I’m a big fan of lists, and have been experimenting with various To Do list systems for quite a few years. Recently I’ve been using Culturedcode’s Things, which syncs between a desktop version and my iPhone. While I like Things, in the past year I’ve found myself relying more on a plain text file.
I suppose part of it is feature overload — there are SO many great apps out there with all kinds of cool features, but sometimes I find myself spending way too much time fiddling with the settings. I started a plain text file for daily tasks out of a need to see just the bare content without the distractions of other stuff.
Which brings me to Taskpaper, which was developed by Jesse Grosjean. Jesse is also the developer behind Writeroom, a minimalist writing environment. [click to continue…]

Last month, I posted a review of Black Mana Studio’s Manuscript app for the iPhone, saying it was a disappointment. The developer has released an update which appears to fix the import and export issues from an to Google Docs. I’ve only had a chance to do some preliminary testing, but so far everything appears to be working fine now.
From Black Mana Studios:
Hi Inkygirl,
We have just released a new version of Manuscript that deals with the points you’ve mentioned. It should be live on the app store within a few hours (or days, depends totally on Apple).
After installing this new version (v1.1.3), you will be able to start documents on Google Docs and import them to the iPhone, as well as edit existing documents so they can be imported into Manuscript (even if they were not written on Manuscript).
To do so, follow these simple guidelines (after you download v1.1.3):
1. First line is the Manuscript name
2. Second line is the author name
3. Each chapter starts with a number and then a dot, like “1. Chapter one”, “2. Another chapter” and so on.
4. Four lines of space before each chapter header will signify it is a chapter header.I have posted a document template on our support forums, under the Manuscript announcement section.
We are always open to feedback and comments, and wish to constantly improve our app.
Thanks,
Aki,
Black Mana Studios.
I still find the user interface takes a little getting used to, but at least I’ll be able to save files into Google Docs.

THE SILVER ANKLET is a sequel to Mahtab Narsimhan’s THE THIRD EYE, which won The Silver Birch award in 2009. For those who don’t know, The Silver Birch Award is a province-wide honour given by Grade 3, 4, 5 and 6 Ontario students. Although administered by the Ontario Library Association and run by teacher-librarians and teachers in schools and by children’s librarians in public libraries, the final choice is made by the young readers.
