A Resource For Architects

Cardflow+ for planning

Cardflow+ by Qrayon: Beyond Index Cards

When I am not screwing around on my phone, I am using my iPad. 80% of what I do with Architekwiki is done with my iPad. The app I am describing is for the iPad.

I use the hell out of Trello; but for some things I've found another visual planning tool that works really well. Cardflow.

Cardflow mimics index cards on a tack board - but lots better.

I Used To Loathe Ballpoints

I used to loathe ballpoints, and I still do. Now it doesn't matter because I rarely use a writing instrument.

I do use my finger a lot. And I type a lot. And I have been trying dictation lately. Too soon to say if that will be a ’keeper’. Next up will be an Apple Pen.

Bookkeeping - Still Searching

5/1/2016

I don’t know what it is about accounting. It is really boring. And yet I am repeatedly drawn to the challenge of finding a system that works for architects.

This past week I revisited two services that I hadn’t looked at for over five years - LessAccounting and FreeAgent. I have already put LessAccounting aside for the time being. You would probably need a better timekeeping system than LessAccounting’s app, LessTimeSpent. And other aspects just weren’t falling into place.

FreeAgent on the other hand has me digging in.
