OmniOutliner Automation Made Simple
2 weeks ago
Automation in OmniOutliner is pretty cool, no matter how you get there. All apps should be scriptable, and OO's Javascript makes a lot more sense to me than Applescript.
That may make me a heretic, s...

In line tasks! Very nice.
I looked at Tana a little, but was put off by all the AI.
My dream outliner lets me outline and keep a repository of notes, all integrated together.
You are wise to steer clear of Word's outline mo...
Arg. You're right. In my defense, I didn't use a calculator and slipped a few decimal places.
Many thanks for the correction.

AI paralyzes me. I know in my gut we're going to see a stock market hit at least as big as the housing bubble. That took out half the market's value.
I'm paralyzed because I can't bring myself to clo...

Mail merge is handy for things like when Congress is begging for a whup-down, which generally happens on those times when a weekday ends in "Y".
I've been using a spreadsheet. Columns are added for g...
Totally agree, although I have a little tolerance for proprietary file formats in some cases.
If I can understand enough of the format to extract my work, that's a little bit of a safety net.
The wo...

I have not kept up with Plottr. I bought a very early copy and set it aside. I've always thought it's a great idea, but it didn't quite fit me, which is a personal problem.
The added Pro features I d...

Apropos of the moment and presented with respect. I understand AI can be a powerful tool.
Plottr just sent out a notice they've made the decision to leave AI out of their products because they don't ...

I like to track my scrimping. It's difficult. I have expenditures, ROI, planned purchases, and budgeting broken up across disparate spreadsheets, csv, and json files.
If only there was one unified to...

Ok, an update.
Ken (Case, I believe) emailed asking for an activity monitor snapshot while OO was hung - and I can no longer get it to hang.
There was one thing different, though. The first non-han...

Word from Ken at OmniGroup, which I think may be Ken Case himself.
"We expect customers to be able to use a single license on all of their devices at once—even if they have multiple Macs, multi...

I have found one disquieting thing. I installed it on my laptop and opened it to configure OO6's toolbar. It wouldn't run. The instance on my desktop was unresponsive. I force quit and tried again. No...

I sense OO is not the most popular outliner out there. For those who follow OO, version 6 has just been released.
Extra columns mean I can add custom metadata, and I'm getting some mileage out of my ...

Wait a minute, that sounds like some of my customers!
On second thought, you can have them if you really want them. ;-)

HyperPlan is my bill paying dashboard along with ad-hoc uses that come up. Easy Data Transform remains my primary rodent control when going after rogue appraisal districts.

Obsidian Bases -- any use cases?

It's been a while since I used this, so forgive me if I goof up the details.
The mission was to arrive at a boatload of notes about Products and Vendors where I could jump from products to any of the...

I know. I'm overposting. I'll try to do limit myself.
But in the meantime, I've finally taken a look at Omni-Automation for OmniOutliner. The automation is based on Javascript.
Very, very, cool. You...

I've been playing with a certain workflow using OmniOutliner.
The idea is to see the outline entries for a single chapter plus background notes that have global reach.
Something like this.

This is really a nice conversation. Philosophy and technology, cool stuff, although the combination is more often used to attack progress than to support it.
I don't wish to attack progress, but ther...

Indeed, good tho see signs of life. I hope the AI can be turned off.
Linking to files is nice. Better that it will open multiple views of a document.
It’s beta so this isn’t a gripe. ...
