Hm, I find OmniOutliner very, very irritating, but appreciate you've probably got a lot of stuff on it!
However, you might want to keep an eye on the wonderful Dashword, the most recent and effective...
Alas, Darren, you're not wrong. Up until recently, it was listed on the Mac App Store (UK), whence I happily downloaded it to install on my new MacBook (the previous one having blown up like a footbal...
You're not wrong. Similarly, I wish there was a way to link not just to sheets, but to individual tables or objects in the various sheets.
It's so nearly amazingly brilliant; a couple of extra detai...
Heh, fair 'nuff – although you can create and use the apps in an iCloud account, even as a Windows user.
Just sayin' ;-)

It does look nice – but it makes me smile.
You can do more or less all the same things with Numbers on macOS / iOS (including the dragging/dropping of paragraphs/items).
And Numbers is also s...

And of course you *can* fold notes, but only from the title – and it's certainly not as easy as it should be (currently you have to use the context menu; once a note title is folded, a more or l...
I'm glad to say that Alfons steadily releases small but often quite significant updates to Notebooks. This sounds like a slightly more major update, which is cool.
One of the great hardy perennials.....
Of COURSE it is... ;-)

I share your doubts concerning the single Ulysses database. I much prefer single files. The reason I like markdown is because of the minimal footprint/maximum accessibility – there are so. many....
Papyrus Author is trying to make itself more competitive by allowing users of the "free" version full access to all the program's many features. The difference between the free and the "plus" versions...
A couple of other apps to add to this: WriteMapper (https://writemapper.com) and TreeSheets (a brilliant, longstanding open-source app based on embedding: https://strlen.com/treesheets/)

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!
22111: I'm still working my way thro...
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 (...

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.

Interesting to hear.
My biggest question remains, however: does Agenda allow you to work in multiple windows?
And the short answer is still: no.

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...
