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...
the perfect markdown editor
3/29/2015
Worth mentioning that Dapeng (the developer) is working on an iPad version, too. And has Big Plans!
He's also the man behind the rather appealing GeniusWiki (one of the better examples of the wiki co...
the perfect markdown editor
3/28/2015
Sorry! Forgot to say that currently, Textnut is Mac-only. Doh!
the perfect markdown editor
3/28/2015
Okay, while I wouldn't say it yet meets all jaslar's criteria for the perfect Markdown editor, it's made some substantial progress on its way there:
Textnut is back! And version 2.0 is awesome, becau...
AllMyNotes users?
3/27/2015
I'd agree with The Other Bill that if you like AllMyNotes, you'll definitely get on with MyInfo.
AllMyNotes is just a weeny bit inadequate all round, really, especially given Ken's list of needs/pref...
Hm, yes, that is interesting. Thanks for posting! Any new ways of visualising information are always worth exploring...
Outline Pro by Ventureblocks
3/24/2015
Hence Ulysses.
Or indeed Letterspace.
On PC? Well, I continue to hope that someday, there will be an iOS version of CintaNotes. That would be darn cool.
Meanwhile there are always the various Markd...
Outline Pro by Ventureblocks
3/24/2015
What can I say? Early versions didn't fold. 'Nuff said.
But like Steve, your query has caused me to slap my forehead and say "oh yeah!"
Maybe the latest version DOES fold. Time to take a look...
Overcoming Overload?
3/23/2015
You're welcome, Paul!
And thanks for the tip about OmniFocus - but in fact, as I remarked to somebody else on another thread, if you right-click a day or date (or indeed any selected text) in Ulysses...

Sorry, Paul, just picked this up...

Overcoming Overload?
3/20/2015
Thank you, Ken. The volume of interesting answers to your heartfelt issues shows just how important this particular aspect of outlining, or information management, or whatever else one chooses to call...
The latest Outlook for Mac isn't bad, but it isn't very good, either. We tried it before deciding in favour of Airmail, but were appalled at how badly (= painfully slowly) it handles multiple IMAP acc...
