Cloud outliner syncing problems software#
Meantime we already accept Operating Sytems, Browsers, Word Processors, Spreadsheets et al as separate software for their own indvidual reasons - I use Evernote purely for it's "external brain" power, and I think it should stay out of areas that have been more than adequately exploited by people with greater expertise in those fields than theirs. If one of the software houses involved wants to make a connection (and yes, I suggested this to Mind on Track already) then no doubt we'll see Evernote-friendly versions coming out at some point but most producers aren't as user-friendly and insanely (in a nice way) productive as the Evernote machine, so there might be a wait. The fact that there are hundreds of outline options, and a good few mind-mapping options (for the record my personal mapper/ outliner of choice is currently ), means there are hundreds of reasons why Evernote should not try to reinvent any wheels.
If you have outline software that allows the different levels of your outline to be saved as separate files (you can do this in mind-mapping software, so I'm sure some outliners will: MSWord allows embedded documents in a "master" file.) - then (as already noted) those separate files could be saved in Evernote and the hyperlinks would still be valid even if the sub-files were edited or the outline moved around. Used as part of a notebook stack, links can be useful to drag research together - and of course they can be moved around within the note or copied from one note to another if details change. Just to add on to the last post - notes can be linked together so you could (forinstance) rough out a chapter in one note, then add new notes to the database filling out each bullet point in your rough draft, linking back to the "head" note so you can review the content in the correct order.
I would be happy with crude outlining functionality if only it integrated with the powerful capturing capabilities of Evernote. My theory is that whatever outliner software develops a decent integration with Evernote will be cream that rises to the top.

Why aren't there outliner programs that have figured out the value of integrating with Evernote, similar to what Curio has done with mindmapping software (for Mac only). Am I missing something? This strikes me like a golden opportunity for an existing software outlining offering to tap into Evernotes 10 million users. What I have been hoping to find is outliner software that has great integration with Evernote. In starting to write my book, I ran into many limitations and looked to see what else is out there - thus stumbling into the Outliner Software forum. Mostly by default and lack of knowledge of alternatives, I have been a user of ActionOutline for several years. It is fragmented among dozens of confusingly similar and flawed offerings. There is no clear winner in outline organizer offerings. After scanning the forum, some of the better ones appear to be MyInfo, Ultra Recall, WhizFolders, Outline 4D, Scrivener (Mac), Zost, Ecco Pro, Omni Outlines, Surfulator and others. There is a category of software referred to as outlining software with an active forum of pioneers at There are hundreds (NOT a typo) of outlining software programs out there. This strikes me like a false dichotomy (tastes great vs. I have read with interest the discussions about the existing Evernote structure of tags/notebooks/search vs. Evernote is great for capturing information, but its lousy for manipulating that information into a hierarchical structure (that is inherently needed for a book, as least as book is defined today). I am writing a book and struggling with the best ways to use/not use Evernote to help. I am new, so let me just say thank you to all who have posted and have helped educate me on Evernote capabilities and limitations.
