The current version of OmniOutliner won't run on my old Mac. OutlineEdit may not be a viable alternative for the long haul. Bike is wonderful, but I have a wandering eye.
So, I've been outlining with...
OutlineEdit 3 released
11/28/2024
I regret to note OutlineEdit is no longer in the Apple App store. I believe this one fell by the wayside.
Hopefully, I'm wrong. It was pleasant to use.
Any year-end or Black Friday deals?

Devonthink and related products are 25% off this weekend.
MindNode Classic, and now MindNode Next
11/27/2024
Sounds like MindNode Classic will continue to serve.
I use it in outline mode at least as much as MindMap view. One thing I like about it as an outliner is I can add newlines in the notes for a node ...

Mellel (Mac only word processor) is on sale for 30% off. Regularly $69.99, now $48.99. You can bundle Bookends with Mellel for a total of $80.49 for both,
It's not like Word. You can use it like a si...

That's good to hear, Paul. Thanks for the clarification.
Note to self - "investigate" before "grumpy" next time. ;-)

I'm always nervous when an app doesn't say up front whether or not it depends on cloud support. It's a personal failing. I don't want the possibility of anyone seeing any of my creative writing in pro...

The Affinity products, Affinity Publisher, Affinity Designer, and Affinity Photo, are 50% off for black Friday.
For about the cost of one month of Adobe Creative Cloud, you may find you can have ever...
Text Block Author

I got Writer's Blocks many years ago. It was the first app of that sort I found. I have fond memories of it, perhaps in part because of the soft focus of time.
Speaking quietly, sometimes I don't use...
That's a nice update to iA Writer.
I've recently done some outlining with my word processor. I use (Mac only) Mellel, which I think handled the task nicely. Many word processors would work as well.
...
I could be wrong, but I think Mellel Mobile has three tiers. Free, with some limitations about document length and I think the Bookends integration is turned off.
Premium, which is a one-time purchas...

Agreed, Obsidian's extensibility is cool.
It seems a little complex to write an extension, though, and that is what draws me toward Tinderbox. It's pretty easy to write agents.
I confess I'm not a f...

Lineage looks very interesting and it has the benefits of Obsidian's low friction. Very timely suggestion, actually. Over the last few weeks I've been outlining/story planning with a similar method in...

WordStar lost me when it became WordStar 2000. Then came WordPerfect. It seemed like the one true word processor at the time. I hardwired all 40 (!) variants of the ten function keys with control, alt...

Thanks, MadaboutDana - I read a description and The Laundry Files sound fascinating.
Regarding rage against the candle burning low, I've recently redeveloped an interest in math.

Well, that could have been a little cheerier.
It's been a while since I looked at databases on my Mac.
Libre Base is tantalizing, but in my experience it isn't as stable as I'd like.
Ninox is pretty, but I don't like their homegrown language.
...
Hope this project flourishes. It's always nicer to have some kind of dashboard or control panel over just a bunch of calendar entries, to-do tasks, and files.
The elephant in the room: AI

AI integration could push me away from my Mac systems. I would hate to migrate out of Devonthink. Mellel is my happy place. Linux is a happy place, too. I use Macs by choice, not necessity.

Curio 28 has been released (Mac only)
6/22/2024
Curio 29 is out and it's really neat for certain purposes.
It's still not a document library on par with Devonthink. Tinderbox can do more automation than Curio, although Curio now has queries. I'll ...

Hey, Andy - I haven't darkened your virtual door in a while. Great to see you.
Both your applications are most useful.

Invasive ads

I've seen the same format ads appear on other sites. They may be something injected by the hosting company, not our benefactor here.
Preferred data/attributes in OPML files

The option sounds nice. Aeon Timeline supports something similar for CSV import. A window listing columns in the CSV allows mapping to any desired Aeon attribute.
Obsidian vs Logseq conundrum
4/13/2024
This is one of the things I found useful about TheBrain. Any node (thought) can have existing nodes as children, parents, or "jump" nodes.
