Bike Outliner: Adds Row Types
8/9/2023
For a number of reasons it's nice to make maps of content in Devonthink. Bike is probably my new favorite tool for that because it's quick and low friction for editing lists. Devonthink links work fin...
I see Obsidian has just come out with a new properties feature. I think it's just a convenience for editing YAML front matter, but I'm not sure.
@MadAboutDana - have you seen this?

Lotus Organizer was my first personal info manager. After that was the PalmOS desktop app with a Palm Pilot.
I could write Graffiti without looking at the screen almost as fast as I could write on pa...

My impression of both apps just went up. Bravo.

Fun trivia - IBM used Lotus Notes internally until fairly recently and may still use it to this day. I'm not sure.
I am no longer an IBM'er and will neither conform nor deny I ever was one.
No, wait...

SummerFest always features serious performers. Mellel and Devonthink are pivotal in my daily life as is HyperPlan. I use it for projects, sometimes, and it has proven extremely handy for monitoring cy...

Bear 2 - Reactions?

I wish vendors would keep in mind old-school types like me. If an app doesn't work with local storage, maintains a separate file per project, and will let me arrange my own sync via methods I choose t...
Hope you are all well

I was drawn to this forum by the thoughtful and intellectual tone of the conversation. My interest in writer's tools made this place naturally attractive but it wouldn't be the same without the sense ...
The next version of Mellel will support outline export, split screen, dark mode, new index features, and UI polishing.
I set Mellel aside when I first got it because I didn't understand things like l...
Evernote system limits

Is it just my tin ear, or does that reply from Evernote sound like AI?
Nice!
Today I learned a new Devonthink trick. You can put commands in URLs. Search is my favorite.
For instance, I downloaded all of our State statutes (I didn't break any that I know of). In six months th...
Quite agree, in the main. For instance, I like MindNode but would like it a lot more if it supported some PKM-like features. It's handsome enough I keep using it when I want to reach for a mind map.

I uninstalled TheBrain as well, but not without some appreciation and with some ideas how to get more out of Devonthink.
Every document - group, smart group, tag, anything - has an annotation which i...
The deal-killer for me on TheBrain is that Brains are no longer stored in packages or directories. On the Mac they are stored in some manner in ~/Brains. It appears on a casual glance to be sort of on...
This thread and a Tinderbox Meetup video discussing Tinderbox and TheBrain - https://youtu.be/48sTpZ_u6lE - has me revisiting old choices in software.
Generally, such thoughts rarely come to mind, of...
There are some old standards that should get a mention.
- Devonthink
- TheBrain
- Tinderbox
I remain a fan of Curio, too. It takes very low effort to produce notes and thoughts in a polished format....

Seriously, thanks for the tip. I didn't realize that was a convention on Macs.
OutlineEdit is a very pleasant app to use.

Plottr is a cool company. This Wednesday through Friday Plottr is hosting something they are called the Wide Publishing Summit. It's free and Plottr promises no upselling.

OutlineEdit 3 released

The high contrast notes feature is very welcome.
I got OutlineEdit because Devonthink is rude to Bike outlines. If you let Devonthink edit a Bike file, it changes the extension to .html which causes ...
From your TSV output, Easy Data Transform will transmogrify your export to just about anything you want.
I may not use EDT every day but I'm always happy it's there.

Great tip!
Since my first post I've had a case where spaces got confused. The reload spaces feature cured the confusion at the cost of losing all spaces. It didn't lose any files, but my spaces and t...

I don't want to sound overly contrarian, but here's a guess.
Probably many of the Obsidian plugin community are working professionals or are otherwise tied into the ADO/Agile philosophy.
One of the ...

With particular interest in MadaboutDana's ever scholarly opinion, I've found an interesting Obsidian plugin.
Make.md could be better documented, which might actually establish creds in the Obsidian ...
