HostPapa i.e. "ConnectedText"
4/5/2023
Dear 22111,
I clearly have a writer's thick skin for bad reviews. You suggest that I am common and should set aside my word processor. I am unbothered. It's truly OK. I win some, I lose some, I have ...
HostPapa i.e. "ConnectedText"
4/5/2023
There is no evidence the domain has been stolen. Whois says the domain was last updated in August of last year and it expires in August of 23.
The hosting account appears to have an issue, such as an...
Obsidian with Web Apps

Disclaimer - I haven't used this, but it looks cool.
On my list of things to try is Pelican, a Python static website generator.
Input is Markdown, so it should be able to feed off of a subdirectory ...
Friction vs. Features
3/29/2023
A related issue, the quickest way I can kill a story idea is to tell someone what I'm thinking about writing.
It's axiomatic. All tentative story ideas - mine, anyway - sound dumb. The good ones and ...
SheetPlanner 4.0 Beta Test

Sounds intriguing. What do you see in the boards?

I think MacSE is concerned about spam, and that's quite valid. In the case of the developers who post here it seems to be more open communication than sales pitch.
If a vendor did a drive-by advertis...
Curio 25 released
3/20/2023
Looping back on Curio, I've discovered an interesting workflow.
I like the idea of notes flying in close formation. If I make a note about a magic lantern in chapter 1, I want another instance of tha...
Good advice.

In Andy's Work Breakdown example, I can have a card for each chapter or story beat, related to cards for things of interest. That would be like a WBS chart w...
Friction vs. Features
3/18/2023
Some friction can be eliminated with helper apps, like Keyboard Maestro or AutoHotkey. I don't mind an application benefitting from a little automation. KM is universally useful, so if an app needs th...
Curio 25 released
3/15/2023
You are quite right. That's a blind spot I have. For reasons of obstinance I don't use cloud sync, and my mobile writing is all on a Macbook.
I tend not to notice if an app has a mobile version, so m...
Curio 25 released
3/15/2023
Use cases make all the difference. I prefer mind mapping in Curio over MindNode, for example. Curio is more flexible in linking and I can put other forms of notes side-by-side with a mind map. The fol...
That's a pretty cool idea. I bet you could do something similar with Dataview in Obsidian, or with a map of content in almost anything.
The layers concept sounds a little like versioning, although I ...
Curio 25 released
3/14/2023
I'm very much looking forward to exploring this. Among other things, Curio now has a query language which will, if I understand correctly, build collections of links as mind maps or Kanban-style stack...
Update to Bike

Yes, here's hoping certain history doesn't repeat. Bike is endearing in its simplicity.

Update to Bike

Version 1.9 is out. There are statistics and focus navigation, new scrolling options, and nice features.
The new focus navigation menu may cause some confusion. It did for me, anyway.
You have to fo...

As many generations of my family were wont to say, 22111, them's fightin' words.
The rest of this post voluntarily redacted. It's a good thing, to rant, fulminate, and to defend good people.
But it ...
C'mon, man, please leave room for others having experience you would benefit from.
Sqlite is a database with limitations. It's great within those limits. Easy Data Transform is an analysis tool with ...
Regarding Hyper Plan as an outliner, I have not used it as a writing tool for some time - but I use it daily for personal management and it saves my bacon regularly.
I have a Hyper Plan file as a war...
Hang on a sec.
Whining? Andy? Hardly. He isn't in competition with Scrivener. He just made a business observation.
Andy's Hyperplan works well as a replacement for Plottr. Set attributes for plot th...
Well, personally, I don't know Mr. Brice. I just buy his software for a fraction of what it's worth and exploit the crud out of it for personal gain. :-)

Great tool, and L&L's policy is to offer either free upgrades across major versions or upgrades at good discounts, no matter how old a license is.

Obsidian with Web Apps
2/21/2023
I have Devonthink's server edition and tried to paste the DT web address in an Obsidian canvas.
My guess is Obsidian didn't like my self-signed cert. When I have more time I'll try setting DT up for ...
Devonthink will do this, although you have to take steps to preserve manual sort order.
Create a smart group (filter, sort of). Tell it to search in the group (folder) you're interested in for things...
Thank you. I feel much better already.
