Excellent! Thanks, Maurice – nested tags is one of the best possible ways to organise stuff (as you say, using them is entirely optional!). Great decision!

I’m a bit baffled by Loop. I joined and had a play a few months ago, but was appalled to find that the Search function was almost totally useless. Otherwise, Loop is a very attractive environmen...
Bike Outliner: Adds Row Types
6/5/2024
Just wanted to update this topic to sing out in praise of Jesse’s Bike outliner, which has steadily evolved into one of the most impressive writing tools out there.
I’ve just been revisit...
Ah yes, of course – I’d totally forgotten about Outline mode! I’ll give that a go straight away!
Cheers!

Heh, initially I tried the Jesse Grosjean approach, copying and pasting the entire text of Moby Dick into one outline. This didn’t work, because the text was pasted as a single outline item (rat...
I’m just about to test some longer text (so I can check out the Typewriter feature), but in the meantime, am (very) impressed by:
a) the enormously improved speed of switching between outlines ...

... and on Mac, I suspect you’d be looking primarily at EagleFiler and DEVONthink Office (or on the pure search engine front, FoxTrot Pro or even HoudahSpot).

Ah, I’m afraid AnyType is my latest fascination (in the endless CRIMPing round that is life). So far, it’s impressed me very much – a kind of personal version of Notion. Once yo...
Sorry, Maurice, I meant to reply to your e-mail – yes, switching from one outline to another is MUCH faster! Bravo!
On the other hand, backlinks are still showing a distressing tendency to...
Work-Alike Alternative To Dynalist
4/3/2024
Ah, sorry, I had forgotten. Yes, it does indeed store your data locally, albeit in fully encrypted format. You retain total control of your data, but it is automatically backed up to AnyType’s s...

Ah, I have spotted the flaw, however: AnyType keeps your data online; I’m not sure it’s possible to work on a local data file. Need to check!

The other advantage of AnyType is that you can move any paragraph of text (a “block” in AnyType-speak – and indeed in e.g. Craft-speak) to any other note or “object" you c...
Work-Alike Alternative To Dynalist

Yep, just imported the entire text of Moby Dick (1.2 MB of markdown text) into an AnyType note, and barely slowed it down at all. The search function is also able to spot all 85 instances of “Mo...

I still have to run the “Jesse” test and see how much data any single note/outline can manage... will Moby Dick remain fast and responsive in a single note? I’ll let you know!

I’ve just discovered the very easy shortcut for turning any piece of AnyType text into the beginning of an outline:

Actually, the folding/outline function is extremely powerful R...

Well now, AnyType isn’t the most immediately intuitive app out there, but actually, it’s immensely powerful, and they’ve recently introduced a “toggle” feature (accessed,...

Again, do check out LiquidText, which allows you to pull together notes from multiple PDFs in a single document (PDF) consisting of notes and excerpts.
Yes, I’d have to agree
Actually, I’d forgotten about LiquidText, which is also available for Windows. It uses a slightly different model from MarginNote, but does much the same thing: https://www.liquidtext.net
Heh, if you were working on Mac/iPad, I’d recommend MarginNote (marginnote.com), but I’m not aware of an equivalent on Windows.
Obsidian vs Logseq conundrum
3/14/2024
It’s well worth trying Tangent on the same data repository; that works very well, and it’s much less “weighty” than Obsidian, while having some very nice knowledge management f...
