Hi All !
I couldn’t agree more. If you can’t take criticism, software dev. is not for you. Get another job !
And, it may seem like I don’t take these into account, but I do, within (1) the vision of what IQ is and what it should be and (2) the limited time / resources I have.
IQ Outliner is a step in that direction, I hope users will find it useful (and manageable !)

P.S. I have to say I don’t remember if I’ve ever seen this much hype about an outliner before.
Even kids getting in on the action (though probably under a bit of home schooling parental pressure ;)

I think you’ve done an excellent job of handling criticism and of responding to it in a productive manner - namely, IQ Outliner!

I see that TheBrain 12 has added this feature of automatic recognition when you type the name of an existing thought:
https://www.thebrain.com/products/thebrain/thebrain12
Automatic Recognition of Mentions
- When a thought name appears within notes it is recognized automatically.
- Mentions are highlighted and respond to a right-click with a context menu to activate the mentioned thought or convert it to a direct link.
- Mentions utilize intelligent recognition of plural and singular word forms so exact matches are not required.
Related Thought Display in Content Area
- Mentions: Thoughts whose notes contain the name of the active thought even if not explicitly linked.

Speaking of wilting under criticism, there’s this
Reddit user said after Conor posted his intemperate response he blocked the user.
https://www.reddit.com/r/noteplanapp/comments/wu6mbq/this_is_the_response_i_got_from_roam_research/
No, the original complaint wasn’t specific with constructive ciritism, but it’s just another example of Conor’s thin skin.
