A flexible editor and information organizer
What do you like best?
VoodooPad is great for free-form editing, note taking, brainstorming, and organization of complex information. It greatly reminds me of a wiki format -- each document is made up of multiple pages, each of which is automatically interlinked with the others based on document titles (and manual links). This makes it an ideal organizer for information with several nodes (i.e. class notes, a recipe box, research project, etc.). I have used it for class notes, long documents (i.e. employee handbook), and other projects where a single linear document does not suffice.
What do you dislike?
Some of the document structure is left up to you, so you have to approach it intentionally. For each of my projects, I created an index page where I added links to each subpage. If you are naturally organized, you will be able to mold VoodooPad around your system. If you struggle in that area, you will find VoodooPad almost too flexible.
VoodooPad is desktop-heavy, which is unfortunate considering that on-the-go editing would be a valuable addition to the software.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Experiment with a demo version to identify if the software will be an intuitive match with your organizational or project system.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
VoodooPad allows me to organize complex projects where heavy amounts of information are stored and live in relation to each other. Although it can export in a variety of formats, it seems best primarily for internal use and organization rather than as a publishing tool.
