but there's a busy subgenre o...
I couldn't agree more. I enjoy my notebooks, my pens and pencils. I enjoy notetaking on paper more than anywhere else. As much as I enjoy CRIMPing and the software I've recommended in this thread ...

It is interesting that Windows users often ask why such-and-such app on OS X hasn't been ported to Windows. I don't recall often coming across the opposite question, why this-or-that Windows app hasn...
It looks interesting, however the last Change History notation on the beta is a year ago. The Chrome extension was last updated in late 2013. I wonder why updates stopped and the app never came out ...
