ConnectedText for Mac, Windows and iOS?
12/30/2015
Yes, in basic terms they're both very similar (especially Outwiker), but Sorting Thoughts goes further in its support of cross-linking (and tracing of links), and also its remarkably powerful project ...
ConnectedText for Mac, Windows and iOS?
12/29/2015
Well, okay, maybe not quite, but Sorting Thoughts (sortingthoughts.de) is a very intriguing app with desktop versions for MacOS and Windows, and a nice, simple iOS version. It thrives on relationships...
Thanks, Jaslar. Although I must say, there are a few odd entries and exclusions there (e.g. EgretList, taken over by Evernote in 2010 and more or less discontinued, I believe).
Actually, it's pretty cool. It's mainly standard Markdown, but does have three different "modes". Each page you create (it's not immediately obvious that it maintains its own library of "pages", which...
Ulysses 2.1 for iPad/Mac - folding, .docx
12/20/2015
I think you mean the beta version of Ulysses for iPhone - yes, looking forward to that (have applied, haven't received yet!)
Virtual machines for CRIMPers
12/19/2015
I realise this is not directly relevant to outlining, but it is tangentially relevant.
Over the years, the forum has seen much grumbling about the fact you can get certain favourite progs/apps on one...

Disappointing "updates" - Asana & Todoist
12/19/2015
Depends on the platform: the asterisk still works on e.g. iOS, but doesn't appear to work on other platforms.
Bloody irritating. An exchange with the support people indicated that Todoist is moving o...
Gingko
12/18/2015
The amazing Gingko appears to have some competition - from germ.io
It appears to be a task management app based on a concept identical to that of Gingko. But still no offline apps, as far as I can te...
Wot a hoot! I can kind of see the appeal, for a very, very text-focused personality type.

Relational databases
12/11/2015
I know the whole concept appears to have died a death nowadays: for the few people who still use relational databases in smaller businesses, FileMaker Pro reigns supreme. Some poor, unfortunate souls ...
Beginning to see the light with org-mode

On the one hand: splendid. On the other hand: where's the elegance? The simplicity?
The answer, I suppose, is that if you want such things, you can always code them yourself... ;-)
New version of StickyBrain
11/29/2015
One of the best note-taking alternatives launched recently (for the Mac) is TaskCard 2.0, which is seriously powerful. Alas, no iOS client yet, but a very impressive piece of software.
New version of StickyBrain
11/29/2015
Yep, it is, especially for what's on offer. I've kindly downloaded it, so I could evaluate it and tell you all about it. And it's disappointing. The "rich text" is based on Apple's own text components...
New version of StickyBrain
11/28/2015
Reluctant as I am to inadvertently push any CRIMPing buttons, I feel I should mention that the Chronos app StickyBrain has recently been rewritten from scratch in Swift, Apple's new programming langua...
Happy Thanksgiving

Ditto, with two exceptions: don't stay at home, and go for the banoffee pie...

Shiny, sparkly!
11/24/2015
This is absolutely – well, very little – to do with outlining as such, but it's such a wonderfully clever and freeform tool I thought I'd mention it anyway.
I've recently been playing wit...
Quiver for Mac reaches version 3
11/19/2015
Agreed. In fact, you can create truly elegant wikis. Personally, I like the note-linking approach used in Quiver – what would be *really* cool is a cell-linking option. Plus hierarchical tags. B...
Quiver for Mac reaches version 3
11/18/2015
Dang, that's quite cool! I haven't played with this particular form of markup before. Time to have a go!
Happy 20th Birthday Blackwell Idealist
11/18/2015
I did use Qercus for a while, but didn't find the scripting side quite as intuitive as Idealist. But it was a valiant attempt at something very similar. Sadly seems to be languishing.
Quiver for Mac reaches version 3
11/18/2015
I'm delighted by the new release. Suddenly Quiver is looking really mature, and the new note-taking options are amazing.
I'm just hoping the developer is still working on the iOS version - he was ver...
Manuscripts 1.0
11/16/2015
Really rather powerful. I've only had a very brief chance to play (busy at the moment), but it's a fully equipped authoring program, from what I've seen, with some really nice features (and it does no...
Happy 20th Birthday Blackwell Idealist
11/16/2015
It was - still is, clearly - one of the great DBMS. When we first launched our business, our entire (networked) in-house admin system was built on Idealist. Not the target use case, no, but the simple...
Manuscripts 1.0

Thanks for that - looks fascinating. I shall have a play!
