It's one of the most exciting projects I've seen in a long time: it's intimately related to Leo: http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/front.html a project that I've been working on for 15+ years. Code bubbles is great work. From the demo, it appears that you may have solved a problem that I have been wrestling with for all those years: namely how to create and preserve an immutable "identity" that does not change when content changes. Leo will never become mainstream unless a way can be found to maintain Leo's DOM (Document Object Module) without inserting so-called sentinel comments in the users source files. It's possible that code bubbles will show how to do this. So I am supremely interested in knowing exactly how code bubbles works internally. OTOH, Leo does everything that code bubbles does, and lots more, so you may be interested in my work :-) If you are interested, you can get the full Python source code for Leo at https://code.launchpad.net/leo-editor/ I've just filled out an application to be a beta developer. However, I wonder whether you could provide early access to code, or otherwise answer questions about how you make bubbles work? I hope this is the start of a friendly cooperation between our two projects. My dream is that someday some mainstream project will "steal" all of Leo's ideas. Code bubbles might turn out to be that project. Edward ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edward K.
