Outliner for nonfiction book
11/25/2018
Does it have word wrap? Longer lines seem to truncate with ellipses.
Can I do a traditional outline, e.g.,
A.
1.
i.
etc.? That seems missing as well.
Otherwise, a very nice piece of softw...
When something is free, and you take it, the only comment to make is...thank you.
Pierre, I took advantage of your more-than-generous offer. Merci!

He could have the best app in the world, but if it hasn't been designed for the market that needs and wants it most, it's going to fail.
It's nice to see a new single-pane outliner for Windows, and this one seems well designed with a useful though basic slew of features. But 60 bucks? Yeah...not. And it isn't clear whether that princel...

Unlikely. UV Outliner hasn't been updated since 2012, and its forum is off-line. The developer now works for this company:

UV Outliner still works fine, but it doesn't seem lik...

Would you like seeing every developer conducting a beta to post each and every update to the beta on this forum, in separate messages?

I did read your whole post, and while I also like to "fool around" with the software - much of it very good software - that independent developers create, I would not "rely" upon that software, as the...

Just like with books, blogs can be good and bad. And nowadays, when *anyone* can self-publish a book, the line between a book and a blog is increasingly thin. I wouldn't put much faith in most self-pu...

It doesn't bother me one way or the other, but it probably does make sense to consolidate everything under a single "Sheet Planner Beta Releases" thread. Less clutter, and everything relevant to the t...

I don't think he's a troll. He may in fact be a talented programmer, but in other aspects of software development, such as how to announce a product, promote a product, etc., he seems clueless. The bl...

I wonder if InfoQube would be seen as less "unfriendly" if there were an option for a "basic" interface, stripped of all the add-on stuff and with clear instructions on how to access that add-on stuff...

The point isn't that you can't swipe the original Ecco interface, it's why would you? That interface is old and ugly, by today's standards, and likely won't appeal to anyone but those nostalgic for Ec...

In your Medium article, why are there several strike-throughs of terms like "in game" and "game mechanic"?
And you wrote:

If you buy the software, Microsoft will enable it, and will keep it enabled, for as long as they're in business, which I imagine will be longer than the remaining lifespan alloted to me here on our wo...
