Ah, I did love FoldingText. Mind you, I like Bike too – especially now that Jesse is talking about bringing it to iOS.

Outstanding! Thanks, Maurice, I’ll take a look.
The only thing that still seems peculiarly variable is the insertion/removal of backlinks. But I’ll write to you about that separately.

Seems very competent to me, @tberni! Certainly nothing to apologise for.

Mellel 6 released (Mac only)
12/20/2023
Just to pick up on a couple of points made by @Dormouse:
Sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that the alternatives to Word are all worse – just that they’re not all totally, 100% com...

12/19/2023
Well, anyone working with corporate clients more or less automatically has to use Word. Over the years, I’ve tried replacing Word with other soi-disant Word-compatible apps (StarOffice, OpenOffi...
Evernote free user limits
12/19/2023
Well, UpNote’s been around for quite a while now, and seems to me to be playing a rather clever game in the sense that they’re one of the very few multimedia notetaking apps that’s g...

Just to confirm that UpNote does indeed import .enex files very successfully.

Hm, because it’s you, I might have to become a Testflight user (I stopped using Testflight a little while ago)! I’ll check it out and let you know!

WriteMapper 4 is out for Mac and Windows
12/14/2023
I think Keith’s been pretty clear on its place in the Scrivener constellation – it won’t replace Scrivener, but it’s another tool for people who don’t want/need Scri...

They have enough beta testers for the time being, but it all looks rather exciting. And cross-platform too (come on, Jesse, this is essentially what Bike is about, too, and you’ve already develo...
WriteMapper 4 is out for Mac and Windows

Hm, talking about writing apps, this is an intriguing announcement by Scrivener:
"Before the end of 2024, we’ll be launching a new writing app on macOS, Windows and iOS that will join Scrivene...
Marvellous! Thanks, Maurice, for this update – very reassuring, I’d noticed the data loss issue, which had rather baffled me, but would love to keep using Zavala.
Cheers,
Bill
WriteMapper 4 is out for Mac and Windows
12/13/2023
It’s an easy app to underestimate – the improved mindmapping options alone are interesting, and the full Document View (which is also editable) is extremely useful.
There are niggles: you...
WriteMapper 4 is out for Mac and Windows
12/12/2023
Good one – I haven’t had a chance to give it a really good kicking yet, but I’ve immediately noticed that it still doesn’t have “smart” punctuation (i.e. curly...

This is a very interesting piece of software. It looks like the developer has rewritten it completely, dealing with the weaknesses of the previous version. It has a whole bunch of interesting features...
I'm not really following them, much as I love TiddlyWiki. But here's the latest state of play in the TiddlyWiki-as-alternative-to-Roam-Obsidian space: https://tiddlyroam.org (TiddlyRoam)
Otherwise, w...
Ah, I knew I had an answer for this: Tiddly Research!
You'll find more info (including a downloadable web page) here: https://postkevone.github.io/tiddlyresearch/

Affine.pro is past its growing pains..
11/22/2023
And, after getting quite excited by their pricing (currently very modest for teams in particular), the usual disappointment: the search function is poor.
How people can develop big, sophisticated con...
Well, that's disconcerting – dtSearch used to be the bees' knees for integrated search-plus-preview. But I haven't used it for years (since transitioning to Mac), so maybe it's deteriorated...
Lattics
11/22/2023
I'd agree that Lattics takes a slightly tangential approach to writing, but I do like the total integration and the developers' enthusiasm.
The most disconcerting thing for me is that it really isn't...

... although AnyType already has mobile apps; I notice they're still on Affine's roadmap.

However, Affine is clearly much further down the collaboration road than AnyType is.
Affine.pro is past its growing pains..

Looks interesting – AnyType is trying to do something very similar in the open-source space, of course (anytype.io). After deleting the latter from my system a couple of months ago, recent ...
A critique of tagging
11/7/2023
I used to get grumpy about apps that didn't offer folders but only tags, but I have to say Bear's (and now Obsidian's) nested tags have largely changed my mind. As have the clever (Obsidian) plugins t...

I think it's good that he's changed his mind – or at least, as you say, modified his stance.
I have plenty of respect for people who are prepared to change their opinions. Much less (close...
