ultrawide monitors?
5/18/2018
A couple of years ago I bit the bullet and decided to try using spaces on my 27" iMac and it completely changed the way I use it, and I feel no need for a 2nd monitor, even though I've had an unused 2...
Comparisons of online outliners

Dynalist is the service that recommended last Xmas that in order to take advantage of their 1-yr 50%-off deal that existing users should 'unsubscribe first.' That they are unable to code a simple prom...

ultrawide monitors?

In 2003 and 2008 NEC commissioned studies on single vs multiple monitors. To no one's surprise, the conclusion was BUY MORE MONITOR$.

It looks interesting for some management tasks. But it also reminds me why I don't use tags - too much thought and time needed to implement and think about which tags to apply, dealing with renaming t...

Folding Text 3 -- on the horizon?

Someone in that thread said it for me: not interested after reading "FoldingText 3 is also written in electron"
I've never come across a an elegant Mac app using that Framework, let alone one that re...
I'd simply suggest making your headings their own sections, which can be viewed in a hierarchical left pane (and thus can easily be rearranged) in a number of Markdown-compatible apps you can buy (Scr...

Highland has a fraction of the features of Ulysses, but the new version (which I bought) isn't bad. It handles extremely large documents too - this test (by the dev) shows it handling a 700,000 (?) wo...

Ugh.
Ugh. We're 48 hours into Day One's sync having crashed and burned. The villagers are out with pitchforks on Twitter, needling the devs about having ripped out iCloud/Dropbox sync.
I admit it's pretty...
FYI I looked into this a bit more but forgot to write about it. Turns out Degoo is a P2P backup solution, it takes slices of your computer's time for processing and older, now-deleted reviews claimed ...

Dev is pretty in the app blog about the app not being particularly popular, and being seen as a me-too product. So I wish them well with the new business model.
But I can't help but feel the app is s...
Just logged in from my Github account, downloaded the latest beta. It's clean, fast, limited. Hard to switch from one pane to the other, or to see which pane has focus. Interesting beta, but I'm not s...

PDF expert is selling for 4$
5/2/2018
Yup. I looked over these apps last week and picked up PDF Expert only, for $9 total.
The one killer, must-have app in that list is Default Folder X, which I've used, jeez, for at least a decade. It's...
