Web Outliner?

Thank you all for the informative replies. I’ll be kept busy checking these links out. I’ll let you know what I find.

I had a brief look at a couple. I had no idea that Notecase Pro was cross platform. Thanks. It is, in fact, close but yet so far away. I wish the folders were tags and the tags were folders. The web apps were interesting and ioutliner, in particular, looks like it has potential. But I couldn’t find a way to search (could have missed it). I’ll take a closer look at the mindmapping links.

Seems like I tried orgmode some years ago. There was something about it I didn’t like but I should really take another look at it.
