Mellel 6 released (Mac only)
12/15/2023
Upgrade price is $44.99
I used version 2.x around 15 years ago, and was satisfied with its speed and features compared to Word, which I hated using. Mellel has always been an outstanding word process...
WriteMapper 4 is out for Mac and Windows
12/14/2023
We'll see. I'd certainly prefer a native Mac app that takes advantage of UI practices (menu bar, file management, full screen, Dock menus, widgets) over a least-common-denominator Electron app. Genera...

Looks interesting. Like all new writing apps, an AI 'assistant' is integrated into it too.

It should be pointed out that nowhere in IA's post about its upcoming notebook does it say that the paper is fountain pen-friendly. And when you're talking about a niche notebook like this, if it does...
iA physical (paper) notebook
12/8/2023
'Watermark lines' like these are nothing new in the stationery world, but they're niche. A couple of years ago Ghost Paper sold an "embossed line" notebook that looked very similar, and other manufact...

This project has slowed down considerably and I haven't heard of outline integration being mentioned in a very long time. I'd consider using an actual outliner (including newer options like Logseq) wi...

I use Brave, and I'm happy with it, but that review shortchanges the power of Mullvad's browser anonymization, which is significantly better than Brave's. Not only that the review misunderstands what ...

When choosing a secure browser it's important that they update quickly to address reported attacks. I'm not sure about other platforms but Avast hasn't been updated for a month on macOS and iOS. Since...
Buying from BitsDuJour makes me a little nervous because much of the software sold there is old, or janky, or the companies are selling apps that aren't well-maintained.
For example, in the Mac secti...

In the same vein, Mullvad - one of the top privacy-oriented VPN companies (and the VPN [re]sold by Mozilla/Firefox and by MalwareBytes) - also came out with its own privacy-focused "Tor-developed brow...

My error. Sorry.
Heptabase - Crimp cured?

They have had at least one multimillion dollar funding rounds, two co-founders (one is CEO, one is CTO), a UK Director (they're HQed in Belgium) and a few data scientists with listed emails. But it's ...
Received this offer in email today, perhaps someone here might be interested. (It is not an affiliate link, so I get nothing from this.)

But Mindnode doesn't do text outlining well, while Escape has a separate writing mode that seems more like a color-coded version of Dynalist.

A long overdue update for Outline
