My dream: use Leo everywhere I currently use Microsoft Onenote. It is my "all my thoughts in one place" tool. For those not familiar with it: think of MS Word as a multi-doc outline editor combined with wiki. It has: - universal search - hierarchy: Books >> Sections >> Pages >> Sub pages, 3 levels -- (very limited compared to Leo) - easy hyper linking to Book, Section, Page, and Paragraph - links don't break when target is moved (with limits; they must stay in same book) - paste images from clipboard, shows in-line with text; image resizing - rich text - when pasting from browser the source reference link is included - super easy table creation (type, tab, type --> you just created and populated 2 cells) - macros (c.f. Onetastic) - Pages have history, similar to version control - Recycle bin - Multi-user simultaneous editing. Author paragraphs are marked - Can be stored in local or remote file system, and used in-situ - Synchronization between local and remote is transparent and usually seamless - Offline disconnected editing - Feature full In-browser web editing when desktop app not available Where Onenote falls down for me: - - Hierarchy is limited - No clones - Zero code awareness - Macro language is it's own thing, no synergy with outside world. (Though I think it might based on C#?) - MS is deprecating Desktop app in favour of in-browser web app and the web app is less capable. I have now built a personal and business knowledge base in 3 platforms whose authors then moved the environment in a way I couldn't follow. I'm sick and tired of rebuilding. - Doesn't run on Linux (without Wine et al) - Can't wrap text around images - Export and or conversion to other formats is limited Why I don't use Leo for this purpose already: - No rich text editing (plain text in one pane and rendered in another is v. different experience) - Can't paste images (to be fair, this is hard. In a plain text world where to store them is a wicked problem.) - No table editor - Co-workers, Leo is too niche for them. (I'm the only hacker type). - Keyboard interaction is just unique enough from my accumulated decades of muscle memory that I don't get comfortable in it. (This one is something I could address myself with custom key-bindings. I just haven't yet.) None of these are complaints! They're just the friction points that get in my personal idiosyncratic way.
