InfoSelect competitor on sale Til 04/06/2013

I don't normally do this sort of thing. So moderators, please feel free to move or delete as your needs and understanding of the rules require, but considering the significant discussions we've had lately on Office Suites and other software issues of interest to us wordy types, I'd like to make a minor addition to my comments on Notes software. If you recall (or not!), I had said I was using Zim Desktop Wiki, but felt hampered by a lack of global search.

Well, earlier in the week (3/25/13), the software site "Giveaway Of The Day" featured a notes app for the PC that I downloaded. It is called "All My Notes" and it adds not only global search to the tools that the open source Zim title offers, but a host of other tools that a words/ideas worker might find useful. This Tree structured notes keeper is the first notes software that I felt offered enough features that people could reasonably expect to use as a replacement for Microsoft 'OneNote'. Though from the website, the developers seem to see it more as an InfoSelect competitor than OneNote.

From reading the user forums and support pages for this software, I learned that the developers are gearing up for an Android version, and it runs on Linux via the Windows emulator 'Wine'. There is also a portable 'thumbdrive' version as well. This is a very small European company (Ukraine, I believe), and the owner/developers worked on the late lamented Agendus software for the Palm platform before that went under, and worked on InfoSelect as well.

This is commercial software, and the giveaway offer has expired, but there is a 30% off sale going on for the next 8 days. (Sale Cost is around $23 US) Like I said, I don't normally do this sort of thing, but I think this is pretty impressive note keeping software and should be added to our prior discussion.

Sorry, but I really am just another pretty face. . .
