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...

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 ...

You may have The One True Outliner, but what of workflows? Organization within your use case?
The world must follow your efforts!

Well, Obsidian can be used for free for commercial purposes in certain environments.
From the current Obsidian site:
You need to pay for Obsidian if and only if you use it to contribute, directly or...
Doh!!!
Yes, works perfectly.
Obsidian's built in and community outlining is limited. Bike is better.
My opinion, of course, and from a mere hack, not a real writer.

Obsidian hits a perfect target. It's a framework for notes with a flexible API.
I think my favorite outlining in Obsidian would be with a Bike file in the Obsidian vault. Bike's hyperlinks feature wo...

Looks like the tip jar works. I'll keep it in mind for future months.

Sometimes, you don't have the options you'd like.
I appreciate your hospitality and the fine intellectual discussion found on your site.
All the best - should you post an online tip jar, I'll contri...

Thank you both for your kind words.

Dear 22111,
You are free to ignore my advice, as I am to decline yours. Strewn here to either trample or appreciate as the spirit moves you are a couple of suggestions.
