2016 winter festival of artisanal software

Artisanal software works better because it works together.

You see lots of cheap software bundles offering 99% discounts. That’s not us. We’re independent software craftspeople who work every day to make software do things it couldn’t do yesterday. We work hard to make everything work together, because that’s the right way to do it.

Sometimes, working together requires advanced technology and cutting edge coding. Sometimes, it’s just a matter of putting two tools together and envisioning how they can aid each other.

Here are a few examples. Remember: for a very limited time, save 25% on these terrific tools by purchasing them at the workshop gate.

HoudahSpot and DEVONthink: While researching a story, an app idea, a paper or any other project, you collect a lot of reference material. This includes notes, documents, bookmarks, mail messages, etc. The collected data may be scattered across your Documents folder, Downloads folder and Mail folders. HoudahSpot will find the relevant bits of information when you need them.

Better yet: HoudahSpot can find items in your DEVONthink database. You just need to enable Spotlight indexing for your DEVONthink database.

Want to limit your HoudahSpot search to just DEVONthink items? Easy. Add a "Content Type" criterion to your HoudahSpot search. Use "Find by example" to tell HoudahSpot which kinds of files you want. From search results, drag a DEVONthink item and drop it onto "Content Type" criterion. The search will update to match only the files that share the same content type as your example file.
