Demise of NoteMap

Could part of the problem be that it was marketed pretty much exclusively to lawyers and law students? I seem to recall taking a look at it and in order to download a trial version, you had to fill a ...
And then today, there was a major plot twist in the Read It Later app space: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/02/27/mozilla-acquires-pocket/
I'll take Mozilla over Pintrest any day.
So, I signed up for a free trial of Wallabag.it to put it through its paces with a serious intent to sign up.
The first thing I want to mention is the price. Ten dollars is significantly less than r...

Has it been updated at all? When it first launched, it looked like all they did was re-brand Hackpad without any real changes. I felt a little underwhelmed.
Also, the always the cynic, I can't help ...
Basically what Dr. Andus said.
There's some really good stuff like PiggyDB or even MediaWiki (if it's good enough for Wikipedia, it's good enough for you).
But by their nature of being web apps (es...
Dynalist released a public beta of their desktop app for Windows today: https://dynalist.io/download
Similar to the Simplenote desktop app, it's basically the web app, but running on the desktop. Fro...
TheBrain 9 reaches its beta phase

I more find it hard to believe that IBM doesn't already have something like this?
I was at a tech conference in 2007 where someone demoed his side project, which was similar. His demo was feeding it...

Evernote yet again

10 overseas offices? For a notetaking app? And what have they done? Has Evernote really changed all that much since 2008, a time when a cloud-synced notetaking app was a really big deal?
Apparently ...

So it's Org-Mode with a pretty calendar and only works on MacOS and iOS.

I'm not sure how much I'd read into this. It's entirely possible that Google just gave them a deep discount on using their infrastructure in exchange for making a lot of noise about the move and servi...
TreeNote - Windows (new)
9/12/2016
But I do wish the "File" function worked more like Org-Mode with Helm installed, in that you get a menu of targets to file to rather than having to type it in manually. A proper "Mark and Gather" func...
TreeNote - Windows (new)

Wow, this shows a lot of promise. It does, however, still need a lot of work. The apparent lack of hoisting makes this much less usable for me.
But it does have a function for "Filing" an item, some...

I'm really not sure there's any larger lesson to take away from Vesper. When it launched, it was expensive, limited in features (there was no syncing capability and no one stated that one was planned)...
Well, Pocket is the biggest competitor.
If you're willing to get your hands dirty, there's an open source clone called wallabag (https://www.wallabag.org).
This is quite unfortunate, Instapaper wa...
Personally, I hate this move towards subscription-based software.
In a world where subscription-based apps are the norm, won't it also be the norm to completely lose the ability to use a piece of so...
It depends on what kinds of notes you're taking. For plain text notes, it doesn't get any better than Simplenote for cross-platform syncing.
