Anyone using CherryTree for Windows, or Linux for that matter?

[MilesAhead]

I'm curious if anyone has experience with CherryTree.  I've tried a few of these universal note utilities and nothing has really grabbed me.

I use it. Primarily because it does what I need it to do and it's multi-platform. It's nothing that remarkable IMHO. At least as far as the simple way I use it goes. But I'm one of those people that always followed that bit of advice that went: "it's ok to go out on a date. But when it comes tools, don't ever marry. Don't even fall in love."  

About the only 'tools' I can honestly say I'd be very upset about losing are the '72 Gibson L9S Ripper and '68 Ampeg B-15N I own.

(Nobody's totally immune! )

Occasionally, installed with others like Basket Note Pads. It's good but hasn't made me want to use it regularly.

Thanks for the replies. If it runs without seeming flaky then I'll give it a shot.  Especially since it looks like at some level I'm going to start playing around with Linux again.

I'm using TreeLine at the mo, but have Cherrytree on the back burner.  There are LOTS of hierarchical note-taking apps around, much more than there were when I was using Notecase before they went pay-fer.  So if CherryTree doesn't work out, you still have quite a few options...

I was messing around with TreePad Lite for awhile just because they published the file format.  But the Lite version doesn't do much other than text.  To go t a link you have to select and hit Control h or something.

I have to start doing something to get organized.  There may come a day when I'm able to do more than one thing in 24 hours.  So I need to avoid mixing the two things up. 

Circles and arrows and a paragraph linked to each one explainin' what each one wuz may help.

Both of them look pretty cool... but my requirements for a while for any kind of note editor is not just that it export to Markdown, but that it actively uses it.  For that reason, I'm using Texthaven.

Do you mean about the recommended software? WhizFolders has such explanation, if you scroll down their main page. It's a half-way house between a hierarchical notes database and a desktop wiki. But it's Windows only and not free.

Would something like Scapple work for you? OSX and Windows only. No Nix version - although I tried installing it under Wine and it appears to work ok. Still, I'd never trust running it that way if I were doing something important. So let's keep it as Mac/PC only.

You can get a 30 (non-consecutive!!!) day trial if you want one just by downloading it. Inexpensive to buy too ($15).

I haven't even looked at it. But then even with big chunks of downtime, when I get serious I am a rabid Tree note fanatic.

If I want to create a node of Undermined/Wins/By Miner/2 3 4, I have only found two programs that worked for me, (one of which had a fatal deep structural flaw).

So I am just a bit puzzled at any program that can't let me create a 3 level deep node in twelve seconds because that's how I think every day.

I'll give Scapple a try.  I can't download on this particular WiFi.  But I should be able to get the trial later this afternoon.

My problem with hierarchical trees (and outliners in general) is my tendency to not stop at just three levels. If I'm not careful I can all too easily and fall into a fractal mode of thinking. I think it was one of Herman Hesse's characters (Steppenwolf?) that said something to the effect that in order to accurately explain what he was thinking, a hundred things need to be said simultaneously.

Yeah...that sure sounds like me sometimes.
