Dynalist Pro 50% off promotion

Good to know. Thanks.

Their free plan is very generous, but I too think they should have a mid-range option for students and others who would like to pay for more but can't afford the full plan. I think a lot of people are...

Glad to see start dates! But still no recurring tasks? One thing I really like in 2Do is the ability to set a recurring task whose start date is automatically set as X days before the due date...
What Reference Manager are you using?

Still using Paperpile. The iOS app (in beta) keeps getting better. They also have a beta MS Word Plugin, but haven't tried that because I don't use word. They claim that the technology behind the Word...
Fsnotes 3
12/1/2019
FS Notes continues to improve. It already has file encryption, tagging (and sub-tagging), and even some features you won't find in Bear like git style versioning.

So here is the whole story. Dynalist developer says it is a Mubu clone, not Dynalist:

Given that Dynalist started as a Workflowy clone and then evolved to surpass it, I welcome this Dynalist clone and hope to see them evolve in new directions as well. Since I don't personally find mind...
Once Dynalist fixed their mobile app I stopped using Mubu. Dynalist’s mobile app still isn’t great, but it is good enough and they improve it regularly. Also I am not willing to store my d...
Dynalist goes awry?

Markdown will still be supported. Users will be able to choose.

Well, they might not replace Intel altogether, but simply supplement them for certain features:

In any case, I ...
This is all because Apple is moving away from dependence on Intel chips, no other reason. This was a long time in coming.

Online alternatives to DevonThink?

Is there really a mac desktop (offline) version? The front page doesn't list it, but I saw a link on another page which didn't work. It said it wasn't available in my app store/region (US)...

I use Paperpile to organize PDFs, PDF Expert to highlight and annotate. (Although Paperpile's built in PDF reader - in beta - is getting better.) I then export annotations to Dynalist for organizing ...
For reference managers I can make two recommendations:
1. Paperpile. This is web-based, but they are working on a stand-alone app that will eventually allow you to do everything in a plain text edito...
Some other options:
MediaWiki (what powers Wikipedia)
Dynalist (can format links with Markdown and make outlines accessible via the web)
Pinboard.in (can import lists of links, tag them, and share ...
RFC - New Software Project: Infosqueezer

My main concern is workflow. It is hard to get a sense of this without mockups of the actual UX, but it sounds like things will be divided into "cards."? One of the things I like about both Ulysses a...

Back to Workflowy from Dynalist
9/8/2019
I prefer Dynalist, but agree that if I were just selecting between the two iOS apps right now I might use Workflowy instead. It has been clear from the beginning that the Dynalist developers don't rea...
Liquidtext review
8/20/2019
I've tried both.
LiquidText lacks an iPhone app, which I need.
Margin Note annoyingly exports to specific apps rather than just support standards like OPML, Markdown, Txt, etc. which makes it impos...
This is in the Drafts forum, but the scripts are to work with Ulysses. I haven't tried this yet, but thought others would be interested:

Interesting app with strange name

Sorry, I didn't look carefully. The code doesn't seem to be included in this repository. Indeed, the developer just seems to be using it as free web hosting. Still, this seems perfectly legitimate, an...

Don't see why the github account doesn't count as a web presence. It isn't a "write up" but the actual code, with a support forum where users and other developers can file issues... IMH this is one of...
