Brrrrrr – that is indeed a seriously unwholesome picture. Check out this wonderful Oatmeal cartoon instead... https://theoatmeal.com/comics/believe

Outlining and cloned entries

Hot diggity darn! Treeline is still going – amazing!
Heh, I didn't want to discourage you, sorry! But on the other hand, maybe you need to define exactly what you want this tool for? Is it for learning? Reminding? Giving an already experienced practitio...
I think we can safely say that this software is going to demand a lot of time however you do it.
One important point: There's no way of automatically creating this – you'll have to set up ...
This is actually a very sophisticated requirement – one you'd normally want dedicated software to achieve. Knowing a bit about martial arts myself, I can see a whole lot of ramifications of...
I make do with Apple's own KeyChain nowadays, which is pretty robust.

Upbase - lifetime deal

Wow, I love Coda's search function! That's amazing!
Quite a complex piece of software otherwise, but that probably depends on how one sets it up.

Hm, interesting. I hadn't spotted that pricing option (I'd been looking at the – rather expensive – Team option). Thanks for the reference.
We're also checking out a very new ki...
Upbase - lifetime deal

As it happens, we're looking to upgrade our own wiki/knowledge management system, so your reference to Upbase was very interesting.
But I was disconcerted to find that while Upbase has some very inte...

Well, I agree with you about tablets (I use a very elderly iPad Pro myself), but my solution doesn't involve tablets, it involves cheap smartphones with big batteries.
So yes, a little time required ...
Obsidian Sync

I sync via iCloud, so far without any issues (indeed, at the moment, Obsidian syncs more reliably than Apple's own Notes product, which is somewhat disconcerting! Even though it's using the inferior "...
Tana?

Always worth bearing in mind that Numbers does one-pane outlining (with columns) pretty well too ;-)

Ditto. All desktop versions of Obsidian include a context menu option to "View in Finder/Explorer", meaning you can open your files directly in your local file manager and process them as you wish.

TickTick steadily improves
1/3/2023
The inexorable enhancement of TickTick continues, as it gains GANTT charts.
The app has become probably the most complete task management app of any in existence. You can now view lists of tasks as s...
## I bought the new Pomera DM250

It's a nice device, and I've gazed covetously upon it, but have found a very acceptable and much cheaper alternative!
1) Buy yourself a cheap Android mobile, ideally running not less than Android 11....
New app, Bike

Congratulations, Jesse, on being awarded a "Best App Runner-Up" award by MacStories. Very warm words were said about Bike (link here: https://www.macstories.net/stories/macstories-selects-2022-recogni...

I agree – it's not critical, but it would speed up certain kinds of action, especially in very large documents.
However, I've been experimenting and having some success with "microtags", b...

Okay, having just had a quick play with OutlineEdit, I'd say the main difference between the two is that OutlineEdit is a true outliner – i.e., that's all it does. And it does it very well....

I would prefer not to describe such tools as "better" or "worse" than one another; the philosophy behind OutlineEdit is, I suspect, rather different from that of Bike, which is minimalist by design, a...

Rather impressed by the way internal links in Bike don't just refer to rows, but will also open other files. That is, if you've created a link to a row in another file, you can close that file, and if...

Ah, okay – I didn't spot the "Copy as OPML" option – that's cool.
Useful to know you can also save duplicate files in another format; also slightly unusual.
Thanks for that!
I have to say, it does sound a little overcomplicated to me.
My own setup is rather simpler – I won't say better, because that setup probably works extremely well for the author.
I'm still try...

Ah, yes, that's something that could usefully be added: a simple "Back" key somewhere in the top chrome (or maybe a "Back/Forward" key combination plus an "Up/Down" key combination).
But actually, i...
