Obsidian in public beta 8/7/2020

The important point about 1Writer is that links you created in Obsidian will work there. So you can navigate and read your notes on mobile very much the same way that you would on desktop. (Although i...

Obsidian in public beta 8/6/2020

I'm using Roam these days, but on the obsidian forums most people recommend 1Writer as supporting the Obsidian wiki-linking features and sync a bit better than iA writer.... (Note, however, that while...

What Reference Manager are you using? 8/6/2020

Note: Citavi is Windows only. (The Mac installation instructions tells you to install a Windows virtual machine...)

Taskade 7/30/2020

Those are probably the two most important missing features, and would go a long way towards bringing Taskade in line with other, similar, products.

Taskade 7/24/2020

I had a lot of hope for Taskade when it first came out. I loved the simplicity of the interface and the cute design (including the logo), but now I just find the interface overly cluttered and difficu...

New Outliner/Roam Clone 7/24/2020

logseq.com looks like it is still in early development, but worth keeping an eye on. Bullet lists, backlinks, markdown, syncs with Github, etc. (Not everything is working right yet.)

Organizing Bookmarks 7/20/2020

So I've used pretty much everything here, and still have a Pinboard account as well, but my current favorite method is to use Roam Research. It is hard to explain how Roam works if you haven't used it...

Dynalist adds backlinks 7/2/2020

See the announcement: https://blog.dynalist.io/2020-june-update/ It doesn't seem to be working as expected for me, but I'm sure they'll iron out the bugs soon...

Another new app 6/26/2020

RemNote (Roam-like web app) 6/26/2020

As per the website: "RemNote is the first spaced-repetition powered note-taking tool that lets you structure knowledge exactly in the way you think about it." I've always been turned off by this. Not ...

New plugins to make existing tools more roam-like 6/26/2020

Two interesting plugins under development. Foam, for Visual Studio: https://foambubble.github.io/foam/ Streams, for TiddlyWiki: https://saqimtiaz.github.io/sq-tw/bullets.html Yet more proof that,...

List of Networked notebook apps 6/8/2020

Many of the top apps (Roam, Obsidian, etc.) now have discussion forums. Sometimes on Discord or Slack. Each of these now also includes a channel for discussion about other software that does similar t...

List of Networked notebook apps 6/7/2020

Someone put together a list of "networked notebook apps" on Notion. I find some of the groupings problematic. (For instance it lists apps as having "backlinks" when they only have "wikilinks" but not ...

Obsidian in public beta 6/6/2020

They continue to push out significant updates for Dynalist on schedule despite the new project.

nvAlt replacement 6/1/2020

Looks like the macOS version of nvUltra will be released soon? The webpage is rather polished and the feature list is pretty impressive. Love that it indexes PDFs as well. https://nvultra.com/ (PS: ...

Obsidian in public beta 5/31/2020

"the fine print clauses says he (Roam) and also obsidian can snoop on people’s data anytime." While maybe true of Roam (as it is of Google, Evernote, and other online services), it is most cert...

Obsidian in public beta 5/30/2020

I wish one could go back and edit things here... I hit "post" too soon.

Obsidian in public beta 5/30/2020

Some of my preference comes from positive regarding how the Obsidian developers relate to users in online forums. They manage to be very responsive while still maintaining their own unique vision (i.e...

Obsidian in public beta 5/27/2020

I think it is important that people understand that even though it is in "public beta" and already has an impressive feature base, it is still very far from the finished product the developers have in...

new blog post from the Evernote CEO 5/27/2020

I long ago gave up on using Evernote as a note-taking app, but I still rely on it to save and find my non-academic PDFs and screenshots of web pages, etc. I especially like using it with the Scanable ...

Tags for Forum Threads? #meta 5/27/2020

I wonder if it would be possible to add tags to the forum? I imagine tags for different categories of posts (meta, updates, new app, workflows, seeking help, etc.) as well as for platforms (apple, win...

TiddlyWiki Toolmap 5/26/2020

My biggest issue with TiddlyWiki is maybe a minor issue for some, but I don't like the fact that it isn't always in edit mode, the way Roam is. I wish there was a way to make it so that you could just...

Obsidian gets folding 5/26/2020

I have not been able to understand what bvasconcelos has been trying to say, but this discussion on the Obsidian forums helped me. Looks like Obsidian is considering some kind of implementation of thi...

TiddlyWiki Toolmap 5/23/2020

Found this incredible document (hosted on Dynalist) listing hundreds of tools and resources for using TiddlyWiki. https://dynalist.io/d/zUP-nIWu2FFoXH-oM7L7d9DM I personally tried using TiddlyWiki ...
