Which "favorite" outliner app would you give up if something better came along 7/7/2018

Well my big issue is the lack of a strong iOS client paired with an equally strong desktop app. I currently use Dynalist, but for some reason they've struggled for a long time to make an iOS app which...

Dynalist gets an API 7/3/2018

More info here: http://blog.dynalist.io/api-beta/ I wonder if the API is powerful enough that someone could build a native iOS app? I suspect not, but it would be great if that were possible!

Edit on iOS -- does one thing and does it right 7/3/2018

Have you tried Drafts? http://getdrafts.com/ It is a similar idea, just a text file - but it combines with powerful scripts to integrate with other apps. Write some text and send it to Bear, 2Do, U...

Former engineer/designer at Facebook to join Workflowy 6/28/2018

Since Dynalist seems unable or unwilling to fix the bugs in their iOS app, I have to hope that Workflowy or Outlinely can get their act together to make a product that is good enough I can replace Dyn...

Why folding? 6/20/2018

I'm personally more interested in "zooming" or "hoisting" than folding. I love being able to zoom in on a part of a document and focus on it to the exclusion of other parts and then be able to zoom ou...

Outlinely gets a (minor) update 6/17/2018

After one year of no news, outlinely got a minor compatibility update last week. Glad to know it isn’t dead, even though I still see no reason to pay for a subscription...

Dynalist update 6/15/2018

So Dynalist's iOS app suddenly started working for me again. That is to say, it no longer freezes upon startup. The developers say it wasn't any change that they made but probably something to do with...

innovation in simplicity: looking for, the most imaginative software 6/11/2018

While I don't like using Todoist as a ToDo List, I actually find it useful for keeping open-ended lists of things like shopping lists, "movies to see," or "books to read," etc. especially since it ma...

Taskade 6/2/2018

After notes, my second biggest feature request would be to support Markdown formatted links like Dynalist and Todoist do. I use this feature all the time in both apps and it makes it very easy to shar...

Taskade 6/2/2018

One feature I really find lacking in both the app and the roadmap is the ability to attach notes to individual outline items like you can in Workflowy, Outlinely, Dynalist, and Checkvist. I see "comme...

Agenda 5/22/2018

Agenda for iOS was just announced. It is available as a pre-order, but the price is free, so this just means it will download automatically: https://itunes.apple.com/tw/app/agenda-a-new-take-on-notes...

Comparisons of online outliners 5/18/2018

I'm surprised how far Checkvist has come along. I used them when they first came out, but haven't checked back in for a while. Since they don't have a proper iOS app I'm not interested in using them a...

SlipStack 5/16/2018

I haven't tried this yet, but it looks like it would be of interest to forum members. An iOS version is under development. App store link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/slipstack/id1378774783?mt=12...

Folding Text 3 -- on the horizon? 5/16/2018

I don't understand why anyone would make a macOS note taking app/outliner in 2018 that didn't have an iOS version.

Dynalist update 5/13/2018

Hmm. Looking at the forums it seems it might be an issue unique to using bluetooth keyboards. Hopefully it can be fixed... Till then I have to use Workflowy for input on the go and then import to Dyna...

Dynalist update 5/12/2018

Unfortunately, yet more updates have broken the iOS app. It is completely useless to me again. Luhmann wrote: A few more updates came out since I posted this, fixing some of the >biggest problems. I...

Highland -- finally a replacement for Ulysses? 5/11/2018
