Exciting teaser for Notebooks
5/9/2015
... and a rather peculiar file management app that also happens to be a text editor and basic photo editor, iStorage 2.
Beautiful interface, remarkably clever file handling.

Oh, forgot to mention Knowtes, as well (browser + notepad; quite good).
There are a number of dual/multi-pane browsers, but they're rather boring.

Hm, couple of those I don't know, interesting...
Tapose was a huge disappointment, but I still occasionally play with it. Also worth mentioning is Circus Ponies Notebook, which can do side-by-side (a...
Exciting teaser for Notebooks
5/8/2015
Okay, I'm excited.
If all goes well, the next version of Notebooks (yes, that's as in Alfons's Notebooks) will include support for side-by-side notes - in iOS!
That's so cool! And will turn Notebook...
You might also want to take a look at another collaborative newbie, Deekit (https://www.deekit.com/). Looks very interesting.
And while it's not really what you're describing, Quip is surprisingly po...
Kanban Kit
5/7/2015
Atlassian offer something similar for their JIRA product, I believe - also optimised for collaboration.
The nice developer of Kanban Kit is contemplating an iOS version as well. This would make up fo...
Kanban Kit
5/6/2015
Okay, so this isn't, strictly speaking, an outliner, but it's a neat information manager with outliner-like characteristics!
I've just discovered Kanban Kit (unfortunately Mac-only, I fear), which is...

Any particular platform?
Notebooks 8
4/29/2015
I entirely agree with you, although I'm amused by your unusual discovery of the software – as you say, most people discover the iOS app first!
And yes, it's high time Notebooks was called somet...
Mac in Cloud
4/29/2015
I must say I'd agree with that. Rather than spend $20 on a limited-hour monthly plan, why not spend the same money on a basic Mac Mini (on an instalment plan, perhaps)? It would be very easy to use it...
Notebooks 8
4/28/2015
Looks like a brilliant update, too, with a built-in PDF reader/annotator as an additional option. If the Mac/PC versions gain the same functionality as the iOS version -- as Alfons appears to suggest ...
Two fine WTS posts by Stephen Z.
4/28/2015
Yes, a good review -- alas. I was looking forward to watching 'Interstellar', but it sounds all too depressingly like Prometheus: full of sound and fury, signifying nothing...
Word Counter
4/26/2015
Inspired by somebody's mention of Christian Tietze's Zettelkasten website, I went and had a mosey round, and promptly discovered the app Word Counter, written by Tietze himself (for MacOS, by the by)....
NoteSuite export tool now available
4/26/2015
Yes, interesting that. I suspect it's because a LOT more people have the iOS version only (I acquired it long before I acquired a Mac).
What I find slightly baffling is the decision to restrict the ...
OutlineEdit 1.4
4/26/2015
Hear hear -- it's always (really) nice to see a steadily, sensibly developed app that doesn't allow itself to be pushed around by impatient users but gradually matures into a serious tool...
... yea...
Markdown, Smartdown
4/24/2015
And talking about Markdown, the Mac OS version of French app 'Smartdown' has made its way out of beta.
It's a pleasant combination of Markdown editor with outliner (headings automatically act as fold...
Now that is a very entertaining inversion of the usual scenario. One has to admire the entrepreneurial niche thinking! ;-)
You can also create links between OneNote notes, add tags etc.; it's a lot more powerful than you might think.
Hm, definitely a little restricted.
OneNote springs to mind. Beloved of IT departments, very powerful and available on multiple mobile platforms? And probably already on your PC...
Ah, ThinkBook is a great app. Unfortunately it hasn't been under development for rather a long time, but it's one of the very first apps I ever acquired.
If it was ever reactivated and found its way ...
Notetaker defunct?
4/12/2015
Sorry, Bob, I realise I was waffling rather uselessly, with less than exemplary clarity.
No, Side by Side+ is an iOS app running on my iPad(s). It's designed specifically for iPad, in fact. It's capa...
Notetaker defunct?
4/12/2015
I do empathise with Steve's description of remote drooling! Indeed, CP Notebook was one of my earliest Mac purchases. And I never use it.
In fact, I think it's an interesting indication of the peculi...
A step back into Linux: LXLE
4/4/2015
Thanks, jaslar. I always keep a Linux machine around, generally running Xubuntu, but LXLE looks like a very intriguing alternative.
the perfect markdown editor
3/30/2015
Hm, not sure. I know it does do code (you can set up your own templates for e.g. Python), and Dapeng is very responsive, so he might/might not regard code folding as trivially easy to implement. Certa...
