I KNOW I have more than 2000 items in my main DEVONthink 'General Research' database. No signs of instability there.

Hm, that is interesting. I have a lot of stuff in my OneNote databases; not sure if that's up to 2000 items or not, but I'd have thought so. I must go and do some testing.
I'm using: OneNote for Mac,...

Well, dang! Those multiple options for Clibu sound highly desirable! I'd love to be able to run an in-house server, for example; very convenient.
Go for it, Neville!

You've not mentioned the fact that Clibu is also language-friendly (which Surfulator definitely wasn't!).
But the pervasive Cloud model has, I'm afraid, caused me to back away. Like others here, I li...

I would definitely steer clear of Aquaminds products for the time being. Too many reviews bitterly lamenting lost data/failed synchronisation. It's a shame, because the products have potential. But de...

Sharing how exactly, Daly? Across which platforms?
My first impulse is to suggest Notebooks, but that doesn't run on Android. It runs on Windows, Mac and iOS, and is a better repository than Evernote...

I think what I like most about LightPaper is its flexibility: it's got more or less ALL the features of other editors, but you can choose which ones to toggle on/off.
For example, I like the inline s...
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...
Yet another Markdown editor...

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,

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...

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...

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?

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 ...
