I think there's just too much competition in the online authoring space. Without a mobile app (that supports offline editing), such entrepreneurial efforts are almost guaranteed to fail. Which is why ...
Swift To-Do List is maturing nicely...
2/12/2014
I've always liked it, I must say, but been put off by the lack of cross-platform compatibility. What you say about sync and backup is also interesting.
But it appears a Big Step Forward is imminent. ...
Swift To-Do List has been around for a long time, enthusiastically marketed by its developer. It's a nice program, hitherto limited by being confined to Windows only. But that's not necessarily bad - ...
little red hen needs help

Tragically, the program you really, truly need is Blackwell's legendary Idealist. Alas, now long defunct! It was described as a bibliographic database, but was actually much more than that - a system ...

I've just been reading your interesting definition of the ideal 'inspiration-capturing' environment. I've thought about it, and would suggest that you actually need an iPad, using Launch Center Pro an...
Yup, that's exactly what it means. I have a German colleague working several hundred miles away: CRD allows me to take control of her computer to sort out problems, install software, or simply demonst...
Hm - excellent; a responsive developer! I like those!
Thanks for the update, Steve - it would be great to have Tasque on PC, too. I notice there are already Android and Linux apps called 'Tasque' (no...
Wiki tool for Windows and Mac?
1/31/2014
Worth reminding those who are hesitating over TiddlyWiki that the great TWEdit (under iOS) is available for editing TiddlyWiki files exchanged via Dropbox. The app has really matured and is now stable...
Sorry, yes, forgot to specify ;-)
Dang! That sounds really exciting! I've used CRD to interact with remote colleagues (with PC issues), but I didn't realise it handled multiple monitors so well - I use three myself, so that sounds ser...
Okay, a new incarnation of Taskpaper has arisen. I get the impression the app's been passed on to someone new; although Tasque (as the new incarnation has been christened) is pretty much identical to ...
You'll find many of us in the forum are enthusiastic users of PDF-Xchange Viewer and derivatives. We've been using it for years as a substitute for Adobe Acrobat (the Pro version only costs ca. USD 40...
Upgraded version of Todoist is out
1/22/2014
Todoist seems to have decided to invade the planet, and their new apps are even more elegant than before (although, alas, their iOS app STILL doesn't include folding of e.g. subprojects and subtasks -...
Upgraded version of KnowsyNotes is out
1/22/2014
... now called Texthaven. It's slightly more streamlined - and certainly faster - but doesn't appear to have any new features. I've just asked the nice developer (John) to enable selecting/copying of ...
Notebooks public beta available
1/20/2014
I do use Notebooks on Windows and iPad - and I love it.
It's not perfect; the Windows version doesn't deal with task management very well (not as well as the iOS version, anyway), which is why I don...
Gingko
1/17/2014
Thanks for drawing our attention to this new feature. It's very impressive. Makes me all the more anxious to see an (offline) Gingko app, frankly.
Gingko (shortly to become "the web app formerly kno...
While I too love and prefer PDF-Xchange Viewer, it's worth mentioning that you can also use the standard Acrobat reader to search through a folder plus all its subfolders.
Interesting to hear about t...
As a matter of fact, Tomboy does have an outliner view, although it's not immediately apparent. It's the 'Search All Notes' view, and lists Notebooks on the left, with a list of notes on the right. It...
Funnily enough, good ole' Tomboy has a rather good search function. Not only does it do the 'search as you type' thing, it lists the number of matches in each note and, once you open a specific note, ...
A nice article on Chromebooks:
http://stratechery.com/2014/the-best-analogy-for-chromebooks-are-ipads/
Of course you could opt for something equally exciting: the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 14 (available from PC World for just £400: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/laptops-netbooks/laptops/laptops/lenovo-id...
All references to stores from Google UK's own Chromebook page:

Oh, and direct from HP as well, also at £280 (but that includes 3G+ support):

Oh, and from Tesco (£280), as in "every little helps (us to get richer)":
