For those seeking a nice, cheap replacement for Ulysses (on macOS) that does the same concatenation thing that Steve's just been trying to describe, Novellus is a good option (and has very good gramma...
Sorry, I misreported the Fairphone operating system – while they do use a "clean" version of Android, it's still a Google-approved one.
To go totally Google-free, you can opt for a phone from ...
Nice one, Dormouse – I'm grateful for the reference to Inspire Writer, which I'd never heard of but is clearly inspired by Ulysses. Great for Windows users!

My dear chap, you've just written rather a lot of judgemental stuff based entirely on your assumptions of how Ulysses works.
If I may say so, that's quite simply poor practice. Unless you've actually...
New app, Bike
4/19/2022
And Bike is a significant comedown on FoldingText: no rich text, no search function... I'm not sure why he's bothered, to be honest.
Yep, loved @Dellu's thoughts on "why take notes at all?" – it's a question I regularly ask myself as I work through my thousands of notes and delete most of them.
Of course you change, and so d...

Hey @Steve, I entirely agree about the growing gap between users and technology (my wife used to service her old Mini Cooper back in the day, to the extent of regularly winching the engine out of the ...

I think 22111's divagations have raised an interesting point about user inertia. The simple truth is, the easier it is to use an operating system, the less technical awareness is required.
Long befor...

Okay, no, I'm sorry, I don't agree with the – despite all the complexity of your prose – simplistic labelling of Apple as a totem or cult.
Something I've mentioned before on this forum, b...

Some interesting thoughts in the midst of that cloud of wide-ranging reflections.
I think you answer your own question, in fact. Scrivener is a tool developed for a specific purpose: writing a book (...
Agenda

Sorry, Steve, I was thinking laterally there – I shouldn't have implied that Lattics was comparable with Agenda, it was just the interface issue/comparison that intrigued me.
Following your/@tb...
Agenda

Interesting to hear.
My biggest question remains, however: does Agenda allow you to work in multiple windows?
And the short answer is still: no.
I've just been experimenting with another interestin...
Replacing Everything with Logseq
4/1/2022
Fascinating, @Luhmann – thanks for that. Yes, I can see how that would work in LogSeq, although I've not spent very much time with it.
I'd love to see Craft do the "block embedding" thing (tran...
There are plenty of macOS/iOS apps for taking notes aligned with audio streams (the best known are probably Noted and Notability), but I'm not sure about video.
Actually, I lie. A brief search has re...
He's going to roam from Roam

Having just been playing with LogSeq, I wouldn't disagree. Embedding blocks (or even entire pages) has all sorts of possibilities – and, as you imply, is also bloody good fun!

Wow, just been playing with LogSeq for a couple of minutes – already rather impressed by the handling of backlinks ("linked and unlinked references").
It would be nice if it used folders, too, ...
I haven't had time to really assess it in depth, but it does look nice, I must say.

Thanks, Maurice! I assumed it was me copying and pasting Notes items directly into Zavala (I usually go through a text filter, but was being lazy!)
I've installed the update and Zavala's working very...
Just to reassure people using Zavala – I was able to blow away the file that was causing the crash by nuking it in the Library. I could probably have corrected it in a text editor (by remov...
Thank you all for your supportive posts! It's very much appreciated.
The angst, as you've all clearly realised, is very real. Finding precisely the right combination of low-friction characteristics &...
I have been reflecting, as a confirmed and obsessive CRIMPer, on the nature of task management.
What a cornucopia of wonderful apps there are out there. So. Many. Ways. To. Manage. Your. Life!
And I...
Roam v. Obsidian

Thanks for the update, @Anthony – it's prompted me to read the article and take a good look at LogSeq (although their little questionnaire-thingy decided to assign me to the Obsidian group and t...
My Medium article about Legend

Yo Jay,
Thanks very much for joining the forum – great stuff!
First – it’s a great app. But unlike other outlining apps (which is effectively what Legend is), it doesn...
Sorry, @Smithers, just seen this.
Similar apps include e.g. Summuray, Highlights, Caleo, OnlineObjects (primarily for web), MarginNote, LiquidText, PDF Master by Diigo (and that’s just off the ...
OutlineEdit 3 released
2/18/2022
Bravo Robin, I liked OutlineEdit before, and have already downloaded the trial.
But – important question, sorry! – are you also planning an iOS version (I know, I know, I ask you every ti...
