State of the Soylent: Community Roundtable

posted by NCommander on Monday November 07 2016, @12:44PM   Printer-friendly
from the whadaya-say? dept.

So, as per usual, I like to occasionally check the pulse on the community to make sure that people for the most part are happy and satisfied with the day-to-day operation of the site. For those of you who are new to the community, first, let me welcome you and explain how these work.

When I open the floor to the community, the intent is to provide a venue to discuss anything related to site operations, content, and anything along those lines. I actively review and comment on these posts, and if one issue pops up multiple times in comments, I generally run follow up articles to try and help address issues the community feels is important before someone decides to take rehash and form a spinoff. Feel free to leave whatever thoughts you want below.

In contrary to my usual posts, I don't have that much to say to this, so to both the community and editorial team's relief, I'll cut this off right here before it becomes Yet Another NCommander Novel.

    That's why I'm using DevonTHINK to file all the info I come across. It's by far one of my favourite tools.

    I thought I was the only one using it. It's a great research tool and the summarize ability works well for putting together submissions.

    Yes, it is a great tool. I don't normally spruik anything to my friends (or people I get in contact with), but I gladly make an exception for DevonTHINK. The UI looks a bit dated now, but hey, the tool just works -- that's all that matters to me. And I like how it becomes more useful the more stuff you drop in there (DT is not very useful for filing 20 items, but extremely useful for filing 20 million items). I nearly always instantly find what I'm looking for and I can't think of another application that lets you search your local files with advanced search operators such as these:

            Wildcards: ? * [a-z] [abc] [^abc]
            Boolean: AND, OR, XOR, NOT, "phrase"
            Advanced: OPT, NEAR, BEFORE, AFTER
            Part of word: ~term
