I appreciate seeing the improvements in Zotero for managing Web-based content and the improvements in Bookends for managing PDF-based content. Each has made great strides in cutting out friction and a...
When I saw the app, I wondered whether it had any potential to be a front end to an Obsidian database/vault. So I pointed it to my Obsidian vault. I can see/edit the Obsidian files and generate a mind...

The resoundingly positive accolades for Easy Transform had me questioning whether I would need it. I can usually cobble together a data transformation in some language or another on my own accord. It ...
Curio 15 is out

I would not presume to make a blanket statement about cost. The RoI in certain software can come down an individual decision. Curio is unique but not absolutely so. Its RoI is what you make of it in t...
I might hazard a guess that you have a line of other folks here who are waiting in the wings while jumping up and down in anticipation of a release happening yesterday. I count myself in this group.

A few years ago, in productivity terms, I used my first iPad rather than my iPhone for:
* Reading Books or PDF files for work-related projects
In the meantime, some apps have stepped up their game o...

FWIS, this question also appears in various ways routinely on the Mac Power Users group. Search just for Bookends to get started.

The main list on macOS includes the o...
As Paul Korm noted, I use Curio exclusively to develop my lecture and research presentations.
I'd be glad to pick up the discussions in the Curio user forum.

FMPro is likely the most effective tool to do the database integration, off-line analysis, and contract printout. Especially since you already know and use it. Somewhere long ago I developed a server ...
Ha! Banner was designed in the dark ages of 640x480 monitors and has remained locked in its UI approach since then. It is written to establish a fantasy-land, multi-screen flowchart with only ascii te...
I am a bit confused about which parts YOU do versus which parts the software app is to do.
* Do YOU manually assign the faculty to the classes, or should the software do this (through some optimizati...
@Darren McDonald
To reference some of your questions/concerns:
* I would not consider MarginNote good enough to use outside its own eco-system. It does not export anything but flattened PDFs. It doe...
Wow!
Thank you. This is a good reason to re-install Parallels on my MBP.

The original post makes a claim of discrimination, eventually supporting its negative "discriminatory" as opposed to "discriminating" in followups. Here we are debating the meaning when I believe inst...

I might comment on the notion of PDF versus something more flamboyant. As a background, I am preparing a study guide that would lead to a textbook (in the science/engineering discipline).

Curio 13 has been released

That heavy user would be me.
Certainly when all you do in Curio is use its graphics tools, you are using only a fraction of its power, and not necessarily the best fraction at that.
WRT the updates,...
