HelixNotes and Zorin OS

I'm another elementaryOS 8.1 user, running on an old Macbook Pro from 2011. I did replace the hard drive with a terabyte SSD. And I think I've mentioned this before, but Outliner, an elementary app is...
Dynalist Revisited
1/20/2026
It's been my daily driver for years. I don't actually need it to be developed. It does what I want it to, although I'm poking around emacs org-mode quite a bit more lately.
My writing habits have changed over the years. Today, I do most of my writing in Dynalist, then drop it into Google Docs. The other work flow is to write in org-mode (then, often, export through Pando...
Classic. I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes software is more interesting than the lives they were supposed to help us with.

Gingko

Fellow CRIMPers:
Gingko update from many years later. It WAS and is an amazing concept. Horizontal outliners are handy for some kinds of things, and Gingko when I first saw it was simple, clear, and ...
MyInfo Is My Choice
1/24/2025
Interesting thread. I like the retrospective look at what actually helped. At this point, my use cases are pretty much addressed by Dynalist (work management, some long form writing) and Upnote (remem...
Best Wishes for 2025 !

Hear hear. And thank you all for your many illuminating posts.
From Ecco To Emacs / Org-Mode
12/3/2024
This is an encouraging post. I still only dabble with org-mode, but once I get into it, I love the way you can do such alternatively simple and complex things (move forward and back by sentence is one...
Multi-Platform "Junk Drawer" App
10/28/2024
Another vote for Upnote. I too was a Simplenote user for years, but wanted to plunk in the occasional picture. It was able to read in my Simplenote files, allows for tagging, and even works as a reaso...
PC OUTLINE
8/12/2024
Reviving Wordstar looks like a fun way to spend a day! But in truth, I eventually moved on to VDE, a free Wordstar clone that was in my opinion even better and faster. https://sites.google.com/site/vd...
Thanks, Daly. This surge of attempted and successful censorship in the US is indeed the issue of the day. Appreciate the order, and would love to know what you think. I do give lots of credit to the w...
For me it was KAMAS, my first true outline processor. The simple ability to collapse and expand headings, to hoist, was transformational, teaching me to think of writing as a scaffold, allowing me to ...
Exporting from UpNote
7/5/2023
I don't know, but I wonder, too. I IMPORTED all my notes from Simplenote, but would also like to know how to export.

Also in favor of this kind of focused update. It's one thread, and nicely arranged by date. I appreciate it, and the involvement of a vendor who seems mindful of our time and attention.

Great tips, and thanks for the links. The second one was packed with info.
mem.ai
2/14/2023
I just stumbled across a mention of this as a way to make Obsidian accessible via the web. I did a search on mem.ai on this site, and got lots of hits--but they seem to be false ones. Has anyone looke...
True. I remember flirting with Moo.do (now Legend) and coming up with some organizational approaches I then applied to Workflowy, which I wound up importing to Dynalist. Right now, Obsidian seems to o...
Building a Second Brain
11/3/2022
I know that in times of stress, my brain defaults to being able to keep track of 7 things. An unimportant thing comes in, something else, however big or urgent, just falls out. So creating a list of t...
Bangle.io
9/2/2022
Thanks. Pretty slick. On first blush, it's easy to learn and use. It's a kind of markdown-ish scratchpad that's pretty good for managing notes. It feels a little like a locally hosted Dynalist. Non-pr...
The Function Beyond
8/5/2022
Hah! On the other hand, it is clearly labeled, as promised. And until us, this was a thread where 22111 was having an apparently deeply engaging conversation with ... well, with 22111. So hey, here's ...
Hah, I've done that. It wouldn't have been the first time everybody else knew what the post was about, and I didn't. Thanks for the update!
This had me scratching my head for a bit. Here's an article for some context.

UpNote adds collapsible sections
7/14/2022
Thank you all. There's nothing like a couple hours CRIMPING to celebrate your birthday!
Incidentally, I exported all my Simplenotes to a JSON file, then imported that into UpNote. It took all of the ...
UpNote adds collapsible sections
7/13/2022
I'm not sure how I missed this app in previous discussions. It is VERY attractive. And it has a lifetime price of $24.99! I like the to do lists, the built in word counts, collapsible sections, and a ...
OneNote update

According to this article: https://www.engadget.com/microsoft-onenote-app-windows-102737016.html
