Thanks for this great find. Leaving out the ‘Story’ component, this software is much closer to the huge virtual corkboards we talked about here http://www.outlinersoftware.com/topics/viewt/3934/

Story Turbo costs 0,99 USD (yes, 99 cents) for 1 PC and, for what it does, it is for me more useful than OneNote. Its concept is something long available in desktop publishing programs: there is the page where you lay out what is going to be published, but around it is a much greater area where you can place all the collected material that you may possibly use, including drafts, images, notes, placeholders etc.

Story Turbo advances this concept quite a bit, and I am impressed. There are still rough edges and unfinished features but the developer is clearly on to something.

Equally impressive is the library of examples and guides to use Story Turbo for specific applications. I wish all developers would provide this kind of kick-starting material for their products.
