liquidtext in beta

Shouldn't have been quick to say web imports are "no ads" -- it's more the case that the imports are "sometimes no ads".
liquidtext in beta

My application came up on the beta list today, so I've been trying out LiquidText. Very impressive.
I very much like the abiltiy to send a web page from Safari to LiquidText using the Safari exten...

Thanks for the tip.
The interface is a bit disorienting -- though that might be the point of it. Over here, with Safari on a Mac, the site quickly consumed a lot of CPU resources. I haven't diagnos...

OK. Interesting approach. Though, I didn't suggest Berlin is the gospel, he's just yet another guy ...

There are plenty of solutions for capturing lots of notes. The tricky part is finding relationships among those notes. On the one hand, techniques like tagging can help -- especially with those note...

You might be thinking of a Zettelkasten.
You could read Manfred Kuehn's discussion of Zettelkastens at

I don't read the Hello, Peek and Blackberry announcements on the blog as anything more than ordinary culling of little-used features, combining older features with new products, and eliminating suppor...
What is Tinderbox? Interesting summary
1/22/2015
Thanks Steve. I've read that new how-to from Eastgate. It is very interesting and helpful. Because it is a detailed step-wise walk-through for creating a complicated document, it is worth spending ...

If I could delete my opinions I would. This forum doesn't support that. So, I'll just shutup.
What is Tinderbox? Interesting summary
1/20/2015
Maybe a small industry?
Tinderbox is sui generis -- there's not much out there that supports unconstrained making of metadata for each note. The only thing close in OS X computerland I can think o...

Having now had some time to spend working with Keep Everything, I don't think I would use it. The markdown is nice and crisp; the style options adequate. Converting web pages to "articles" (the in-...
Fundamental shifts of position

LOL - my first laptop had a black-and-white screen and 20 MB (yes, MB) of disk space. I spent half my time scraping bits off it, defragging (who does that anymore?), and putting stuff on floppies. ...

Never one to pass up a good CRIMP, I've downloaded Keep Everything (lite) to check it over this weekend.
I guess I have a different idea of "Everything" -- web pages, tweets, etc., are very little o...

I wonder what "safe" means? The home page blurb refers to "Make safe your data with one of the available encryption algorithms. You can save your data also without cryptography, if you plan to share ...

I use Dictate + Connect on my iPhone -- there's also an Android version.

That's inappropriate -- I believe this forum isn't a place for trolling. I enjoy Stephen Z's blog and have learned many useful things over the years, including his post above.

That's an interesting market.
