Musings on tools for thought
5/11/2022
It's likely that more of what we consider the modern world came about because of people simply sitting with a piece of paper and a pencil and thinking.
Would Einstein have been better off using Muse ...
An additional new feature in Curio 22 (still in beta) is "file-backed text figures". Unfortunately a clunky name for the feature, but what Curio is doing here is displaying the contents of a file as...
People- vs. Project-Centric Email Workflow
11/30/2021
@Ken, when you meet with staff, keep in mind it is not a technical gap in the software your agency bought, it is about altering business rules and roles and perhaps asking administrators and managers ...
People- vs. Project-Centric Email Workflow
11/30/2021
@Ken, I have worked at implementing very large M365 (nee O365) installations in government -- I assume that is what your agency is running on. The short story is that the underlying infrastructure to...
Black Friday deals
11/22/2021
Just to mention -- iThoughtsX on macOS, in conjunction with the Marked 2 utilty from Brett Terpstra, can do a very similar thing to Writemapper. Compose in iThoughtsX while Marked 2 watches the file...
Browser-only outliner / note-taker
10/10/2021
I would also recommend Dynalist -- as Steve Zeoli did. I have used Dynalist in a browser on Windows machines provided to me by clients, with no issues.
BUT -- big but -- make sure you understand th...
Readwise Reader app
9/20/2021
I recently subscribed to Readwise, and I am also looking forward to Readwise Reader. The Readwise team is very open to customer opinion suggestions. A great service. Now that they have an "offi...
When the annual subscription renewal cycled around recently I decided to continue my Premium subscription to Evernote. Partly because I've invested it with so much content over the past ten years or ...
Logseq + Obsidian
6/12/2021
Obsidian has had "WYSIWYG editor (like Typora)" on its roadmap as a "short-term" focus for a while. I think Erica and Shida have been busy trying to get the mobile app finalized first.
https://tr...
Roam v. Obsidian
5/23/2021
I did the test period with Roam, but didn't sign up because of the cloud storage, and the help documentation was a mess. I figured if they cannot document their program for people considering a purc...
Totally off-piste, but...
4/23/2021
When I saw the colors I realized how grey Apple had become. Thank you Jony Greystoke.
In the two days since the iMac colors hit the market, I've received two ads in email from Apple, touting colorfu...
Obsidian mobile app in alpha testing
3/23/2021
Obsidian's mobile app for iOS / iPadOS and Android is in alpha testing with a limited user group, with the expectation that broader beta testing will come soon.
It is already a very useful and fully-...
Dynalist enters the "hobby work" phase
2/26/2021
Interesting post from Erica Xu, who with her husband created Dynalist and now Obsidian. Nothing surprising about this -- Obsidian is clearly far more successful -- from a user-base perspective -- th...
MindNode adds outlining to mind maps
12/19/2020
@satis thank you
Requires the annual subscription -- yes?
What is the state of the art in outliners with mind maps -- or, conversely, mind mappers with outlines?
The end of the Taking Note blog
12/1/2020
I've checked from time to time to see if the Taking Note blog had come alive. Today (1 December 2020) I see that the blog has been removed from Blogspot entirely. The blog is still available on the ...
Obsidian in public beta
10/20/2020
Insider releases usually come out about a week or less before the public release. Release notes are here:

The "block linking" ...
TheBrain 12 - Beta Testing Started
10/18/2020
Thank you for the notice.
TheBrain 12 is going to give Roam-ism a significant challenge for a lot of people.
Roam Patrol!
10/10/2020
The technology of Roam or Obsidian is not new -- the developers are using existing off the shelf components. What's "new" is that the business of linking "notes" (or something more granular within a ...

Evernote reinventing itself
10/10/2020
The setting is there, but somewhat buried. If you click a notebook in the sidebar, then in the next panel to the right you click the three dots at the top (a tooltip says "More Actions") then in that...
Tinderbox updated to 8.8
10/10/2020
I agree that Eastgate's steady addition of features to Tinderbox is a good case for where subscriptions work to benefit customers. I'd add a couple other observations. First, most of the product upd...
macOS Checklist App
9/22/2020
I use AnyList for that sort of purpose, and lots of others. Lots of useful list features, and available on macOS, web, iOS, Android, etc., plus Alexa integration. I'm always finding more uses for ...
Evernote reinventing itself
9/18/2020
From what I've seen of the latest release on iOS/iPadOS there is a dumbing down of features occurring in Evernote. Or simplification, whatever one's point of view might be. Other than access to my l...
Got it. Thanks Simon.
Good example of hubris.
