TUAW Podcast #24: Journler
[Update 2: The direct download link is working fine now, and
This week's podcast is a screencast of an app that I finally 'get' and have subsequently gone nutty for: Philip Dow's Journler. It's an app very much like Yojimbo, Mori and SOHO Notes in that it's a journal/digital junk drawer for your work and life. For roughly fifteen minutes I cover some of the coolest features in Journler that both grabbed my personal attention and caused me to chose Mr. Dow's excellent app as my new blogging tool of choice for penning most of my TUAW and Download Squad posts.
As usual you can pick up a copy of our latest podcast (weighing in at 36MB and 13 minutes on the dot) from our iTunes Store Podcast directory, this direct link or our own podcast rss feed. I'm also please to announce that I finally did some research into why my previous video screencasts weren't iPod-friendly and have fixed the issue. Even though this particular screencast might look a little tiny on a 5G iPod (I captured the entirety of my 1440 x 900 MacBook Pro display, then re-sized to 640 x 398 for this one), you should nevertheless be able to take it with you on that commute you're packing up for. Enjoy!

While watching your podcast, I noticed you had iGTD in your dock. I was going to use my Journler as my ToDo list, but them after seeing the show, I was thinking maybe I should change my mind.
Do you favor iGDT as you Todo list app and only use Journler as a info inputer / storage and blogger?
Well the lower version is fine. Maybe do a high quality version to paid subscribers. As long as you keep the price low, like $5 a month people who want the hi quality can have it.

If it's possible to offer two versions of the file then I think a lot of us would appreciate the option to go for something a bit more detail - really useful in screencasts. :)

It's also what creates the spotlight/dimming effect at certain times. Quite configurable and very handy for drawing attention to certain things you're doing, especially when using keyboard shortcuts the viewer otherwise can't see you pressing. It's $15 and worth every penny if you're a screencaster or presenter.
What is used to display the keyboard shortcuts over the screen like that in the video? I have never seen that before.

The podcast really showed me some stuff I have not tried. Thanks.
Heh. Some of my code's in that app.
