Mark, thanks for posting this! I’ve only looked at the demo but if this really works as described, then the hyperbole might be justified.

I’ve actually looked for such a software before when I was asking for a horizontal version of Outline 4D’s timeline view (or index card board), but nothing came close:

However, Ginko does exactly that! This could be incredibly useful for academic writing (and possibly screenwriting etc.), where you need to write highly structured documents in terms of hierarchical levels.

It might be more useful for planning a document than to actually write it in full, but if it would be possible to export from Ginko as RTF, then one could carry on the writing in O4D, which would be a way of having an O4D as it should have been designed in the first place…

Running to try it out…
