Hi Yaroslav, very glad you've joined the forum!
Cheers,

One final remark before I log off and potter back off to the Highlands again. Smereka is entirely developed using free/open-source software, as follows:
Libraries:
SQLite ( http://www.sqlite.org/ )

OMG! It stores revisions, too, and you can scroll through them in a separate window (if they're RTF or text files)! What an amazing piece of work!

Actually, the TreeProjects version does have mass-export facilities - entire branches can be exported to either RTF or text or HTML files! It's well worth experimenting with the TreeProjects version -...
Single-pane outliners

Nah, it's a cynical, suspicious grown-up thing. Anybody involved in business is much less likely to store their info on some unknown third-party website which could be raided at any time by some over-...

Wow, guys 'n' gals, I've just been playing with a seriously impressive piece of software, put together in his spare time by a Ukrainian programmer - in C/C++ and SQLlite. Called Smereka, it comes in t...
Fair 'nuff, David - it sounds as if you make full use of Citavi's plethora of features, in which case I stand in awe. Certainly Citavi are pointing the way to a form of integrated application that wil...
Single-pane outliners

I've used Natara Bonsai, both on desktop and on my beloved AlphaSmart Dana PalmOS-based keyboard - it's not bad, but suffers (as some have already remarked) from being over-fussy. I also very much lik...
I have to agree, Steve, it's really rather disappointing - I was hoping for something much more impressive from Aquaminds. I also tried to play with the web server feature (simply by accessing the Exa...
I am always astounded at just how little use academics in particular make of the many amazing tools out there for collating / structuring information. The "giant Word file" approach seems to be very p...
Noteliner 3.0 now available
3/15/2011
Hot damn! Nice little number - works really rather well for something that's apparently so simple. And it has no footprint at all!

Well, well, well - I've long admired (from a distance) the rather nice NoteTaker and NoteShare software by Aquaminds. Sadly, they've only ever been available for MacOS. But guess what, they've just go...
Ah, I'd have a suggestion there, Graham - much faster and more efficient than Office for handling very large documents is SoftMaker Office, which also has some astonishingly good Word filters (www.sof...
PiggyDB

Yes, I have to say I think it's pretty amazing, and the developer (who is, I assume, Japanese) is also very responsive and has outstanding English. He's got some interesting entries on his blog, too, ...
PiggyDB
2/27/2011
Ah! No, it's not - you can create users very easily, although everybody has the same access to every part of the database, which does restrict the functionality somewhat. You simply create a fragment ...
Workflowy: Your Brain on One Page

Interesting, but strikingly like UV-Outliner in terms of functionality. Personally, I prefer off-line outliners, although I respect the fact that many people like to run everything in a browser (in wh...

Just to add my little contribution to this sudden flurry of activity, I'd like to mention PiggyDB (piggydb.net), which I've been playing with for the past couple of days. It's described as a knowledge...
OneNote iPhone app
2/14/2011
I've taken another look at Microsoft's own OneNote client, and find that it's optimised for (automatic) synchronisation with your OneNote files on Windows Live.
MobileNoter, on the other hand, synchr...
UV Outliner

Good news - I like this little program, although I don't use it very often!
Cheers,
Bill
TreeSheets is very good, and the Dutch developer is charming and very responsive. But I've been trying to persuade him to incorporate folding for months now, and he's very resistant (TreeSheets does a...
OneNote iPhone app
2/14/2011
I've looked at it with interest, but I already use the awesome MobileNoter, which is exceedingly well designed and runs on both iPhone and iPad, so to be perfectly honest I can't see any pressing reas...
Thanks for the recommendation, Jason - I've been experimenting with it, and as somebody who deals with translations a lot, I'm actually very favourably impressed. The only downside is its insistence o...
Need help tracking web pages

Ah! Fair 'nuff, guv, that's certainly quite a lot of people to manage - sounds like an IT nightmare! Also sounds like you could do with your own departmental intranet, though - maybe you could blag a ...

I think it's time to put some serious pressure on your IT department! In this day and age, it's perfectly ridiculous to expect a department of 35 people to comment efficiently on a website without pro...

Hm - your quandary has got me thinking, and of course I'm forgetting the wonderful ScrapBook extension for Mozilla Firefox, which you can use to save entire web pages exactly as they are, then add ann...
