Hi Andy, I am a writer who fled Windows seventeen years ago, but I ended up on Linux. I have been using Leo since 2007.
While I can't really help much with installing on a Mac, I can tell you that Leo will be suitable for your task. I have learned to use it for everything, to the point that other than a web browser, it is about all I use on a daily basis. Once installed, the learning curve is what you make of it. I learn something new about Leo on a regular basis. I have read through the documentation three or four times and am due for another go through. I have learned a little bit about python over the years as well, but I am not a programmer. As such, I feel that the power and utility of Leo is like a deep ocean underneath me, but what I need is easily accessible here on the surface. Leo meets my needs. It structures my writing, organizes all of the clips, quips, quotes, bookmarks, and soon it looks like it will be able to help me easily organize all of my images, pdfs, video and audio files using the same concepts. It keeps me organized. It keeps me productive. I encourage you to "give it a shake". I would also evangelize for Linux, but that is an entirely different story. :-) Welcome aboard, Chris On Sat, Jan 6, 2018 at 7:07 PM, andyjim <andyji...@gmail.com> wrote: > I want an IDE/organizer for thoughts, ideas, journaling, writing.
