Move to bin
3/19/2018
My first real outliner was KAMAS. The command that I just loved was "move to bin." The idea was that you could set up 9 different outline nodes, then move through the big outline and in a couple of ke...
This is very like the new software previously discussed on the forum: Indigrid at https://innovationdilation.com/. But instead of a structured display liited to level, you can add the views you want o...
What makes this better than Atom or Sublime (ok, it's free?).
And on Android, check out Halna Outliner.

This is a web based version of Notecase. But you have to install it as a server on your own machine.

Not really. An old Acer Windows 7 laptop. B...
FoldingText for Atom text editor
1/24/2018
I was telling someone that I really liked Editorial on iOS. They mentioned the Atom text editor. What I remember about it: free, multiplatform, lots of plugins. The title of this article (from last Ju...
Smartdown - lack of activity
1/22/2018
I liked Smartdown 1 better, too, although it had some non-standard editing things. I don't recall right now - I think home and end didn't work as expected, I couldn't move by paragraph - just the basi...
Smartdown - lack of activity
1/22/2018
After beta testing and buying two versions of Smartdown by Aflava, I got this message on Jan 19,2017:
"I always wanted to make SmartDown the best markdown editor for Windows. Developing a good applic...
Important note to new forum users
1/5/2018
Hear, hear! This is a forum that is both genuinely useful (having helped me find tools that I now use daily) and is remarkably free of trolls.
2 More Open Source Free Kanban Boards
12/28/2017
So the response to my first question (why isn't Trello enough) comes down to the need for more sophisticated options for more complex situations. (Although I do like that Trello has iOS and Android ap...
2 More Open Source Free Kanban Boards
12/28/2017
Yeah, anti-Semitism isn't funny.
But back ON topic. This thread made me go back and look at Trello. Maybe it's me, but it looks like a hell of a tool these days. The UI is minimal, clean, and fast. ...
Winterfest sale - Panorama X

Take a look at Airtable. My office has started to use this a lot for conference and committee organization. A very powerful and flexible relational database.
FromScratch - outliner scratchpad
12/16/2017
I ran across this in the discussion about Folding text enhancements. Someone mentioned an open source project: https://fromscratch.rocks/
It's a free scratchpad, single window, that supports outlinin...
Tell us about your book
12/1/2017
I wrote a weekly newspaper column for about 25 years (at two different jobs). When I left my last job, someone suggested printing them all out. But that would have been 7,000 pages. (I calculate less ...
Tell us about your book
11/29/2017
My book is "The New Inquisition: Understanding and Managing Intellectual Freedom Challenges." I was then the director of a county library in Colorado. In my time there I got around 250 formal attempts...
Two updates. Dr. Andus, yes, I can go to Mindmup, click on the Google Drive button, and still save files.
But even though I also have a Google Play account with my chromebook login, and I'm up to da...
ah, that's a good tip. You're right. I probably set up my Android phone with a generic gmail account before I bought the G suite. Thanks.
Dynalist new function: capture to inbox
9/27/2017
This is nifty. And yes, I know that emacs/org-mode does it. But this is pretty painless. Nothing to install.
http://blog.dynalist.io/inbox-capture/
Thanks for the comments. Mindmup, using the free version, won't let me save to Google anymore. I've also been looking at mindmapmaker.org, which offers a somewhat quirky, but free and open source outl...
I recently picked up a Chromebook (C100p notebook) at $250 for an overseas trip. It worked great; really light and easy to travel with. The screen and keyboard are a little small, but then, so is an a...
CRIMPing in the future.
9/9/2017
As I understand it, CRIMPing is a psychological condition. It is the restless urge to manage one's affairs by diverting energy to management systems rather than to the tasks themselves. Sadly, at leas...
Smartdown - lack of activity
9/5/2017
Today I downloaded a Smartdown II 1.2.0.0 beta test. To be honest, although I'm a registered user, I haven't used it all that often. But it's not a subscription!
No new killer features, although the ...
Any Windows users here ?
9/5/2017
My need to do work stuff, which is Microsoft-centric, has kept me focused mostly on Windows. I used to run Linux on my home laptop, too, but I got weary of having to constantly update TWO operating sy...
Just what is an outliner?
5/7/2017
Agreed about "this is a fun topic to think about together." I'll take a swing at it, and might learn something.
I think the wikipedia article is pretty right on. It's the "dedicated" part of this thr...
