Scrapbook as the ultimate piece of software?
11/22/2014
Ditto; I hadn't heard of Scrapbook X. Very tempting, but I use DEVONthink to capture web pages now, and don't really want to move away from Safari (Chrome has a big memory hit on MacBooks).
I really can't think of any (not across both platforms). It's a shame you're not in the world of Mac... ;-)
Thinking laterally, you could try Softmaker Office. They have a very nice spreadsheet app t...

Alas not, FoldingText uses internal cunning to interpret a bullet-point list appearing after a special .todo extension as a list of tasks.
By "support" I really mean, is compatible with the GitHub fl...

And a very nice one. In fact, it's suddenly become my number one favourite on the Mac!
It's called LightPaper, and it's currently free. It's extremely flexible: it has a navigation pane that shows a ...
At first, I thought the agenda was rather limited. But in fact, if you start playing around with items in the agenda, you soon find they're very flexible. For example: if you create an item with a dat...
Just been checking out moo.do. It's a very professional piece of work.
It does do little triangle 'fold' indicators, in fact, but you have to pass your mouse over a parent item to see them. The iOS a...
Anyone heard of Quirkos?
11/19/2014
Thanks for that, Dr. Dan. I'd be delighted to pop into Edinburgh and meet up.
Meanwhile, it might be worth launching a version for personal use? Mid-priced, as it were. Just a thought...
Cheers,

Oh dear, really can't help myself

Hi Michael,
Thanks for posting! When I open it, I find Goozzee is a lot less complex than it looks in screenshots. It's actually quite light on its feet! I shall play more next week (once current pro...

Just discovered this little gem. Going to try it out when I've got a spare mo...

Hm. Temptation has been fairly easily repelled, since the commercial price of GBP 400, while not ridiculous (especially not by the standards of qualitative analysis software) is nevertheless not exact...
OutlineEdit 1.2 & Sale
11/15/2014
Oh, and just one other, tiny thing. It would be nice to be able to switch off the bullets at the start of every item. I'm one of those people (and I suspect others here are similar) who prefers the ul...
OutlineEdit 1.2 & Sale
11/15/2014
After Robin's latest updates, I'd just like to say another positive thing or two about OutlineEdit. What a nice app! How well it plays with others!
Robin's latest change also means that you can switc...
Yes, SmartDown does look interesting, and the French developer has just confirmed to me that they're going to release a Mac version, too, albeit after the Windows version.
Anyone heard of Quirkos?

Dang, that's seriously cool. Oh dear. Temptation is lurking in the underbrush...
Anyone heard of Quirkos?
11/15/2014
Hm, that side-by-side thing sounds damn cool. I'm going to have to play. It's always nice to hear directly from a responsive developer, too!
A silly question (I'm so busy currently, I haven't had tim...
My son, a budding film director, pretty much lives in EssentialPIM, rather to my amusement. It has its quirks, but it's a very impressive application, especially if you want to store a lot of data. Ha...
Anyone heard of Quirkos?
11/12/2014
A rather interesting qualitative analysis tool that isn't ridiculously priced and claims to be easy to use. Has anybody had a play/does anybody use it regularly?

DeltaWalker

Since we're all a bunch of sad (sorry, I mean, of course, dynamic, forward-thinking, efficiency-oriented) information junkies in this forum, I thought I'd draw your attention to DeltaWalker 2, a very ...

Nice review, incidentally, Steve!
OutlineEdit 1.2 & Sale
11/11/2014
I agree with Steve that hoisting (which I've mentioned before) and on/off checkboxes would be the two most desirable new features.
Keyboard shortcuts are always useful, too.
But OutlineEdit has alre...
Big improvement in Outline
11/9/2014
The OneNote competitor for Mac, Outline (a.k.a. Outline+ on iPad), has improved significantly in the latest release.
First, it's introduced Dropbox compatibility (just as well, given the vagaries of ...
OutlineEdit 1.2 & Sale
11/8/2014
On a Mac, OutlineEdit is the closest thing you'll get to Workflowy, but actually has some advantages.
The rich-text features are pretty much identical to Workflowy.
The checkbox concept is well exec...
Thanks for the somewhat rambling but interesting summary of concordancing software.
It's also worth bearing in mind that most standard computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools have powerful concorda...
liquidtext in beta

Wow, thanks for that, James, what an absolutely mesmerising concept! That's got me really excited!
It's high time people working with copious volumes of text found entirely new computer-based ways of...
OT: Dropbox and Skydrive encryption

Thanks for that tip – interesting point. Foolishly, I hadn't realised BitTorrent Sync was so closed. I shall do a little more research (syncthing looks pretty cool but still rather underdevelope...
