Obsidian. Yes, it has its frustrating aspects (notably on mobile devices). But it's a very attractive app, pleasant to use even in its base form.
The real fun comes when you start adding plugins. I'v...

Hi folks,
Now this doesn’t have anything to do with outlining – directly. But it does have to do with information management, privacy etc. etc.
I’ve just discovered DuckDuckGo brow...
Heptabase - Crimp cured?

Thanks for that tip! Excalibrain sounds really interesting. I'm enjoying Tangent, and there are some nice ideas coming along in the near future, but I'm not anxious to move lock, stock and barrel away...
Heptabase - Crimp cured?
10/3/2023
Although the current version of Tangent doesn't have folding (but it's coming!), it does have a great filter feature (the "Feed" filter, as opposed to the "Cards" filter) that allows you to see –...
Only downside, the text boxes don't support rich text or markdown. You could argue, so what? But I'm a bit disappointed.
However, overall it's very nice to use.
Heptabase - Crimp cured?

It is a one-person operation, but Taylor Hadden is very amiable and responds quickly to feedback, queries etc. It's very much a passion project, i.e. he eats his own dog food!

It's got search! Bravo!
This looks pretty darn interesting, actually, especially the support for collaboration. Dang. I'm investigating...
The inclusion of AI in everything is definitely thought-provoking. Especially as generative AI is such an astonishingly fast-moving technology.
Two articles are worth reading:
First, Seth Godin's v...

Ditto!

Love the look of Tangent – thanks for the recommendation!

Oh, okay. Well, I'll take another look...
Thanks Steve

What I hate about it is the total lack of search function. I mean, really?!?
A long overdue update for Outline
9/6/2023
It does seem a little counter-intuitive – I was a bit surprised at the price. On the other hand, maybe they're hoping enough people resent having to/actively don't wish to use Microsoft app...
Hi @Amontillado – yes, I've just seen it and am intrigued. At first, I couldn't get much of a handle on the true value of Properties, but The Sweet Setup has a rather useful article on it h...
A long overdue update for Outline
9/4/2023
Ah, bad news there, I'm afraid: Keep It is now subscription – in fact, two subscriptions, because you need a separate one for the Mobile version.
Growly Notes is still free as a bird, fort...
A long overdue update for Outline
9/4/2023
Well, this is amusing.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... there was once a OneNote clone called Outline, available for macOS and iOS.
And after the removal of (quite a few) bugs, syncing ...
Sanderson style outlining in Curio

That's why Scapple is the way it is – no complex layering, just a series of easily adjusted relationships ;-)
On the Bike front: of course you can create a very complex series of Bike outl...
Bike Outliner: Adds Row Types

Great to hear – thanks, Jesse.
Ah, so that's what "outlining mode" means! I confess I was slightly baffled by this, even after searching through Bike's online help. Now that is a really us...
Bike Outliner: Adds Row Types
8/10/2023
I agree, tagging would be the icing on the cake. Of course you can insert tags and then search for them – Bike's search function is excellent – but it's not the same thing as fil...
Thanks for the tip, Franz!
Anytype.io
7/25/2023
Yeah, the name is a bit odd. Wasn't there some kind of font utility called AnyType back in the day? Maybe there still is?

Ah yes, I've remembered what I was wittering about earlier. Lotus Agenda wasn't the app I was thinking of, as it happens – I was thinking of Lotus Organizer, originally developed by a small UK-b...
I have to say many of the plugins are spectacular. For example, you can easily build sophisticated calculations into Obsidian (using tables or code blocks). You can use columns. You have a wide variet...
Re: Obsidian – I've just realised you can indeed embed blocks by putting an exclamation mark in front of the block ID. I must try it!
Hm, yes, nice description of the main differences between LogSeq and Obsidian, but slightly outdated. Obsidian uses a hybrid markdown mode nowadays, so you don't have to switch to preview (although yo...
