Hm, this is inspired and precisely true.
I strongly feel that this precept should be added to the definition of CRIMPing!
Cheers!

Dang, that’s useful – I must try it out. What a great idea.
As for indent/outdent: like many others, I automatically use tab/shift-tab rather than OmniOutliner’s (idiosyncratic...

Thanks, washere – interesting to see Android progress here, too.

This exchange caused me to go back and take another look at a piece of software I experimented with many years ago: EssentialPIM (available for Windows, Android, iOS), a very capable three-pane outlin...
I like the interface revisions – all a big step forward, IMHO.
Cheers,

Nice one, Maurice, especially the Shortcuts compatibility and the forward/back buttons – funnily enough, I was going to write to you suggesting that!
Brilliant. I’ll look forward to playi...
I’ve just been reminded by my weekly NessLabs newsletter that Anne-Laure Le Cunff has lots of useful tips on brain organising/stimulating apps. In fact, she writes well and generously on a whole...

Brainstorming tools

That’s one of the ones I tried: IdeaFisher! I did try it out, but really… the human mind just doesn’t work like that. Trying to generate ideas by ticking boxes? The results are, pred...
Brainstorming tools

Ah, the famous “first, you must ask the right question” conundrum (cf. “I, Robot” – the film, not the original Asimov book)
You could, of course, use brainstorming preci...

Heh, love it.
I like UpDate very much, and would recommend a lifetime purchase – it’s a very flexible app under constant development, and the developer is very responsive to suggestions ...
Brainstorming tools

Brainstorming is a great activity, but as multiple studies have shown, brainstorming around a table – especially in corporate groups – is not always productive.
More productive, it a...
Ha, yes, everything you say is spot on. We experimented with SharePoint a few years ago, and after desperately trying to control the efflorescence, I finally gave up and sacked it.
We even had a spec...
I use it as my regular backup system now, running on a Mac Mini; it’s very reliable and picks up e-mail at least as well as any of the (many) e-mail clients I’ve experimented with over the...
Anybody Using Notetaker?

I have NoteTaker, but to be honest never use it. I’m much more likely to use either Evernote (excellent web clipper), UpNote (also very good web clipper) or Bear (good web clipper) to save web p...

He's a gifted guy, but very frustrating. The latest version of TaskPaper was amazing (AND a very good outliner, what's more!), but no iOS version, no roadmap... grrrr.

It's a fascinating problem, especially for small businesses without dedicated IT departments.
I looked into this at great length back in the early 2000s, and concluded that Novell GroupWise would ind...
Notion.io is my new favorite

I do like Notion – very much – but you've hit the nail on the head: always beware of an app where you may end up spending more time playing with the ingenious possibilities offered by the ...

Dashword is looking good – and making steady progress.

Heh, sorry! But yes, it does boil down to a philosophical issue, perhaps, and Zavala is similar to Outlinely, in that it positively encourages one to create lots of outlines sitting together in one bi...
As a Zavala user, I think this is an interesting idea.
I like the focus option too, mind you, simply because it often serves to focus the mind – you don't necessarily want to change the st...
