I've noticed the double-posting glitch generally happens over slow internet connections. No idea why that should be, but it's not a major issue.

Scrivener 3 is on the way… 11/30/2017

Good grief, Scrivener goes WAY beyond just being a writing tool - it's a complete knowledge management system. What with the extensive possibilities for modifying labels, keywords, status etc. of ever...

So, is ConnectedText really dead now? 11/29/2017

Hm, well, while it looks good, it suffers from the total lack of a search function... if you want simple but highly functional, I'd go with TiddlyWiki, myself. But much will depend on the quantities o...

Tell us about your book 11/29/2017

Damn, I'm so impressed by all these unexpected authors. Bravo, everybody!

Scrivener 3 is on the way… 11/29/2017

Cool! I hadn't noticed that, either, but now you've pointed it out, I'm even more impressed!

Scrivener 3 is on the way… 11/28/2017

I'm truly impressed by version 3.0. It's a lovely, subtle but comprehensive rework of an already very powerful app. I've been playing with the trial version, having barely used the earlier Scrivener ...

Apple Wiki 11/7/2017

Ah, well, I have to confess that it never really took off to the extent I hoped it would. Colleagues continue to prefer our (now very outdated) Kerio Workspace setup, based on the excellent original...

Current state of iOS/macOS outliners 11/7/2017

Thanks for the reminder about iThoughts, Paul - yes, it is quite impressive, and remarkably flexible, too. I've been playing (again), and although I prefer Outlinely for sheer speed and convenience (i...

Current state of iOS/macOS outliners 11/6/2017

Yes, I love TrunkNotes, and remain baffled as to why there isn't a desktop version. But it's a wonderful iOS app. If I spent all day working on an iPad, I'd use it much more than I do. Having said th...

Current state of iOS/macOS outliners 11/5/2017

Yes, I think the true value of outliners only really becomes apparent when you can use them across multiple platforms. Actually, having just run another experiment with OmniOutliner, I have to say it...

Current state of iOS/macOS outliners 11/5/2017

I'm fond of Outlinely, and use it a lot, but I've sent them a list of things that really do need to be improved. Glam Development have a history of going very quiet for months at a time. It's very ir...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/29/2017

Sorry, Hugh - yes, quite right, notion.so And you might want to take a quick look at www.nuclino.com, which is similar, but possibly even simpler in concept. I rather like it! @Dr Andus The transfe...

Process Documentation? 10/26/2017

Hi Garland, I've just found another piece of software that might suit your circumstances. It's a rather neat wiki concept called Nuclino (www.nuclino.com); the basic version doesn't cost anything, a...

Interestingly, Ulysses also produces separate files which are included in Spotlight searches.

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/23/2017

Hm, I fear a system-wide search wouldn't be helpful with TiddlyWiki, because despite the fact that each tiddler *appears* to be a separate note, they're actually all written into the single (enormous,...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/19/2017

Sorry, Prion, I realise I mixed up this thread with the process management thread! I do apologise. Quiver as alternative to wiki - maybe, but it's very much not there yet; not until it's got a proper...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/19/2017

Well, that's the point - I absolutely agree with you about Quiver, it's one of my favourites, if the iOS app was as good as the desktop one, it'd be my go-to info management app. But that's not what ...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/18/2017

Na, Quiver isn't an online solution, although it's a great macOS app. Quip is very much an online solution, but with desktop/mobile apps as well (quip.com)

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/18/2017

I've not had the updated title issue - whenever I change a tiddler's name, my version of TW5 asks me if I wish to update all crosslinks across the wiki, and then does so. Maybe it's a version thing? ...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/17/2017

Hm, odd about your Quine issues: I've happily swapped between Dropbox and iCloud without any problems. But it's still an early version!

Process Documentation? 10/13/2017

I like the look of Cacoo, I must say. From the original description of the need, I felt that text descriptions played a fairly important part in what Garland is trying to achieve, and Cacoo appears to...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/13/2017

Ah, before appreciating the amazing Quine, you've got to appreciate TiddlyWiki. TiddlyWiki is just a single HTML file. As you save "tiddlers" (notes), they are saved directly into the HTML file itsel...

TiddlyWiki resurgent 10/13/2017

I've just installed TiddlyWiki 5 and I'm loving it! I was looking for something to take down lots of fragments of thoughts, ideas, drafts etc. for a book I'm thinking of writing, and had been experime...

Process Documentation? 10/13/2017

Personally, I'd be strongly in favour of a wiki, but much depends on how you work. I can recommend Dokuwiki, which is relatively easy to set up, has a powerful search engine, and if you don't want to...
