The fact that it is stripped down does not impact efficiency though. Those of us that remember Macs that used to say “hello” will appreciate that. The interface is much more stripped down. I’m not sure if it fills a different niche or is just a different way to work. It is similar in nature to Yojimbo yet not quite. To be honest I really didn’t know what I was getting into with VoodooPad when I started using it. It has a feature to export to iPod notes but this does not work with the iPhone which is too bad. ![]() It also allows a form of tagging by assigning categories and supports scripting and allows you to publish directly to the web. I was very pleased to discover this works for both OmniOutliner and OmniGraffle. Some other nifty features includ LinkBack which allows you to paste content from a linkback enabled application and reopen it with just a few clicks. Regardless, it is all easily searchable once inside VoodooPad. In the month I’ve been using it I’ve created over a hundred pages including research for my clients, gift ideas for upcoming birthdays and even potential titles for my MacSparky business cards. This system becomes almost viral in nature. You can also drop in URL’s, images, pdfs, and you can even draw your own pictures using a tablet or (if you are really skilled) a mouse. In addition to letting me create the lists, VoodooPad allows me to link them together and search them. VoodooPad can automatically number the lists or make bullets. For instance I have a page in VoodooPad called Mac and on that page I have created several links including things such as MacSparky article ideas, MacWorld packing list, and a few other lists and resources that don’t really fit anywhere else on my system. In essence it is a personal Wiki that allows you to to create links on the fly as you type. While VoodooPad is a text editor, it really is much much more. ![]() Not to be dissuaded from my never ending quest for shiny new software I decided to give Flying Meat‚Äôs VoodooPad a try as a possible text editor replacement. Furthermore, I often use text files to dump ideas as I explained in one of my Quicksilver screencasts. I know there are some very powerful text editor replacements out there that are very helpful to code jockies but I‚Äôm not sure how useful those applications would be to someone like me who writes a lot more documents than programs. For this purpose I have been using OS X‚Äôs built in text editor. As much as I like Pages and Scriviner for word processing, sometimes I just want a down and dirty text editor. ![]()
