Ask HN: Good software for evergreen list making?

1 points by heckanoobs 8 years ago · 1 comment · 1 min read


I don't mean todo lists or shopping lists. More like playlists or wish lists, which endure and are curated over time.

You can shoehorn this into lots of other software (trello, pinterest, evernote, etc) but the interface is not optimal and their business aspirations not aligned.

I just want software to offload the lists one would otherwise keep in their head:

- Thoughts to think when you're stuck

- Ideas while reading ${Book}

- Restaurants I've eaten at that I enjoyed

That sort of thing. App stores are stuffed with list apps but most of them are clones of one another and aimed at checking things off or completing tasks. So I'm looking for other ways to figure out if what I want is already out there. Thanks!

Sounds like what you want is more along the lines of an outliner (nested bulleted lists, rather than checklists).

You might also check out mind-mapping tools, as some of them have an outline mode.
