That model of infinite canvas with objects on it goes back for years in Numbers.
Much more flexible for my needs than Excel. That's a personal preference, of course.
Tinderbox v9 released
12/11/2022
Tinderbox 9.5 is out. I have a few months left on my updates, so I've installed it.
So far, it's not crashing on my system, something I saw on previous releases.
Also so far, I keep gravitating back...
The Longform team could take a few hints from Canvas. Longform is great, but as far as I see there's no way to add an existing note to a Longform project. You can transclude an existing note into a Lo...
Point well made. In truth, I've never run Dynalist and am not familiar with it at all. I saw "Dynalist" on the Paypal receipt and jumped to conclusions.

Interesting - Obsidian is a companion product from the same two or three people who created Dynalist. If you pay for the insider version of Obsidian, Paypal reports it as a payment to Dynalist.
As many canvasses as I want? How disappointing - I don't deserve things that nice!
I'm also a complete dolt. I thought Obsidian's entry level was a $25 subscription. I was wrong. $25 isn't that much ...
Nice. Tempting to subscribe to get this feature now.
Do you know if you can have multiple whiteboards?
New app, Bike

I'm starting to suspect that CRIMPing may be strategic to the point of letting the rest of the world think it's crazy.
Obsidian is on a Windows box I'm cursed with for work. It's almost nice enough t...

I took Jesse up on his ten dollar offer. First impressions are very positive. I haven't tried the long file scroll test. For outline-sized files, it's working fine.
I'm hoping to replace OmniOutliner...
Obsidian 1.0

Here's an interesting plugin - longform, which is for writing stuff in sections. Pardon me if this runs a little long. It's hard to type, keep a train of thought running, and hyperventilate with child...

Flying Logic came out with an update today, free to any already with a version 3 license.
I've always thought it was cool, but it never really worked for me like I hoped it would. The problem is my p...

No argument. Scapple should be viewed in context with Scrivener. A great combination.
Curio has in the past had rough edges. At present, it's generally polished.
It's also always seemed a little old...

Tinderbox's official documentation could stand some work. The community supported aTbRef is far superior.
Some of the distinctions in Tinderbox are easy to lose track of, like the meanings of agents,...

Curiously, I'm not far from giving Tinderbox another serious trial run. I've always been disgusted by the convergence of promise and utter frustration. That's where Tinderbox always fell.

Iron gall on vellum was so much nicer than cuneiform on clay. Then came the bittersweet moment when geese celebrated keeping their feathers the day we traded quills for fountain pens. We, least of all...

A great man once said, "A man ain't nothing but a man, but before I let a steam drill beat me down I'd die with a hammer in my hand."
I may die with a pen in my hand, but I'll die with ringing prose,...
Affinity has released version 2 of their Publisher/Photo/Designer suite. Introductory price, $99 one-time. No subscription. As best I can tell, it's an Adobe killer.
Lots of improvements, including f...

Yes, that does look intriguing. I look forward to your update!
I believe I remember TheBrain has a pretty spiffy web export feature.
Devonthink's (very pricey) web server is nice. I am treasurer for a non-profit. Every record we've got is in a physical file cabi...

Interesting. I'd heard some of his lifestyle before.
Funny how society can look down on practical things. His walking desk setup might look like something out of a Far Side cartoon but it's probably...
WritingOutliner revived
10/26/2022
I see by email that Edwin Yip has revived his original project, WritingOutliner, a plug-in for Microsoft Word. He had originally set WritingOutliner aside to develop DocxManager.
Now, both projects w...

Is there a plugin to allow arbitrary reordering of the notes in a folder? That's handy to be able to do.

I've started using an under-appreciated feature in Devonthink that is proving to be extremely nice. It's enough to sidetrack me from Obsidian despite the normally undeniable pathology of CRIMPing.
