Thank you *Paul*, I've never thought of looking at 'alternativeto.net' for stuff related to Leo. This is a very good idea to get insights for rehauling the presentation of features and what to put in the forefront of the docs to reach the potential users with more efficiency.
Your other arguments are very interesting and leave me with much to ponder and think about. So thanks for that ---- Thank you also *Thomas*, May I remind everyone about the "foundational features" post originally by Edward, which is an issue on Leo's github: https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/issues/1025 This could be a starting point in a hypothetical reference document that would define even in more details and precision the core features of the *leonine editor with outlines,* independent of its underlying implementation. (python, js, or other...) ------- Some personal thoughts: The genius of Leo, its 'foundational features independent of their implementation' or, if you will, the 'Leo-as-an-idea' concept... Is the masterpiece, from Edward's mind. Maybe Edward feels otherwise because its implementation is, as we all know, a monumental achievement. And, on the other hand, the thoughts of the features only came to his mind in a short instant back in 1998 effortlessly. But that alone, is invaluable and not reproducible. You can only 'wish' to have ideas of that sort in your lifetime. Edward actually did. Félix On Saturday, July 6, 2024 at 5:37:48 AM UTC-4 Edward K.
