Fast Software, the Best Software
7/31/2019
I still fondly remember how fast MORE felt when it first came out.
Bookends Replacement Needed

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

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...

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...

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...

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.

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

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

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.

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...

Looks interesting. Unfortunately there is no iOS version…
I think how useful a feature is depends less on the feature and more on the implementation and how well integrated it is into the app. Tagging in Ulysses is useless for me because it is hidden in its ...

Just discovered a Todoist / Trello / TickTick alternative called ClickUp. Anyone tried it? First impression is that it is powerful but takes a bit of learning to set up the way you want. (Many feature...
How is search in Nimbus compared to Evernote? Can it search in attached PDFs as well? How good is the web clipper?
I agree. Even though Dynalist is now "usable" on iOS, the lousy web app often gets in the way of doing real work with it.
I don't know about Android, but I have read that Apple is working hard to mak...
Taskade
4/3/2019
Forgot to add: Taskade also has a much nicer iOS interface than Dynalist. I don't think they will ever fully support iOS as they seem to be a web-first company.

Hi John,
I have always been very active in discussing features and giving feedback on software that I use regularly; however, since Taskade does not yet meet my needs I will refrain from getting invo...
