I have just released a new version of Hyper Plan (v2.10.4) to support the new M1 Macs. It seems the the previous version (built with an older version of the Qt framework) had issues. I am thinking abo...

Yes. I find paper useful for short term/transitory stuff: things I need to do that day, design of user interfaces etc. But I use my own Hyper Plan software for anything longer term. And I use an outli...
