--- Comment #14 from Cougar Brenneman <[email protected]> ---
I've just added the various steps along the way, including the final document
as a pdf, which I produced in three hours. I'm not fast enough to do this five
page document in three hours without the outliner as demonstrated in the
screenshots.

This is not a document that I will use. I wrote it for demonstration purposes.
I have more thinking to do before turning it into an app with JS. I may be
months away from that. 

I'm not a good enough programmer to produce device ready apps yet. What I
produce can only be viewed on a computer. Here's an example of an app I wrote
which uses chi energy for Conscious Evolution:
http://www.grokwisdom.org/apps/boosting.php

Nonetheless, this is an example of a final destination for my writing. I have
so much work to do on the various elements of my project that I can't waste
time trying to write stuff using LibreOffice, when I need an outliner to
produce material quickly.

I believe that producing the attached five page document without an outliner
would have taken me six to eight hours, rather than the three I took with Word.

What I need as a writer is the same as a developer asking for an IDE for
efficient programming. What you offer me as a writer is the equivalent to
giving me WordPad. Until you create a tool that works efficiently, and allows
me to bang out a five-page doc in three hours, I consider it substandard. I
can't use it for my work. I'm too busy to waste time trying to monkey around
with it. For me, it's just a waste of time to use LibreOffice.

Like I said, my attached pdf doc is not ready to become an app. I was still in
the brainstorming, research phase while working on other things. This pdf doc
was in the pipeline, but I decided to take it to this next step to provide Jay
Phillips with the sample doc he wanted, as well as screen shots that show how I
use an outliner to produce the final pdf in three short hours. 

Even if this feature request is a duplicate, I'm reopening it to provide the
information that Jay requested and to emphasize that you've been marking such
requests as duplicates and then ignoring them for years. 

This means that for me, your product IS LITERALLY UNUSABLE. DO I HAVE SOMEONE'S
ATTENTION YET?
