It took me a while to find a replacement for Google Reader. Its retirement contributed to my having less information overwhelm during a difficult period, so I didn't miss it much.

Trello?

Ken, if you like Trello's concept, I suggest you Google the term Kanban and look at a few of the digital Kanban tools available; I'm not saying this in order to add to your overwhelm, just to give you...
SENSE Editor recent updates

I use SENSE quite regularly; it is my tool of choice for long and complex texts.
It is the only editor I know that can display a full hierarchy in its left pane, right down to the paragraph level (o...

Wiki tool for Windows and Mac?
