Smartdown - lack of activity
5/15/2016
An entirely new version was just released. I'm not sure in what world that's considered "abandoned."
Last bit of activity on the site was from two months ago. That's better than most software makers...

Beginning to see the light with org-mode
4/10/2016
I have continued to learn, play with and refine Org-Mode. While it's frustrating in many ways, once I'd wrestled it into submission, I found it's pretty much the outliner I've been looking for all thi...

Not really, hence my conclusion that Resophnotes is probably still better, though I'm hoping there's potential for it to improve in the future.
Thought...
One thing to note, though, is that the sync is pretty fast. I can write something in the Simplenote app on my phone and watch it get update on my desktop in real time.

Simplenote has finally released an official client for Windows and Linux.
Whether or not it's any good depends on how you feel about the web app, since it's quite literally the web app, running on t...

And another one: Typora http://www.typora.io/
It's quite nice, but unfortunately, there's a major issue with input lag on my computer.

Fantastic! Now how about creating a "Grandview for Mac". :)

The Most Dangerous Writing App
3/1/2016
Oh. It eats *everything* if the screen goes red.
Anyway, the whole thing seems a bit silly though I see how it's kind of amusing. Just not practical. It's not difficult to say, set the stopwatch app...
Virtual machines for CRIMPers
2/28/2016
While we're on the topic of virtual machines and vintage software (like GrandView), I discovered an operating system called FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org/) exists. I haven't tried it yet, but this m...

In fairness, Apple, for some reason, doesn't allow upgrade pricing in the app store, so I assume that's why it'll be $5 and $20 for the fi...
Day One 2 available on Thursday

So...if I'm happy with using Dropbox and, in fact, need it to sync with Journaley on Windows, I should *not* give the developer more money. Got it.

I have downloaded it. It's okay.
The mixture of markup and live preview, as opposed to having the preview in separate pane is kinda neat. It has decent support for tables. It also loads pretty quick...

Cloud Outliner 2 for OS X

Anyway, I feel like this discussion more highlights the value of ...

WriteMonkey gets better and better
