Can you explain the differences or usage scenarios for each of your apps?

[bigloudjeff]

A few of the Hog Bay Software apps seem to have a lot of overlap in functionality. Especially TaskPaper and FoldingText. Can you please give a quick explanation or some usage scenarios around how you see your different apps being used, please?

Thanks,

Jeff

There are a few related discussions in the forums. Here’s the first that I found:

TaskPaper (3) vs FoldingText

As a user of FoldingText’s basic functionality (and being a sucker for new software) I wonder what people see as the benefits of using TaskPaper over FoldingText. Are there any killer features in TP not present in FT? On the surface it seems like TP is but a lighter version of FT. I am sure I’m missing something here and I’m basically just fishing for a reason to buy TP (other than to support Jesse’s future efforts). (FWIW, I prefer the checkboxes in FT over the dashes in TP3).

Generally my thinking is that TaskPaper is more polished Mac app and best for making lists. But if you want to compose documents (instead of just make list) FoldingText is of course much better, since it is based on the fairly expansive and expressive Markdown format.

Also, going forward FoldingText is developed by @mutahhir, separate from me and Hog Bay Software. I’m a cheerleader for FoldingText now, but don’t play any part on it’s development/marketing/etc.
