Another new app
10/29/2020
The developer has also offered his support to anybody interested in further developing the open-source code.
His final, now open-sourced executable is available for Windows, Mac and Linux here: https...
Another new app
10/29/2020
Wow, that’s a tad cynical, especially since he’s open-sourced the code – and is offering refunds.
Washere, you frequently make nasty, knee-jerk comments about developers. They detra...
(The)BrainDead? (Hopefully not yet)
10/27/2020
Ah dear, poor old chap – I’ve confused Obsidian with Life Notes. Sorry about that!
Life Notes in its current beta form is also well worth a look, although it’s not yet as polished a...
(The)BrainDead? (Hopefully not yet)
10/27/2020
I’m running Obsidian on macOS, where it works very well. Some fascinating features, including their table report and summary report concepts (both based on tags – a genuinely innovative wa...
I tend to print off articles etc. I find useful to PDF, saving them to a folder/set of folders indexed by FoxTrot Pro. I did use Curiota (macOS), the rather nice free app provided by the developer of ...
infoqube update
10/21/2020
Dang, Pierre, that’s impressive. I loved your summary of InfoQube’s features, too – a very helpful way of looking at it.
Keep up the good – and amazingly consistent ̵...
Docxmanager, looks nice
10/21/2020
Good for you, Edwin – what a refreshingly honest, straight-from-the-shoulder update.
I’m impressed!
Best wishes,
Bill
Roam Patrol!
10/19/2020
Meanwhile, back to Roam-ing software:
there’s some passionate enthusiasm for Obsidian over on Effective Remote Work (https://effectiveremotework.com), including a dedicated course and tips on c...
Roam Patrol!
10/13/2020
Ditto for FoxTrot Pro, for identical reasons: less app-dependency, more flexibility. Similarly, I’ve moved away from favourites like Ulysses and Scrivener to markdown apps for all my notekeeping...
MacJournal 7
10/7/2020
Yep, I’m running on Catalina, and MacJournal is running on it with no problems at all. I suspect Dan doesn’t always bother to update the background details.
I was trying to think of a com...
MacJournal 7
10/6/2020
Just a quick note to let people know that the ridiculously powerful MacJournal is still being updated, and is still free to download (from Dan Schimpf’s website at https://danschimpf.com). It...
E-mail backup for Mac users
9/21/2020
Yes, I did contemplate doing that, in fact, because DevonThink is so powerful.
It’s still an option, in fact, not least because of its useful web server (although the price for the latter has ...
E-mail backup for Mac users
9/21/2020
I thought I’d update people on our quest for a competent e-mail backup app that isn’t MailStore (MailStore is by far the best option for Windows users!).
We’ve had a very frustratin...
TiddlyResearch
9/6/2020
Thanks, Luhmann. This is a rather good version of TiddlyWiki, once you get used to the fairly significant differences (required tags, in-note editing).
Cheers,
Bill
As I use it in anger, I’ve come across quite a few minor but slightly annoying niggles/bugs. Having said that, the app is brand-new, so kudos to the developer for getting so many things right.
...
… and of course Dr Andus’s reply totally justifies the CRIMPing approach ;-)
So I’m with you, doc!
Top 5 Roam Alternatives
9/6/2020
Do take a look at x3Note, which is on both the Mac App and App Stores. It’s capable of emulating Workflowy and Dynalist, although there are still some rough edges. It also has a good go at being...
Just when you think the whole note-taking/information management thing is dying down/consolidating on just a few large companies, you discover something brand-new that quite restores your faith in the...
Relanote- early days!
8/11/2020
Whoa, I always love a good joing… gonna have to check that out!
CintaNotes attachments
8/11/2020
Fascinating that it managed to compress PDF files to that extent – that’s really very efficient.
Hm, nice idea, I must say.
The two macOS apps that would fit the bill most nearly are Curio (alas, macOS only) and Numbers (also available as an online app).
Curio is rapidly evolving into something...
Obsidian in public beta
8/6/2020
Ah, that’s a good idea, Paul – I already use iaWriter as a helpful all-in-one solution for various other desktop-only markdown apps. Thanks!
Yes, Obsidian is actually amazing; I had ...
Obsidian in public beta
8/5/2020
Bringing things back to Obsidian again – wow, this is really quite impressive! Not available for iPadOS just yet, alas, but the desktop version is amazing. It’s got pretty much everything ...
Lack of up-to-date outliners
8/3/2020
Oh, sorry, missed the “non-Cloud” criterion.
I’d definitely endorse RightNote – I used it all the time when I was on Windows.
Also interesting is EssentialPIM. It’...
Taskade
8/3/2020
Nice blog post on use of Taskade as a group Zettelkasten solution – I though it was rather good. It’s got wider/more general application too, of course.
