Heptabase - Crimp cured? 10/3/2023

Heptabase - Crimp cured? 9/17/2023

I find Tangent has the features I need for notes and doesn't intrude on my thinking or writing. Simple and quite elegant. I find that I spend 99% of my time in it thinking and writing - where in Obsi...

Heptabase - Crimp cured? 9/14/2023

I liked Scrintal better than Hepta originally, but they were very late getting their dark mode out. Promised earlier but not delivered. And by that time I was using Hepta. And I've not got back into i...

Export options are weak, which is a killer for me. "we have positioned Heptabase 1.0 as the best tool for learning and researching complex topics", so I suppose it depends on what your use would be. I...

Another one goes subscription 9/2/2023

No worse than many I have seen. Even to closing the forum and website apart from the bits leading to the buy button which usually seemed still to work when everything else has gone.

Sanderson style outlining in Curio 8/21/2023

I use Mindomo; mindmap or outline view. I can't use many mindmappers, inc Scrapple, because they don't have an adequate dark mode. Mindomo has hoisting, #tags (inc tag filters) and great Word export ...
