Going with what you know
6/30/2021
I agree with @satis: iCloud is extremely convenient, and I use it all the time.
But I can’t use it with an Android phone (or well, I can, if I use it in a web browser, but… clunky!).
So ...
Web Clipper

Interesting: Joplin and UpNote also have Firefox extensions. I too have installed SingleFile!

Thanks, Sarah – no particular virtue on my part, just an ongoing curiosity about all the technology that’s not in my immediate sphere of reference; but sometimes (often unexpectedly, as in...
Web Clipper

There are several nice options on macOS: Bear, Quiver, UpNote all have great clippers (Bear’s is especially good).
It’s also worth checking out the Evernote clipper (available for most br...

Well, I have an amusing admission. Living in France as I do, but with a business still in the UK, I had two iPhones for my two phone accounts.
Silly!
So I looked into upgrading to an iPhone XR (the...

Sounds like you ought to take a look at Notion (notion.so), especially if you want all members of the company to be able to contribute.
It’s deceptive: Notion can be as complex as you want it t...
Nice to see Zavala out in the big wide world!
I’ve been using the beta version for a while, and find it an excellent alternative to e.g. Dynalist or Workflowy.
Cheers!

A significant development with Craft

Can I just check exactly what you mean by “toggles”? Do you mean the ability to toggle e.g. page headers, hero graphics etc. on/off? Or do you mean the ability to embed folding outlines in...

No, quite right, I can’t relate to that… ;-)
Nice description of Craft’s strengths (and weaknesses). The pace of development remains very impressive, especially for an app that does...
PDFDiff for Mac
6/9/2021
Yes, that’s right, Mr Jaehrling is the developer.
Ah, I see what you mean, there are a few apps with PDF Diff somewhere in the name. One of the more irritating aspects of the App Store, I find...
PDFDiff for Mac
6/7/2021
Yo folks, just a quickie that’s tangentially relevant to outliners, but especially to citation apps or equivalent.
I’m just testing out a new app for macOS called PDFDiff (available from ...
WriteMapper 3

Agreed. The other shortcomings I pointed out to the developer were as follows:
Yep, okay, there's markdown. But...
- there’s no smart punctuation – in a writing app!
- there’s no su...
Hm, I’m sorry you had a disappointing experience, @moritz. I use NotePlan every day for my personal task management, and the symptoms you’ve described there are definitely unusual. Setting...

The only downside to the backlinks feature is that it treats each “block” as a page, so you only see backlinks to a block (paragraph) if you “go inside” the block (as Craft use...

Having said all that about transclusion, I’ve also been experimenting with Craft’s internal links. And they are also very impressive.
Craft recently made it very easy to link directly to...

Heh, I confess I’ve just been playing with the Calendar feature, which is very well conceived. Especially impressive is the ability to create an instant “meeting notes” subdocument f...
UpNote continues to improve
5/27/2021
Also worth mentioning that UpNote has now put bidirectional links in the Info sidebar, à la Obsidian, which is a much better place for them (previously, they were in a dropdown menu).
So you ca...

Craft is wonderful, but as I’ve been using it more in anger, I’ve found there are limitations to the nesting approach, especially in terms of convenient overview. For laying out ideas, it&...
Taskade

Impressive pace of development, I must say.
UpNote continues to improve

It’s worth pointing out that the new table of contents feature works particularly well with imported web pages (clipped using the UpNote Web Clipper extension).

Dang, hadn’t spotted that one – works really well. Nice implementation, too (under other document info like created/modified dates and statistics, but all folding).

True, but as the article you quote points out, there are certain limitations.
But you make a fair point ;-)

Ha, interesting. It must be said, I use the desktop app as my primary version; I hadn’t considered the limitations of the iOS app.
Fascinating how many developers underestimate the importance o...

Couple of points here, just for info:
Bear’s search function is exceptionally good – general searches automatically extend to individual notes and highlight search terms in those notes a...
Hm. Well, I love the enthusiasm and the meta-Shakespeare. Not quite so sure about the concept, to be honest… ;-)
