I, too, have been looking for something for *just* outlining and unfortunately, even today, it seems like the best option might be Org-Mode...

From Ecco To Emacs / Org-Mode 12/8/2024

I wonder if something like this https://github.com/jglev/emacs-org-mode-for-the-laity would be useful for people looking for civilized defaults.

Evernote reinventing itself 9/21/2020

I guess "reinventing" be rolling back to Evernote 2 (while keeping the online storage component) is out of the question.

Off Topic: Which keyboard to buy? 4/21/2018

If you're an Apple user, check out the Matias Tactile Pro (http://matias.ca/tactilepro4/) It's built to the same specs as Apple keyboards from the 80's. Failing that, I'd go with Listerene's suggest...

FoldingText for Atom text editor 1/24/2018

Hope you have a powerful computer. Atom is pretty much the poster-child for avoiding Electron apps for performance reasons.... jaslar wrote: I was telling someone that I really liked Editorial on iO...

WriteMonkey gets better and better 1/23/2018

No, the last update (September 2017) still felt like it needed a lot of work to me. Dr Andus wrote: Has anyone been using WriteMonkey 3 beta here on a consistent basis? > >I'm still on v. 2.7, just ...

Indigrid 1/21/2018

I like this and see a lot of potential. The 10,000 word design document reminds me of MaxThink, where again, the manual was more about the philosophy of "how to think" rather than how to actually us...

Markdown everywhere 1/9/2018

Has performance improved at all? I tried it years ago and while it was *very* attractive, I found it unusable because of severe input lag. It would take almost a full second from the time I hit a key ...

I mean, I'm already out on the grounds that it's a subscription model, but I find their attempt at marketing amusing...I have to scroll past a stock photography model and a video of a dog before I can...

Tell us about your book 11/29/2017

I've written a pretty lousy novella for a competition and did not win. That said, the experience did give me a good crash course in Scrivener.

So, is ConnectedText really dead now? 11/29/2017

The software works right now, but (and someone please correct me if I am wrong) as I understand, it relies on a lot of outdated/deprecated components, so that could very well change in the future with...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/17/2017

I've loved TiddlyWiki for years and a lot of the apps that were built on the old TiddlyWiki (some of the GTD apps that came out of TiddlyWiki back in 2006 were pretty great for the time). I've been ...

Dynalist new function: capture to inbox 9/28/2017

This is a pretty key feature in most task management apps and one of the reasons I never got into WorkFlowy. Now, if they can add a global shortcut to the desktop app, they'll really have something.

Nulis, an open source Gingko clone 9/16/2017

It's cool, but it still needs a lot of work. Also, as far as I can tell, it's online only. I got in as a beta tester for the desktop version of Gingko and trust me, it's REALLY good!
