Workflowy updates their iOS app
3/21/2018
Yes, I've become somewhat disillusioned with the mostly excellent Outlinely as Glam Development cease talking to anyone and fail to release any updates at all. They did exactly the same thing with the...
Making lists from URLs
3/20/2018
Yup, dual outlines, in fact. It's a dual-pane app that can "fold" the contents of the left-hand navigation pane AND the right-hand "editor" pane. It supports markdown, and you can switch off the check...
MindManager back for Mac
3/19/2018
Agree with satis here - setapp was set up specifically for small devs, and I correspond with several of them directly (Manuscript, Timer, Findings et al). There are a couple of more significant compan...
Making lists from URLs

Todoist is a very useful outliner, it must be said, with fantastic cross-platform support.
Otherwise I'd go with washere's recommended simplenote, or else with Joplin, both of which have full cross-p...
New SheetPlanner screen shot

Looks extremely promising, Peter. I'm drooling, anyway.
MindManager back for Mac
3/15/2018
So MindManager 11 is now available for macOS, after dropping out for quite a while following a less than enthusiastic reception for their first Mac product.

Does anyone know iDatabase ?
3/13/2018
I have played with it, but quite a long time ago. From memory, and without exploring the latest version of iDatabase, I believe it's much simpler than TapForms, which is semi-relational and includes a...
Unorthodox/clever software usage?
3/13/2018
Sorry, yes, it hadn't occurred to me that Daly might be talking about external ads -- I use ad blockers of various kinds on all my browsers, so I rarely see ads!
Unorthodox/clever software usage?
3/12/2018
Did you mean Andy's post about HyperPlan, Daly? I don't think that's quite fair: Andy contributes a fair amount to the forum, and his contribution in this case produced an interesting reply from washe...
I'm very pleased with Joplin – it works across my Android phone, iPad, a couple of Macs and a Windows portable. The synchronisation is very efficient (and tells you exactly what's going on, whic...
Ooh, now, I don't agree with that. Well, I do agree, in that the editor is a totally basic text editor, without the hybrid Preview we're all getting used to now thanks to Ulysses, Bear etc.
But Jopli...
Yes, the snippet thing is cool - it's one of the reasons I like Quiver so much, and am so disappointed it hasn't made its way to iOS (well, it has, but it's effectively useless).
I've taken a look at BoostNote, but have to say that open-source Joplin - with its support for GitHub Markdown and Math, backed up by seamless end-to-end encryption - suits my needs much better (but t...
Actually, they cover Android phones as well.
Rats!
Hell and damnation - and after reluctantly investing in Android, I discover a Swiss supplier who specialises in dual-SIM solution for iPhones!
Some brilliant ideas here. I post the link for those who...
Well. I've been playing with Android recently. What?! I hear you cry - Bill, what are you doing, you know you hate Android with a deep and bitter loathing!
Yes, I admit I'm no fan of Android, but I h...
Having said that, it's high time the whole file system interface in all "modern" OSes was upgraded, as I've been arguing for a long time.
You should, after all, just be able to start typing into some...
Oh yes, the joys of the Toshiba 1000 something-or-other! I remember writing an entire user guide with columns, sidebars and illustrations on one of those in WordPerfect 5.2. Those were the days!
Versatil Markdown
2/24/2018
Yes, inevitably perhaps I've played with Versatil, and I agree, it's rather good.
I suppose you could add folding, too, because of its support for HTML/CSS/Bootstrap (the complex note that appears on...
Thanks, Hugh. Yes, I've been reading lots of reviews trying to get a feel for this unusual hybrid. There are plenty of very good YouTube videos, too, giving what appears to be a fairly realistic impre...
I have to humbly admit that I'm very much considering a reMarkable, not just for note taking but also for sketching and reading (I have around 2,000 e-books, not to mention wads of reference texts in ...
Worth pointing out in particular, especially to those who feel the reMarkable is ridiculously restricted, is the fact that it offers layers for annotations/drawing. If you stop and think about it, thi...
Interesting. Funnily enough, the new reMarkable tablet has just fallen in price from its previously eye-watering EUR 700 or so to a still eye-watering but slightly more reasonable EUR 499 (including t...
Simplenote
2/21/2018
Yes, interesting one, Paul - it's positively identified a few Markdown notes (synced with other apps), but failed to identify a few more.
Ah well, work in progress - and pretty cool for free.
