Is Toodledo dead?
7/12/2021
Thank you for that! I did hear some concerns a while ago about where ticktick stored its data and that this was not secure or based in a country where data storage was questionable?

Is Toodledo dead?
7/12/2021
I'm maybe in the hunt for a new task manager (ߙ„). I had dropped using Toodledo when the forums disappeared thinking this was the end. On looking today, the forums are back and the website ...
Mac software recommendations

OmniOutliner is very good. If you're also looking to go mobile it is the most powerful outliner you can get. Yes it has some quirks; styling; but once you learn how it works it's superb. One of my mos...
A significant development with Craft
6/5/2021
Having started to trial Craft, it really is smooth and elegant. Using it is a pleasant experience and really shows how basic Obsidian really is.
How is Craft with security? Is data also local, is it ...

Why Craft and not Obsidian or Roam? Would be interested to know.

Roam v. Obsidian
5/23/2021
The article suggests that Roam is not as secure? Is this true? How far away are Roam's ios apps?
I'm currently using bear, drafts, Standard Notes and Omnioutliner. Could either Roam or Obsidian repla...
The outlining newcomers
5/17/2021
Of course it does depend on what you mean by "silo". Text can be extracted from any app. I don't use Roam or Obsidian, but from what I've read, everyone loves the linkage between the notes and the tag...
Half-baked features
5/4/2021
I've been using a plaintext file with everything in for a while and it's been pretty useful. The most powerful thing in any app in my opinion is a good search. I've been using BBEdit's 'Find All' feat...
It is interesting to see how other people approach their tasks. I have discretionary and non-discretionary time (Mark Forster). Non-discretionary is time I don't control, meetings, appointments, calls...
Sadly, I'm on macos.

Task managers used to be separated from calendars, which was problematic for many people. Now there is more integration.
The idea is that you only have time. This time is fixed for all of us. Tasks n...
Curio 15 is out
5/2/2021
I was an keen user of Curio, but just cannot support their push to yet another subscription service. Their prices are extremely expensive and the normal single version licence has now been reduced to ...
I also much prefer time-blocking. My big snag with calendars is that I haven't found one that can handle a large list without excessive scrolling. I'm disappointed that calendars often don't wrap text...
Is Toodledo dead?

It seems the toodledo forums have been removed.
Wondering if this is the end of toodledo?
Doom Emacs

I've not found the croos apps sync a problem. My configuration works well from either usb or Dropbox and can be quickly installed on other systems. Some configs require installing other software such ...
Doom Emacs
2/23/2021
Hi all,
I have skirted with Emacs a number of times over the years. Last time was 2017 with Spacemacs. This year I thought I'd try out Doom Emacs (https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs).
I have bee...

I've been using Microsoft Word since the early 90's. As time wore on and people became very anti Microsoft and proprietary formats I had to decide what to do when I switch to macOS with 2,000 MS Word ...

Dynalist Pro 50% off promotion

This is where they shoot themselves in the foot. I'm macOS only. For $50 per year I can have Omnioutliner or purchase a traditional licence for $100. Even at the old Omni prices it would still work ou...
The demise of native coded apps
12/18/2020
The difficulty the developer will face is that users who chose a specific operating system aren't necessarily concerned that the apps works on every platform. What they want is for it to work properly...
The Benefit of Nested Tags
12/18/2020
I used Noteplan 2, but v3 is now out of my price range---and a subscription at that, not something I'll return to. It also won't be in Setapp anytime soon as the developer wants to gain traction with ...
The Benefit of Nested Tags
12/17/2020
I recently watched a YouTube video extolling the virtues of Obsidian/Roam/Notion. The video (and it's not alone) highlighted the amazing benefits of links and the graphics browser. I've had a play aro...

The demise of native coded apps
12/6/2020
I don't really care about being locked into an OS, as that's why I chose it. Plus, data doesn't need to be locked in ie markdown files for text, etc. Even with Obsidian and VScode, there are notable o...

I'm here to lament the demise of OS specific coded apps. There is an increasing trend to use Java, Electron, Catalyst and the like. Why do I dislike this? Because the user experience in general is pan...
