Ha! Sometime I'll tell you all about MountainDuck! Having said which, I've still got it on my system just in case an update sorts out the various issues (ranging through to extreme system instability)...
Absolutely! The more inventiveness in the information management segment, the better. But I was slightly amused by his lengthy and somewhat earnest disquisition on the nature of information managers; ...
Okay, so I've just discovered a very nice macOS app called CloudMounter. Actually, I'd discovered it before, but bought directly from the developer it's rather expensive. BUT... there's an app store v...
iOS 11 -- a CRIMP is coming on
6/7/2017
I kind of see your point - Contacts could do with a "date modified" field; Calendar is a little clunky, and Reminders is not very good at all.
But they all sync very, very fast, and work perfectly we...

... and poor old Readdle. However, the latter's CEO did say that he hoped Apple was developing something like Files and cross-app drag and drop, because he thought they would be better as system-level...
iOS 11 -- a CRIMP is coming on
6/6/2017
Deffo! As you say, the new iOS is a huge step towards making iPads true laptop/notebook equivalents; Files is particularly exciting.
And yes, I'm glad I didn't invest in a reMarkable - the new 10.5 i...
Gingko Desktop - beta testers wanted
6/5/2017
I dunno; while I think $90 is a bit steep, I'd be prepared to pay pretty good money for a desktop version of Gingko that had the full range of functions of the online version. It's one of the most bri...
Well, I've downloaded and installed Moo.do on my MacBook Pro, and it's brilliant. The whole concept and ease of use: brilliant. I especially LOVE the drag and drop thing, in particular the extraordina...
Excellent news on integration!
That's in Safari (latest version) in compose mode.
It's a bit tragic this nice piece of work doesn't integrate with anything except Google. Are you planning additional integrations, e.g. IMAP? Apple Mail/Reminders/Calendar?
... and in fact it's jammed solid, so I've had to exit from the app. But it's just a bug.
And finally (must get back to work), the "insert link" dialog box in e-mail doesn't vanish if you change your mind. In fact, there doesn't appear to be any way to get rid of it...
Also, I notice that if you change the status of an e-mail to e.g. "NeedsReply", the change isn't automatically propagated to the other panes (e.g. Outline, Calendar).
This really should be changed.
Just one teensy criticism. You can spontaneously click on hashtags to drill down instantly into tagged items, but you can't do the same thing with at-tags (e.g. @today).
If you could, that would mak...
Wow, that's pretty damn cool !
*Love* the little bits that leap in and out of view as you start dragging an item (e.g. an e-mail) from one pane to another (e.g. days/times in Calendar pane)
This sh...
reMarkable Paper Tablet
5/24/2017
Aaaaaargh! Paul and Hugh, you are, of course, right, I've been dreaming of my very own iPad Pro to hold and cuddle and whisper warm things to since they first appeared.
As an inveterate CRIMPer, I su...
reMarkable Paper Tablet
5/24/2017
They talk about OCR in their extensive notes to the product - the reason they're not offering it (yet) is that they haven't found a solution that works well enough. But they're certainly looking at it...
Notes Plus now for iPhone
5/24/2017
Aaargh! You're making me think CRIMP! CRIMP! CRIMP!
I've secretly been ogling iPad Pros (the only ones that work with Pencil, so I know you have one!) for a while now, but can't honestly justify the ...
Things 3 is released
5/22/2017
Judging by the enthusiastic reception, I suspect it will.
As a non-script-oriented person, one of the little things I find nicest about Things 3 is the way you can easily open projects or areas in ne...
Things 3 is released
5/22/2017
For those interested in playing with Things 3, a trial version is available from the Cultured Code website (https://culturedcode.com/things/).
It's a very cleverly designed app - the more I've played...
Things 3 is released
5/22/2017
Things has two different date settings: a "When" date and a "Deadline" date. If you set the "When" date only, it assigns the task to the specified date. So I've got a couple of tasks arranged for Wedn...

5/19/2017
Sorry, no, I'm wrong; Things only supports links to files, not the files themselves. Shame, but at least useful.
Nice review here, incidentally: www.macstories.net/reviews/things-3-beauty-and-delight...
Slidium, by the makers of smartdown
5/19/2017
Interesting new app by the makers of smartdown (Neomobili), which is a pleasant markdown app (alas, Mac only) with folding capabilities (you can fold headings, and it treats subheadings as lower level...

Yo Luhmann,
Having had a little play - and been really rather impressed - I can confirm that Things 3 does indeed support images and any other file you like. You simply drag and drop files into notes...
