“So where it to find?”

No. I tried to go with Leo for a while. It’s clearly very powerful, and it has a small but vibrant community working on it. But the development efforts are to geekcentric, even for me. Features are being added left and right but stability and documentation are lacking.

Mitt första köpte jag i en dataskrotbod på Roslagsgatan. Men det var ju tio år sedan. Jag var där för att försöka köpa ett till men han sa att han inte haft något på länge.

Har också en Model M som jag kör med sen -96, fast den är gjord -88. Tänkte ge mig ut på jakt efter några st bland second hand affärerna häromkring. Lite synd att det förmodligen ligger flera tjog ute på elektronikskrotar som man inte får röra.

Ok, if leo is in active development I might have an other look it at. I’m pretty content with notecase though.

Regarding your remarks about Leo, I would like to offer a couple of corrections.

First, I've been using Leo and reading its developer forums for nearly three years. At no time since January of 2005 has Leo been "not in active development."

You are right; it is very cool. It can do lots of things that I barely understand; but it does what I want it to do extremely well.

As for its appearance, I don't know what to say. Software is ugly when it wastes your time or doesn't function as it should.

Anyhow thanks for an interesting post.

I don’t have a history with Tuxcards or Knowit so the import features aren’t a big deal to me. Thanks for pointing out hnb. I think I’ve discarded it since it’s a command line tool. Maybe it’s worth another look. But actually I’m pretty content with Notecase.

I did spring for the Notecase Pro version, mostly because I want to encourage this whole genre of software on Linux. No problem with apt-get upgrade, though. I have the free version from my distro's repositories. I keep the Pro version as a separate subdirectory, and built a launcher that points to it. What I particularly liked was the ability to read in my old Tuxcards and KnowIt files, spell check, then save as Notecase format. After that, you can use the free version just as easily on the same files. The $45 bucks was worth it to me just to save the conversion time.

Did you try hnb? Console based, and dated now. But fast and full-featured.
