Ultra Recall version 6
10/1/2019
Jon, if you have tried the new version of Ultra Recall I am curious to know what your thoughts are about it? Also, whether this new version is a sign that there will be. increased emphasis ongoing on ...
Satis, a few observations.
Not giving something "much love" is an idiomatic expression meaning not giving something the attention it deserves.
Neville's concerns re Safari and Apple's approach to...
Thank you, Dr Andus. This is helpful.
I am using date and time as you suggest.
With regard to the individual sections, are these all in the same note, or in subnotes?

CintaNotes once more

I am happy to see what you wrote, and I hope that you are right.
Unfortunately, nothing says "abandon-ware" or "I have been hacked" like a web site full of spam postings. What I saw the other day mak...
Prion, just a thought here. With my Chromebook I use Google docs offline all the time. It is not necessarily dependent on being connected to the net. One good thing about getting my Chromebook in Janu...
CintaNotes once more

WSP, your post reminded me I hadn't checked CintaNotes website for a long time. I went to the roadmap, and was shocked to see many posts dealing with topics which have nothing to do with CN.

Hypernomicon is aimed at philosophers. However, having looked at the video tutorial I think the developer may be unintentionally limiting the potential market for this software. I think, on first take...
Dr Andus, if you get a chance, and perhaps in a new thread, I would be quite interested in how you use Dynalist for research as a Zettelkasten. Now that I am primarily using a Chromebook, and loving i...

Nathan, thanks - I thought I was the only odd one out when it came to markdown. It used to be easy to work with text in an easy way. Markdown may serve a purpose for some but, frankly, I am peeved tha...

Alexander, thank you. I took a look at Joplin, and one drawback for me is markdown. I fail to see its appeal or a reason forbit in a general purpose notes program. I tolerate it in Dynalist but much p...

I no longer add anything to Evernote or use it for clipping, both because of cost and because it would no longer clip whole articles from the web on my Android ...
Chromebook for academic use: Dr Andus
1/25/2019
Dr Andus,
One reason why I am leery of using Google Drive for anything except bare bones storage is that if there is any problem Google has perhaps the worst support of any big corporation among the ...
Chromebook for academic use: Dr Andus

Dr Andus, thank you for your reply. I appreciate it. And I apologize for misunderstanding the extent to which you're using your Chromebook.
Through trial and error I have managed to work out some of ...
Chromebook for academic use: Dr Andus

With some trial and error I figured out how to tag and add highlightbin thr browser version of Readcube/Papers on the Chromebook. Lack of a proper help file is a PITA.

Chromebook for academic use: Dr Andus
1/18/2019
I have followed Dr Andus' example and bought a Chromebook. I like it - mostly. However, I find some rough edges.
Some are minor. Others more frustrating. For example, Readcube/Papers app and the web ...
Best outliner software for windows ?
1/3/2019
Ahmed, especially for "a" on Dr Andus' list you may wish to look at Citavi, but it also could be useful for "b" and "c"

Software for web clippings

You're fortunate. I have found no way to again get Evernote to down a complete page. I am using a Samsung And phone. What phone do you use?

Software for web clippings
12/12/2018
I can't agree with you regarding Evernote. Here's why: Almost a year ago I discovered EN on my phone - which I use for most of my web saving - was no longer downloading full pages as it always used to...

Oops, I just checked the Notebooks site again, and I see that a Notebooks folder in Dropbox is available on another computer on which Notebooks is installed. So I may take another look at Notebooks.

I wonder if there are plans for a new Windows version of Notebooks.
Also, if the Notebooks folder is stored in Dropbox, will the files be available on more than one PC? I have recently discovered to ...
Stephen, I still miss ADM. I agree about it being "very compelling visually". ADM was attractive, and I liked that it didn't look like a Windows program - it had its own character.

Outliner for nonfiction book

thought,
I don't think one's seriouness about outlining can or should be equated to their seriousness about org-mode. Different strokes for different folks.

Stephen, unless I am mistaken, UV Outliner has not been developed for several years, and might be considered abandonware. It is too bad. I like that it has columns, and appears to be a pleasant applic...
