Anthemion

As people may have noticed, quite a lot of work avoidance has been going on this weekend (ahaha!), and I thought I’d catch up with an old favourite of mine, Anthemion (http://www.anthemion.com). No, not a product, a tiny-wee company run by Julian Smart and his writer wife. They produce several products, including Writers Cafe (which appears to have foundered somewhat) and Jutoh, a very nice eBook authoring program (which is clearly their main focus of attention at the moment).

The reason I thought of Julian is because of Smereka - Julian also uses wxWidgets and C++ to produce cross-platform software. You might find him interesting, Yaroslav - he’s a very nice chap (I used to use Writers Cafe quite a lot) and has his own blog at http://www.juliansmart.com

The two products are, moreover, kind of outliners (though not in the strict, folding/hoisting sense - now that would be a couple of great features for Smereka! although I suppose you could argue that tag filtering is a kind of hoisting - well, okay, so it isn’t really…).

Cheers,
Bill
