Yes. Been a beta user for a long time now. Thunk sidesteps a lot of the hype and bandwagon-jumping that goes on in the PKM niche and focuses on being smart, functional and aesthetically pleasing. It's been a real pleasure to see how Thunk has developed in the time I've known it. Looking forward to seeing what the future brings as it continues to be developed. Shout out to Andrew and the rest of...

Yes. I've been using Defter for a while now. I've tried a lot of other iPad spatial note-making apps, and Defter has a beautiful balance of graphic and organisational functionality— it's much more than just another iPad enabled sketchpad or notebook. Works very well for me.

Drafts is my most used app, hands down. Low cost of entry, with so many options for developing your own workflows and integrations with other apps that it's worth every penny. It's a native app that works well with Apple standards (Reminders, Calendars etc) allowing it to operate as a hub for all of your doing and thinking, but it can just as easily serve as a starting point for pushing...

I have a history of not keeping up with time-tracking. Session's not a time-tracker per se— it's not about producing timesheets or linking to invoices— but the combination of features it offers (customisable Pomodoro sessions, iOS widgets, Shortcuts integration, filterable lists of previous tasks, calendar integration, stats and visualisation) are perfectly balanced and exactly what I need to...

Some really solid features in Author. Particularly intrigued by the integrated concept map. Keeping eyes on this one.

Looks great, and I'd love to experiment with it further. Looks like this could fill a tidy little gap in my current stack that would allow for collaborative knowledge management and sense-making. That said, is there / will there be a bookmarklet that *doesn't* depend on Chrome? And perhaps a PWA for mobile devices?

Would I be correct in thinking that this doesn’t work for web pages that exist behind logins? My use case: trying to find a quick way to make a widget with Fitbit data. Can’t get my head around the API, and thought this might be a quick way to display a bit of the web dashboard...

This seems VERY exciting.
- iPad app or decent web app with full feature parity, please. Pencil support would be a bonus, but nice to have, particularly for this kind of visual way of working.
- It’s been suggested elsewhere, but +1 for tags and/or cross-linked blocks. Double bracket wiki-links with auto-completion— would that even be possible here? Do these blocks have titles that can be...

Clean, intuitive interface. I've tried a range of different time tracking apps, but having the effort tied to specific goals or attempts to adjust behaviour is an attractive proposition. Hoping to see sync between devices made available at some point in the future. Will that be a "prime" feature? The timeline's a nice bonus— would be useful to be able to zoom out on it. Also, would be good to...

Notion somehow manages to be an incredibly flexible tool for collaborating on tasks, projects and wikis without feeling like it's trying to do too much. It's a solid option for a team hub. Most task/project management apps separate task items from information items. Notion allows you to do it all in the same place. Bonus: easy exports and imports...
