Craft (craft.do) has a very good web app that is almost 100% consistent with its Mac and Windows versions, as well as its mobile versions. Moving being web and non-web is a seamless experience, IMO.

MarginNote 4 is now available
5/19/2024
I see no PDF export options in MN4 except the flattened file, and an export package (a type of Apple folder) for backup purposes.

I found a link inside MN4 to a demo resource for this version.

Don’t bother looking for info on MN4 on their website. The site hasn’t be updated yet.
MarginNote 4 is now available

After years and years of delays and promises, MarginNote 4 is now available. Pricing structure is a mess, but for $49.99 U.S. it is available as a “Max” version — meaning it can be...
Outliners indexing external links

I would add MarginNote to the list. (Mac and Apple mobile platforms, only.)
MarginNote can index, in its internal library, any number of PDF, ePUB or other documents. The library can be searched ...
Preferred data/attributes in OPML files
4/16/2024
Robin, OPML is the most non-standard standard around. For interoperability, which I looks like you're going for, I suggest starting with sticking close to Dave Winer's original spec:

Splitting Items

Maurice, actually Zavala on macOS uses shift-option-return for Split, not shift-cmd-return. And works nicely.
Split, moving the split text to a new row, using the same keyboard shortcut as Zavala (...
LiquidText is very nice on devices with input devices like Pencil or the like. On keyboard-only devices it's a PITA. It's also become pricey -- $175/year for a subscription. The subscription isn'...

Interesting. In my instance of Mellel 5 the price is shown as $49.95 -- probably some A/B testing of price sensitivity. Doesn't matter. I like Mellel, and as...

$49.95 upgrade. Seems steep, especially since very good free options exist.

Interesting move out of the virtual world, deep into the past.
Southbeach Modeler v4

After what seems like a very long time, Southbeach Modeller (sic) has a new release -- version 4. Notes here:

Windows-only, Southbeach is a sort of "Tinderbox for Windows...
Sam Altman unexpectedly has lots of free time. Maybe he would help out.
A critique of tagging
11/7/2023
The developer of DEVONthink is fond of telling users "tags are groups" (i.e., folders). In most implementations of tags, they really are.

I think a number of the tools-for-thought / productivity gurus have been around long enough that their game of changing their advice, or repackaging it under new names and new courses, has gone well p...
1 Diagramming software like Scapple, but with notes connectable to multiple parts of the map?
11/5/2023
I often create these sorts of documents. Usually I see them called "concept maps", but other terminology pops up. I can think of several applications that will do this for you, including:

Another fan of the local graph, here. I've recently hyped the local graph's value by including in my daily note template links to the notes for "this day a year ago" and "this day two years ago". By...
I enjoy the spark of a new idea or insight. It happens a lot. But, not because of any computer or software. It's reading, talking to interesting people, day dreaming, and taking long walks that wo...
Bike is now on Setapp

A Setapp subscription on macOS now includes Bike. Nice.
Yes, for me, and I think also for others.

I'm afraid my toys would be saddened if I picked just one as the fun one. So there's three that I play with even when I have nothing important to do: Curio, Obsidian and TheBrain.
Curio, because ...
Yesterday I asked Bard for a photo of upper 5th Avenue (NY) as it was in 1920. It replied "Here's a photo of upper 5th Avenue in 1920". It was a photo of Pasadena from this summer.
