Hi @Hugh and @Alex,
Wow, I wasn’t expecting a relatively innocuous remark about the dangers of subscription services to arouse such political furore.
But my point, while not intended to be pol...
You just have to feel sorry for all those Adobe users in Venezuela:

That’s why so many of us here are trying to move aw...
Hi Darren,
Sounds like an interesting query! But it would be useful to know more about your working environment. It sounds as if you prefer to work on iPad (any particular type? Always interesting to...
a few thoughts about infoqube

Dear Pierre,
I’m so sorry. What I wrote was supposed to be mildly ironic, light-hearted fun, acknowledging the very difficult experience of being an independent developer. I didn’t mean t...

… and that’s why I keep asking Pierre to produce a Mac version (oh, and an iOS version, too, Pierre, please).
What? You’re a solo developer? Pshaw, what kind of excuse is that!!! ;...
Manuscripts now free!
10/17/2019
Just had an interesting update from Manuscripts. Version 2.0 has now been released as a collaborative web platform, with desktop versions on their way.
They’re really gunning for conventional w...

Noteplan 2.0 is here, on time
10/16/2019
The standard approach to @ vs. # is very much as described by Paul; @ indicates people, places, while # indicates actions.
I’ve chosen a slightly different approach for tags: I use @ for action...
Noteplan 2.0 is here, on time
10/15/2019
Lovely update to NotePlan brings a Global Search function (searches happen across Calendar and Notes) and a very nice nested tags function (very similar to Bear’s).
Both functions significantly...
Agenda
10/10/2019
I also use NotePlan rather than Agenda. For a number of reasons; first, it uses simple text files that can be indexed by Spotlight, FoxTrot or other indexing engines (and, of course, directly accessed...
Oh yeah, Windows only… sorry!

I agree - there’s loads of stuff in there; not always located in entirely logical places, but once you start sniffing around, internally quite consistent.
The one thing I’m slightly sad a...
You could always experiment with AquaMinds NoteTaker 4 ;-)
Yes, it does generate complete websites; it even appears to include a search function. I haven’t had a chance to experiment with this ...

Tell yer wot, the import/export options are extensive. You have to read the User Guide to check out the full list, but it includes e.g. OPML, PDFs etc.
The one surprising thing missing from export is...

Aaaaand… I’ve succumbed to temptation. Not least because NoteTaker is the closest thing on macOS to RightNote, one of my very favourite Windows notetakers.
Well, I’m not sorry. Ther...
In its day, it was quite cool, but it hasn’t been developed or updated for several years. There are many much better options now (I’m happy to recommend some if you’re interested).

To be fair, Pages has gradually reacquired many/most of the features that were suddenly (and unexpectedly) removed.
But it’s not my favourite word processor, even though it’s pretty power...

For reference purposes, it’s also worth taking a look at Ilaro (not well known, but in constant development).
And I’d second PDF Expert for editing PDFs; it does a very nice job. Just one...

Hi Alexander,
Ah, I have a somewhat idiosyncratic approach to my own writing - while I use integrated third-party spellcheckers (such as PopClip; macOS only), I also use a variety of tools to double-...
RFC - New Software Project: Infosqueezer
9/13/2019
Well, good for you, Lothar - I think this sounds like an exciting and desirable concept.
You might want to take a look at Ilaro on macOS/iOS, a rather neat research/reference management app (with som...

… just to add to my last update on WonderPen, I’ve just discovered the little shirt-shaped icon in the bottom status bar, which allows you to customise the font colour, width of the docume...

I’m toying with a purchase; I used to love the old version, although it was horribly unstable. I like the look of some of the new features very much.
But: no iOS version… no trial version...

Hi Satis, just a couple of updates:

Sorry, I have been inaccurate in my description - WonderPen *does* import images into its own library.
The PDF export is especially impressive – detailed, crisp, precise, unlike some competito...
