This forum is a time capsule
10/13/2022
This forum isn't just a time capsule, it's a great community. I appreciate the chance to hang out here.
Any tool is what you make of it. I think of Ulysses as a bad outliner the same way I think of Word as a bad spreadsheet.
That's not what either is for.
The trap I fall into with traditional outlines...
That is indeed interesting. Maybe creative people have an extra does of pareidolia, the false recognition of familiar patterns in random noise. Faces on Mars, that sort of thing.
Maybe I should go st...
Outlining is writing in shorthand. It's not dimensionally limited unless the writer is. An outline is a map, not a prison. Dammit, Jim, I'm a writer, not a jailer. You can't hold me responsible for wh...

Ammonite looks very interesting! I'm going to check that out.

I wish Devonthink supported alternate UI's. For example, imagine a graph view like Obsidian.
There is a Devonthink s...

Urgent best wishes to those imperiled by tyranny.
My heart goes out to you.

I completely agree. Transclusion is a key feature for any knowledge system. You get context, it solves "compiling" documents for export, it slices, it dices...
Obsidian keeps catching my eye, even th...
Obsidian is cool. I've got it on a crash-and-burn box.
I wish the graph view had a configurable limit. I've seen situations where a document one hop from the current center is off-screen while docume...
Microsoft OneNote Changes
9/3/2022
Onenote is Microsoft's greatest contribution to writing. I know Word is virtually the only word processor on Earth these days, but Onenote has driven a lot of organized thoughts.
Ever the rebel, it's...
Ixnote a chord graph 'infinite mind map'
8/25/2022
Looks pretty slick. From a brief glance, might be a very worthy replacement for TheBrain.
The concept of the whiteboards adds something TheBrain doesn't have, and makes the map view carry more inform...
I think part of the problem is the Freewrite folks expect you to draft your MS on this with certain specific workflows.
My Neo was always just another general purpose tool. It carried the load when m...
words at war, tracking correspondence
8/22/2022
There are times that try our souls, usually consistent with when legislatures are in session. I must either bang my head against the wall or write letters.
So far, my best idea for tracking correspon...
TheBrain announces version 13
8/19/2022
How is the Mac version in terms of feature parity?
I may need to look again at TheBrain. The navigation is so cool.
As of today, my employer's Teams setup includes a link for "Loop components." Apparently it puts things like lists and paragraphs into the Teams chat that any participant can edit.
Oh, goodie. Now I ...
My guide for new users of Logseq
8/16/2022
I haven't CRIMP'd as much as I should have. I installed Obsidian on a little Windows box I have. In principle Obsidian seems awesome, but it doesn't quite suit my fancy.
I don't think proves a case o...

Kemosabe paints with overly broad forked brush.

Please, please, please let Freewrite have learned the lessons of previous products.
I wish them all the best. Particularly if greater shreds of ...
The Modos Paper (e-ink) Laptop
8/12/2022
Sounds like they have passion behind their projects. That's great. I wish them all the luck.
That's just the sort of hardware I'd buy.
However, I've also found ways to cope with distraction. It's am...
The Function Beyond
8/9/2022
I got interested in the forum handle. It's pretty cool.
22111 is a prime number. If you square it, reverse the order of digits and take the square root of that, you get 11122 which is the original nu...

There were nuggets of interest in some of 22111's posts. He (or she) was out of line in some comments about other contributors here.

Well, drat, now an old rabbit hole calls. I've been messing with property tax reports, mining for scandal (and finding plenty) with a little bit of Python and a lot of peregrination in Easy Data Trans...
Broader musings
8/1/2022
Ha! Exactly what I thought!
The shame is some of his musings are about things like alternate hierarchies, which interest me quite a bit.
I also use some tags for common content, subtags for referenc...

Scrintal looks like a focused Tinderbox - is that a fair assessment?
By "more focused" I mean it appears to do the corkboard/note thing without the backend agents and other automation Tinderbox offer...
