WriteMonkey is the same (though documents can be bound to a file).-Dormouse (November 10, 2019, 06:02 AM)
ok some more updates....
this is the developer of zettlr, and a nice video explaining some of the methodology and what dormouse talked about regarding luhman's original system and how technology affects it.

jAlbum - was free, now looks to be paid - did have a link to the last free version here, looks like it's gone.
v9.6.1 looks to have been the last free version.
Untested download link (Software Informer), (VT analysis).-4wd (November 01, 2019, 12:31 AM)
Well, if I had another client that would actually use that format, then I suppose nothing would have been. But moving to something else that doesn't do the same... Not vendor locked is not the same thing as usable in another platform. There's also the matter of the time spent color coding the types of files/folders.I get that.-wraith808 (October 30, 2019, 10:24 PM)
I restricted myself to the filename approach because I could access them by file search on any platform. I'm trying to avoid dependence on any particular software. Haven't reached the tagging stage yet, so I'm free to change my mind. SetTags is the only other one I know that uses filenames, though I expected there would be others. Can't say I've taken to TagSpaces or SetTags. I did consider simply using Bulk Rename and manage the tags manually.-Dormouse (October 31, 2019, 05:24 AM)
I lost a lot of the work I'd done organizing with it when I had to switch, so that was a bummer. Just something to watch out for.-wraith808 (October 30, 2019, 11:05 AM)
If it saves tags in the filename, what got lost?-Dormouse (October 30, 2019, 12:44 PM)
- More fun things to do with file reader output : if you put a special character (not above the number key but like zz), after the "regular" part of the file name and before all your tag-y things, then you can import that directory output into Excel, and chop it up into sections and then your notes can reference the fragment of the file name.-TaoPhoenix (October 26, 2019, 06:23 PM)
The idea of using special characters to distinguish the tag section and individuate tags in filenames is used by the TagSpaces application, https://docs.tagspac...g-based-on-filenames . I remember trying it very long ago but might go and have another look at it now, as it seems to be actively developed.-Nod5 (October 28, 2019, 01:25 PM)
WindowsRemix:This looks like an alternative to Ninite (and Chocolatey) for those who are installing on multiple machines. Slant has a little review of the site, and likes the idea that it is doable simply from the browser. Oh, this actually uses Chocolatey.

One thing Vivaldi has the option for, and I believe Firefox as well, is the idea of "lazy loading" tabs. That is, when opening the browser, it will restore all your tabs, but it won't actually load them until the first time you switch to them. This saves RAM and CPU, etc. And I don't think Brave does this. It seems to just load all the tabs as soon as possible.-Deozaan (October 26, 2019, 05:41 PM)
I remain not even slightly persuaded of the need to go full Markdown though.-Dormouse (October 24, 2019, 04:50 AM)
Pushbullet
Text from your computer
If you enabled SMS sync in our Android app, you can text from your computer via Pushbullet.
Texting from your computer is easy, here's how:
Click SMS in the left bar.
And there was no "SMS" in the left bar.
Maybe it works better with Android.-Steven Avery (October 18, 2019, 09:45 PM)
Been using Pushbullet for years. Essential for desktop to iOS
I love this app! Whether it's to save things for later,send it to the Pushbullet app so I can text it to some of my friends as sometimes I'm on my custom built PC and I can't airdrop like I would on my MacBook. The features are there and they're so many more functions besides what iOS can do alone like remote files, multiple device management, sending it to people within Pushbullet. It's great, It's wonderful, It's been working for years and I totally recommend it.
Something I want: Can we get an iMessage app so I don't have to tab to the Pushbullet app copy a link or hit the share button go back to the Messages app and vice versa. Being able to just grab right from Pushbullet in a small little iMessage feed and paste it right into a conversation that's already open would be amazing and super fast.
