Re: OT: YJ vs Notebook
John [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08-05-22 13.08 Does anyone have any opinions on how YJ compares to Notebook from Circus Ponies? I like YJ and since Notebook is $20 more than YJ, I haven't tried it. Just wondering if anyone else here has, and can comment on how the two compare. I use both, Yojimbo to me is that drawer where you put all the stuff you might need sometime ... or not. Notebook is a place where you can write longer pieces of text, take meeting notes, etc --- in short a notebook. None of them is perfect for everything and even put together they don't cover everything I need (you got to add BBEdit, Yep, BibDesk and Skim for that) jem -- Jan Erik Moström, www.mostrom.pp.se -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: OT: YJ vs Notebook
I use them both. Notebook and Yojimbo each serve different purposes, at least the way I use them. You need to try Notebook to understand the difference, but I don’t think one replaces the other.

Thanks, John I have a Notebook licence which I got through MacHeist, and I did try using it for a while, though moved back to Yojimbo as my main stuff manager. Notebook, I think, would be great if you are lucky enough to have clearly-defined projects which don't interact with each other a lot. It has all sorts of nice ways to subdivide content, have different pages allowing entry in different formats (one page could be a big free text thing, another an outline, another a dated log) and does things like export tasks to iCal. I found in practice that with my stuff inbox mostly consisting of lots of small random items appearing and needing to be organised, and things which seem to endlessly move about between projects and be relevant to dozens at once, this didn't really fit in with how I wanted to do things, and so I ended up sticking with a combination of Yojimbo and iCal. However, Notebook is certainly a good product, and one I enjoyed using - I preferred keeping activity logs with Notebook over Yojimbo for instance. -- -- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list yojimbo-talk@barebones.com.

Re: OT: YJ vs Notebook
Yojimbo is ideal for smaller bits and is one that I frequently use. For more structured stuff or larger collections of related items, e.g a series of newpaper columns or articles Notebook fits better for me.
