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
9/12/2019
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
8/2/2019
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...
Interesting app with strange name

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...
Fast Software, the Best Software
7/31/2019
I still fondly remember how fast MORE felt when it first came out.
Bookends Replacement Needed
7/30/2019
Paperpile's iOS app is still in beta, but it is already quite good and should be in public beta by the end of the year.

Fast Software, the Best Software
7/27/2019
I liked this essay a lot. Fits with my philosophy as well, although I don't use the apps he uses (except Ulysses):
"Software that’s speedy usually means it’s focused. Like a good tool, it...
New Apps of Interest
7/20/2019
It should be a much more substantive change than that. See the FAQ:

This was updated only a week ago, so it seems clear that the new vers...
New Apps of Interest
7/18/2019
Pretty sure they would make a big announcement when it is released, and nothing is yet on their blog. The macOS and iOS apps are still at version 1. However, it does look like they might have jumped t...
New Apps of Interest
7/16/2019
I find the current user interface overly complex and difficult to use, but version 2 is in beta and should come out this summer. I am not a beta tester, but I will look at Clickup again after they rel...

Thanks Chris for maintaining this forum. I came to this forum initially because I was frustrated at the lack of decent cross platform (meaning mac desktop and iPhone) outlining software that met my ne...

Standard Notes
5/17/2019
Last I checked Standard Notes could not search within PDF attachments. I don't know about Joplin.
Checkvist recent updates

I was an early user but abandoned it when it became clear that there were no plans to develop a mobile app for iOS. Has that changed?
Subscription as investment
5/11/2019
I bought a lifetime subscription to outlinely for this reason, but I regret it as I think the app will never live up to its potential. Generally I only pay for what I actually use.
One outliner for Mac, iPad, and iPhone
4/12/2019
I disagree. I see the development as mostly dealing with cosmetic changes and upgrades for system compatibility. Long term bugs and UX issues that I've reported multiple times have never been addresse...
One outliner for Mac, iPad, and iPhone
4/12/2019
I see outlinely hasn't been updated in 7 months. Pretty lame for an app that asks users to pay a subscription to support development.
One outliner for Mac, iPad, and iPhone
4/11/2019
I still think Dynalist is the best option for now. Even though the iOS app does not feel as nice as a native app, I find that it is better than outlinely for my needs.
The main point of productivity apps, for me, is peace of mind. If you have a system, and trust it, then you don't have to waste extra brain power wondering if you forgot something. 2Do + Fantastical p...
