A Really Great App – Trunk Notes Personal Wiki Review

The only downside I can see is that it doesn't play with Text Expander anymore (except with keyboard -- Not TE's strong suit, in my humble opinion. Markdown is a "must." It doesn't take much to pick it up, and the app supplies two or three "auto Markdown" buttons are very useful. Also, my daughter, who hates to learn anything new, fell in love with Md right from the beginning. I think she'll like TrunkNotes as well. Another nice feature (if read the app doc correctly) you can add multiple attachments to the page. Not ever iOS app works that way. I'm planning on using that feature quite a bit. I worry that when people don't quite get what they want out of a Wiki, it's because they don't get the idea of always relating one thing to another. If you keep that in mind, this App will do far more goods things than you can imagine. If you don't get it, the app will be the same mess as your "folders/Subfolders scheme-- the same mess plus the aborted learning. Don't "one star" because you couldn't any use from the effort you put into the app. It works, it's cheap, and the developer answers your questions about the app is designed to work. I've looked into these sort of apps for quite some time. They all have the same pain point: they do not do the thinking, and they only organize things the way you tell them to. The reason you want this app is because the app itself makes it easy to learn on the fly. My suggestion: if you plan to use the app for research, begin with a simple outline, and follow thru using the outline as your guide. A sample outline works just fine. Assign a page to each point in your outline and build the links in the same downward as you outline uses. E.g. Roman numeral links to points A, B, and C. And point A links to A-1, A2,A3. You only need to do this once to get the hang of easy linking. Once your Wiki is up and running, you can work on anything you want, and you won't need the outline. The point about the app is that you link one thing to another, and try hard to use linking instead of writing the same point twice and then forgetting which version is "the real one. One more linking example and then I'll shut up. When you add a contact to your Contacts App, Apple let's you start from the name, email addresses, phone numbers etc. but if you stroke number only (can't be done in the App, of course), how can you know whose name is rhe contact you are trying to call.
