Inspiration? That brings back memories if it's the same app from the ... late 80s? If so, I didn't even know it was still around.

I agree - pinning is a great idea. (What do you mean 'each of the windows' though?)

A journalist outline

Interesting interview with WaPo's Avi Selk over at Nieman. He's got a manually-intensive outlining workflow he uses to pump out articles:

Links are always good. Are you talking about this app?

Gingko Desktop update

Yes, the current look is attractive, but surface prettiness gives way to usability problems pretty quickly.
The Help menu should actually gave help in using the app. The FAQ option in Help merely sen...
Gingko Desktop update

This is the first desktop version I feel comfortable experimenting with, but it's still rather bare bones. The first version, which I bought in January, was pretty raw: no Help or FAQ, Quit was called...
I remain supportive of the features and the continued development of Devonthink, but I too was not using it to its full potential: I wasn't using the scanning/OCR or the AI analysis.

I thought the example was instructive too. But it was also instructive to showing the method behind Omni's madness - that keyboard-command was the same across multiple Omni apps. If I were a user of O...

Ah, nevermind. That's because OO Elements doesn't have that feature!

MacJournal

MacJournal seems to have been in maintenance mode for many years, with little beyond periodic bugfixes to the app. (We've seen the dev Mariner Software do this with MacGourmet as well.) From what I ca...

I always thought that Notebook was more Mac-like in its operation, but I didn't like the idea of putting *everything* into any one single app, so I never used either app. Also, they both seemed a bit ...
