Typing was probably the most important class I took in high school. Even if I did have to unlearn a few things later ("The Mac Is Not A Typewriter" summarizes these).
(The mouse is still faster excep...

Online Outlining

According to my notes, iJot and Mind Raider might be what you're looking for (I haven't used them).
IMO your que...

By continuing to write software for developers, the way they do now.

GEMX do-Organizer Version 3

(That was supposed to include the URL http://www.gemx.com/tour.php?prod=texnotespro&page=1 which showed a screen overpowered by UI gadgets.)

Cloning
11/30/2006
I'm starting to investigate what it would take to add cloning to my Opal outliner. Much to my surprise, I discovered that (in MORE and TAO at least), when you create a subtopic to a cloned topic, a su...

I have occasion to use both Mac OS X and Windows on a regular basis, and I wouldn't characterize either one as faster. *I* am faster on a Mac, partly due to familiarity and partly due to design issues...
How I use Ideamason - and why
10/27/2006
Many businesses replace hardware on a 3-4 year cycle, so requiring 4 year old software doesn't seem that terrible.
I confess my own Opal outliner requires a version of Mac OS X that's less than 2 yea...
Outliner or Outline Processor?
10/8/2006
I'm pretty sure when I released Acta (in 1986) it was called an "outline processor." Which I think copied ThinkTank's lead.
These days it looks like the term may have switched, and everyone calls the...

Opal -- new outliner for Mac OS X
10/7/2006
I hope nobody minds my saying here that I have posted a Release Candidate of Opal http://www.a-sharp.com/opal/. If you don't have a Macintosh, you can still look at the screen shots. (I'll add more if...
I thought NoteMap was the more reasonable product at $149 http://www.casesoft.com/notemap/ though I don't know how recently it was updated (some of the "new" features look pretty basic to me, though I...
Outlines of outlines

Thanks Cassius, that wasn't on my list before.
I do wonder why they mix Windows outline gadgets (left pane) and Mac outline gadgets (right pane).
Outlines of outlines
9/26/2006
I have a list of 24 note-related apps for Macintosh (besides my own Opal, which is now at public beta 1.0b3, and should be out next month), which doesn't count multiple levels (e.g. Standard and Pro)....
Why isn't notetaking software better?
9/25/2006
So why not use a decent one-pane outliner?
Organizing vs. searching

It's true that using Spotlight searches or Opal's search field finds most stuff for me. But just last night I was searching for something, and...

It's certainly not an OPML file, as it's not XML.

And my Opal is up to 1.0a4 http://a-sharp.com/opal/ (now with more keyboard control). It's feature-complete, but still a free preview since I haven't added a way to buy the software yet...
Opal -- new outliner for Mac OS X
7/3/2006
As far as additional features go:
1. I need to finish something before expanding it!
2. http://www.a-sharp.com/fogbugz?opalFeatures is a good place to post, so others can comment too.

Opal -- new outliner for Mac OS X
7/1/2006
Back in 1986, I released an outline processor called Acta. It ran on some of the earliest Macintoshes, and gained an avid following. It continues to run fine in the Classic layer. But Intel-based Maci...
