Obsidian in public beta
5/30/2020
Just downloaded the app. It seems quite fast but also very clumsy to navigate. It took me almost five minutes to import a Markdown file into the app: it requires the files to be inside the pre-establi...
Org-Mode resource

That link was floated to the top of Hacker News the other day. Interesting discussion:

5/16/2020
0.52 just came out, and someone already posted a video walkthrough.

Yes, it's apparently brand spanking new there.

Just stumbled onto this Mac/iOS app. A mindmapper with colored tags, dates (and Smart Lists based on date), and it can be used and viewed either in task/outline view or mindmap view. Free trial downlo...

Gingko is MIA. I purchased the Gingko2 desktop app 51 months ago and its development has crawled forward, and it remains incompatible with the online version.

I came across a post related this topic, on top note-taking apps.

I read in a thread, from Obsidian's Erica, I believe, that Obsidian was influenc...
Reminds me of a Windows 98 app.

Just to point out that Gingko bifurcated itself into a service, separate from a deskt...
Quire.io (free until mid-2019)

Service is still being developed, and it's still free. Almost forgot about it, until I got an email saying that because of the current health emergency they're dropping all limits for nonprofits.

Useful Article Explaining Zettelkasten

I thought this was an interesting article about creating a Zettelkasten in Typora (cross-platform, in free beta for Mac for years):

Free should be a taster. I have no problem with an app reserving the most desired features for paying customers.

There are many dozens of productivity apps and of course something's going to have features in the freebie version that other apps don't. And vice versa. I pay for Todoist, by the way, but I see plent...

Recurring tasks are often included as a Pro/pay feature. That's the way it is in MeisterTask, Trello, and also (I think) TickTick.

Cross Comparison of documents

You can compare one document to another with the 'diff' tool via the Mac command-line:

There are apparently graphic front-end...
Noto - has anyone tried it?
2/22/2020
That article notes that it's a Mac app too.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/noto-elegant-note/id1481538490
It's promising as a notetaking app. MacStories oddly compares it to Notion, which is a person...
In various incarnations Opal was my main outliner for decades - originally called Acta in the 80s, then sold off and renamed Dyno NotePad, then reverting to the original developer. Opal is now a 64-bi...
Outlinely has been on my radar for a couple of years, as I like the way they reimplemented the look of Dynalist in a Mac/iOS app whose data I control. I'm not fully on-board with it because it seems t...
I'm curious - what are you using now? I'm trying to decide if I want to wean myself off OmniOutliner Pro.

No, they don't say that outright, but with the dramatic price increase last year (from $60 to $100 for the unlocked Mac app, from $20 to $50 for the iOS app), plus the 2020 roadmap not mentioning a si...
