Merlin Project now also supports Noteplan
At the latest with version 3, Noteplan has become a serious representative of Markdown-based note-taking apps.
With the flexibility of Markdown - which lets you quickly write text and create tasks - the app also offers some options for recording and organizing tasks. Add tags and mentions very easily, speeding up your workflow with natural language typing and auto-completion of tags, mentions, and links.
The reason I got in touch was due to numerous requests from Merlin Project customers who also use Noteplan for further documentation: They were looking for an easy way to hand over their data.
That's how I met the owner and main protagonist this year; Eduard Metzger lives and works in Panama, so he enjoys not only the good weather there, but also an excellent infrastructure. As a result, he always makes a very relaxed impression in our conversations.
Thanks to our AppleScript interface we were able to realize a simple data transfer. A free sample script can be downloaded here.

In the United States, such solo self-employed people are often referred to as "solopreneurs". The word is a combination of the two terms "solo" and "entrepreneur". It refers to a person who acts in an entrepreneurial manner, i.e. recognizes and courageously seizes opportunities - and does so alone and without a team.
