Heh, that's amusing. I made my Lotus Notes comment before reading the interesting YCombinator thread – and the very first post mentions Lotus Notes. Well, there are a few people who remembe...

Oh dear, the Lotus Agenda thing again. I can't believe people are still "accusing" developers of ripping off Agenda. It's an ancient program, pretty good in its own way, but with very limited resembla...
I think the choice between LogSeq and Obsidian is very much down to your preferred way of working. Personally, I've found Obsidian's base version much more intuitive, and only gradually added plugins ...

Ah, and in fact they have a rather useful roadmap on their home page. Team wikis and shareable docs are planned for Q3 2023, while community hubs, public blogs and collaborative projects are planned f...

My brief play yesterday evening suggests AnyType is indeed set up for collaboration, they just haven't finalised it yet (there are various UI elements that refer to sharing, commenting etc.)

Wow, AnyType has really evolved from the very basic concept I was playing with a few months ago. Very sophisticated stuff – I've just imported a whole bunch of Obsidian files at impressivel...
Bear 2 - Reactions?

Love it. Of course, if your spork was really SporkGPT, maybe that *would* be more serious...
Or not, of course. As I keep reminding people (yep, tedious), AI should really be termed II (Imitation Int...
Hope you are all well

I'm very glad to hear you're okay, @Steve.
For everybody, my recommendation of the month: "The Ministry for the Future", by Kim Stanley Robinson, which, while describing some of the horrendous outcom...
Bear 2 - Reactions?
7/17/2023
Ha, this more or less describes my position – except I also use Bear to capture interesting web pages (although more and more, I rely on History Book to do that automatically). The Bear ext...
Evernote system limits

Downloadable trial versions also available: https://getupnote.com
No, I don't get a commission for this ;-)

For those still unaware of UpNote, it's an excellent alternative to Evernote, not least because it's totally cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS – yes, and Linux).
Cheers,
Bill

Well, that is unexpected – and somewhat mind-boggling!
I'm glad I cancelled my Evernote sub last year... (all imported into UpNote, in my case)
Another new app: Protolyst
6/27/2023
Interesting new product. I've had a very quick look. Takes a little time to get a handle on what they're doing, but it is quite impressive, especially the multi-column display of relevant notes ("atom...

"Clunky but fascinating"... story of my life ;-)

Hm. This is an interesting question, and I've mused on it for many years. I think the answer is actually quite simple. You're using software that's genuinely useful to you every day, for large parts o...
Yep, I know that feeling... ;-)
Mind you, Obsidian's plugins give any CRIMPer worthy of their salt a wonderful excuse to stay with a single app – because you can always experiment with all...
Heh, in fact, on investigation, I get the impression that the MWeb website (mweb.im) has been generated from an MWeb folder. And looks fine!
It's worth bearing in mind that as well as being a very good markdown editor with a library facility, MWeb Pro can also generate entire websites (rather well, as it happens). It's essentially a static...
There's an increasing carry-over between note-taking apps and online collaboration apps, many of which are ideal for use as notetakers (especially those with downloadable mobile and even desktop apps)...
Ah, I would also mention NotePlan, which is, like Agenda, an impressive mixture of journal, task manager and notetaker. It's also very expensive, but under constant development.
And would also agree ...
Totally agree about Curio – extraordinary app (although the absolutely free Growly Notes is an entertaining alternative, albeit nowhere near as powerful).
I have tried TheArchive, but aban...
Task Management in Logseq
5/17/2023
I don't have direct experience of it, I'm afraid (I use Obsidian for my own private stuff; I've tried LogSeq on a couple of occasions, but don't like it as much as Obsidian).
But I did like the sugge...
I'd have said that with the appropriate plug-ins, Obsidian would be your friend – but I see you've already tried it...

The new bookmarks feature (sorry, I can't call a core plug-in a plug-in!) is indeed very useful!

How flattering – I'm blushing!
I do have the MAKE plugin installed, as it happens, but it changed the whole look'n'feel of Obsidian when I first activated it, and as you say, there are a c...
